How to disable tracking on a <mux-video> element

[bennlich]

Hiya. I notice that my mux-video elements make a lot of HTTP requests to inferred.litix.io. I assume this has to do with the MUX Data playback tracking. Is there a way to disable these requests? I am not interested in tracking playback statistics.

Thanks for the question! Currently there is no way to disable Mux data on this element.
it's a good suggestion though, I'll bring this up with the team!

@luwes any update on this? This is a high priority feature for our team.

We use a custom beacon domain but we don't have this active when developing locally. This means we see a stream of errors from Mux in the console and it's a DX pain.

sorry, it's not yet implemented but we want to add support for this.

This feature has been released in @mux/mux-video@0.18.0

I have it blocked on my Firewall. I cannot stress how important it is to have a firewall that YOU manage. I love my Firewalla. You would not believe how much garbage I have kicked off my network. But, you do whatever is best for your situation.
