We present FacebookVideosLive18 dataset, that contains Facebook live videos metadata, their broadcasters and viewers locations.
FacebookVideosLive18 dataset includes 1,000,000 Facebook live videos with their metadata (title, source, length, creation time, description, etc.), broadcasters locations and viewers locations. We are using a set of synchronised scripts that allow to have a global view of the real time streaming system every 3 minutes. We believe that our dataset is the first that tracks the locations and behaviors of live viewers. We expect FacebookVideosLive18 to support various trending research areas such as cloud computing, multimedia data allocation, multi-cloud allocation, edge computing, edge caching and transcoding, data analytics, etc.
This dataset is fully described in our paper submitted in ACM Multimedia Systems Conference MMSYS'2019 .
