see file name in analytics event tracking

Hi reza,

I’ve tried to find anything about this on the Internet but I was unsuccessful. I’ll ask our Senior Programmer about it later today.

Thanks for patience,
Juraj

Hello Reza,

I run into the same issue just the other day. The fix for the issue will be part of the next FV Player version – the video title will be used for the tracking.

If you need the fix right now you can reinstall FV Player from this link: https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Reza,

you can read about the video titles here: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/adding-title-and-splash-text

If you want to use it in the shortcode, you have you use the caption=”…” attribute. I see we should be changing that to title=”…”.

This whole mistake started as in WordPress they used to refer to the image labels as “captions” and we made a mistake of using he same word. While in the world of video when you say “captions” you mean the closed captions or subtitles.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Reza,

are you sure you are checking this properly? The best place to check if this works properly would be the real-time event stats in Google Analytics – except it doesn’t show the Event Labels there.

So you will have to wait before new data is collected in Google Analytics and check there.

If you know how to use the browser developer tools you can check in there as well – look at the __utm.gif requests and you should see the proper video title appearing in the utme attribute.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Reza,

please double-check you are using the latest FV Player version, or send over Settings -> FV Player -> Tools -> System Info.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Reza,

caption=”” is the correct shortcode argument.

17 events for 3 video plays sound fine, as there are different video categories:

* Video start
* Video first quartile
* Video second quartile
* Video third quartile
* Video complete quartile
* Video / Seconds played

So if you want to just see the number of plays per video, look for “Video start” event category only.

For more information check our Using Google Analytics with FV Player guide.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Reza,

it largely depends on how do you show that popup form at the end of the video. Do you use Settings -> FV Player -> Actions -> Custom Popups with some HTML code?

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Reza,

so does that work with our Settings -> FV Player -> Actions -> Custom Popups feature?

How does the form embed code look like? I’m trying to see if we could provide some general replacement tags which would make it possible for you to track the post title where the FV Player was showing the popup.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Reza,

I understand that, please let us know about what I asked before:

so does that work with our Settings -> FV Player -> Actions -> Custom Popups feature?

We need to see how your form integrates with FV Player.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello reza,

what code do you put in to show your form and have it processed properly? Is it HTML code? Would something like this help?

<input type="hidden" name="post_title" value="%post_title%" />

Perhaps we could provide such replacement tags. Although I would prefer if FV Player could just work well out of the box with some good form processor plugin.

Thanks,
Martin
