Targeting different players on the same page

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › Targeting different players on the same page

  • Willie M. 1 year, 1 month ago

    We are using the following code to track video views to our own database. On one page however, we have several different videos. How do you target those different videos? Is it by adding a class to a div or is there a setting in the shortcode to add?

    Do we need to use the ‘each’ function in Jquery to make this happen? Any help is appreciated.

    Here is our code:

    jQuery('.flowplayer').on('fv_track_start ', function(e,api,video_name) {
    var tracking = {
        "post_id" : <?php echo get_the_ID(); ?>
        "video_name" : video_name, 
        };
      jQuery.ajax({
          data: tracking,
          type: 'POST',
          url: 'https://domain.com/video_tracking.php',             
      });
    } );

    Hello Willie,

    Are you not getting the proper video name in the video_name property?

    Or do you mean that each of the videos belongs to it’s own post ID?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Thanks Martin for your response.

    The tracking works perfectly. What I’m trying to do is track individual instances of FVPLAYER on the same page.

    For example, we have:

    — Main Video (video 1)

    • smaller video (video 2)
    • smaller video (video 3)
    • smaller video (video 4, etc…)

    I would like to be able to track each of these, BUT I want to be able to track them differently. In other words, I want to send via Ajax whether it is video 1, 2, 3, 4, etc..

    The video_name variable works but it is not easy to know which video that “video_name” is coming from. It’s just pulling the title.

    I would like to pass some variable such as:

    var video_type = “main”
    var video_type = “sub1”
    var video_type = “sub2”, etc.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello Willie,

    Could you simply set the title for each of the videos? https://foliovision.com/player/features/accessibility/adding-title-and-splash-text

    Then that will be used as the video_name.

    If you want it to not appear for the users on page you can hide it using CSS: https://foliovision.com/player/faq-intro/css-tips-and-fixes#hide-video-titles

    In FV Player 8 you will be able to choose if it should show for each video.

    Thanks,
    Martin
