Hey Martin, thanks for the update.
Pavel.
Hey Martin, we use:
– single video player, never playlist
– videos are simple URLs, not Amazon S3
– never use YouTube, planning Vimeo for future project
– we do use quality switchingThanks,
Pavel.
Hi guys,
the original flowplayer method of collecting data upon leaving the page is not good if we want to have the precise number of playbacks. Closing Firefox with a running video for example prevents sending the tracking data completely. I know that there is no perfect overall scenario but aiming for exact playback number and approximate average of seconds played over each file seems to me very close. And it seems that we have the solution.
I am writing a mail to you so I can attach the screenshots.
Regards,
Pavel.
Actually, I did some research around Google tags and have the solution. Thanks again for the good idea.

Hi Alec,
counting clicks for iPads is interesting idea. Can you, please, give me some lead how to do that?
Regards, Pavel.
I see, thanks for explaining. We are about to run a video-campaign for our client which is international pharmaceutical firm. We need to count every playback of every video so with this new information, we are in troubles. Now it looks like we will have to go manually through CDN raw logs and that is not good for thousands of items. We can not buy another video solution as the site has been already approved to go by the client and we will start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
I would be ok if we would have at least the number of playbacks correct for each video across all the platforms and average plaback times per video excluding ios playbacks.
Regards,
Pavel.
Hi Alec,
I am not sure if I fully understand. Are you saying that iPads are not tracked at all? I thought iPad uses the native player with flowplayer only during fullscreen mode. Also, I have ipads in my GA with the same fv flowplayer on the same site. Only during the site development, setting up cache and CDN, it stopped working somewhere. Also, are at least plays tracked if not the seconds?
Thanks,
Pavel.
Hi Alec,
I just found that the problem is at CDN, where the videos are hosted. I am sorry for bothering you.
Thanks,
Pavel.
Excellent, guys. Thank you again for the great product and quick support.

Hi Martin,
It would be great if I could download the new version asap. We are launching the site during the weekend. If you would have any other option except waiting for autoupdate, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Pavel.
Hi, the link is http://www.diachannel.cz. The video is on home page, you will have to click through two dialog boxes to get there. Please check the checkbox on the first one.
Also, it looks like the video does not work on iPad.
Pavel.
