Rudi- thank you so much for sharing this! I have made a few customizations to the code to try to simplify it as much as possible. Changes: Pulled out all ColdFusion. Minimized JavaScript. I hope others find this useful. http://topcweb.com/content/multimedia-tracking-analytics-omniture-jwplayer

Amol,

1) I would recommend going with the JW Player. It has been very stable and well supported.

2) Using my code above as a guide you should be able to create JS functions that populate any combination of eVars or sProps. that you are currently using. You would need to use the s.tl() function as to not inflate page views.

Thanks Rudi, for this article.

On my site we have many videos which we want to track in Omniture SiteCatalyst. As those videos are in flash and to work with Omniture ActionSource implemenatiton is bit difficult, I was searching for some way like this.

I still have some queries and would be really thankful to you if you can guide me –

1. We have the videos in flash and the player we use (rather which is there on site is Adobe Flash Player). To use the above method, should we now replace the player with JW player?
2. You have used Omniture Media Tracking events in the above code. As I understand, Omniture media tracking will only work with SiteCatalyst version H.15 & above. Do you have any idea on this? We have H14 implemented on our site.

The questions might be very basic but I would be really thankfu to you if you could giveme some guidelines on these questions.

Many thanks again for the article and sharing the knowledge.

Best regards,

Amol

Thanks for the information on how to do this with JW player. I was doing some research on if we could switch to either a skinned version of Flowplayer or JW player at work and continue tracking various events in Omniture.

Much appreciated.
