One Player to Rule Them All…
Last week I read a great post by Vaugn Denny about the JW Video Player. And being of the curious sort I had to investigate further. So I visited the JW Player web site. And I was greeted with a page that claimed that they had a video player that would not only play flv files, but wmv files as well. And with further reading the player claims to have an open API with access to the player events. Could it be true?
One Player to rule them all, One Player to track them,
One Player to bring them all and in the darkness correlate them
In the Land of Analytics where the Shadows lie.
Track Your FLV Video Files With Omniture & FlowPlayer
EDIT: After I wrote this I found a new video player that will play flv, wnv, and youtube videos.
I've been working on our Omniture integration for a while now and recently I started working on the task of tracking our videos. I know that Omniture has some very nice features you can use with Action Source code, but what if all you have access to is the end result of the flv file? With no tools to edit a player, or the ability to embed the code in the files/players? It's a bit of a challenge to say the least.
I needed a way to track flv files with the same amount of details that the Action Source would provide in a reliable, easy to duplicate fashion. My search for this led me to an FLV player called FlowPlayer. It is a nice easy to implement player with easy access to the API and the events.
