Google Analytics

Flowplayer can work hand in hand with Google Analytics. Analytics has a wonderful feature called Event Tracking which is just perfect for Video applications. You can track when your visitors push play, pause or stop button and gather information about the event to be send to Analytics.

Chaining JavaScript plugins

We have a brand new demo that has a JavaScript based playlist and controlbar plugin working together. The whole thing can be constructed with single javascript call of the form: $f().controls().playlist();. This is a true demonstartion of the "pluggable" nature of Flowplayer configuration.

Please visit playlist and controlbar demo. The demo requires version 1.0.1 of flowplayer.controls.
