this causes a clash with certain plugins (namely the one I use google analyticator) ... I am removing it from 2.0.1.0 untill I can veryify it does not skew stats by double loading the javascript

I've just downloaded the plugin and am feeling my way around. I hope you don't mind me registering here to add a comment encouraging you to return to the 'Google Analytics' issue at some point. It would be really great to be able to use GA 'events' to track interactions with the videos. And doing it that way, instead of considering videos as if they were page views would probably also help avoid the 'double-coutin' risk.

Hi Tim,

No I do not mind at all, infact I wish more people would register to give me feedback!, perhaps it's time I opened a forum, I may ask the flowplayer authors for a sub forum on their site.

In any event thanks for your feedback, I have still been working on this 'in the background' so to speak, I am adding this to the next milestone.

Cheers

As much as I would liek to include this in 2.0.1.3, there isn't time and 2.0.1.3 fixes a major bug, as such this will form part of 2.0.1.4

Buzz,

I know that feeling... There's always too much to do. First things first: fix the bug before worrying about the bells and whistles of tracking.

Removing form 2.1.0.0 release, I can not figure out the javascript required to detect if the GA lib has been preloaded.

All current tests have caused 'double stats' when a secondary plugin / another instance of GA is loaded.
