I want to be able to track how long a video plays and submit that info to my database. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,

I have a site where people setup there own account at http://www.pplexec.com/leads/hub/smcgilvray
They create an account here http://www.pplexec.com/leads/login
I need to capture the time played for each video and apply it to their leads that they generate for themselves.
So if I send someone to http://www.pplexec.com/leads/hub/smcgilvray and they submit the first form I want to know how long they watched the second video. When they go to the final page there are 3 more video's and I want to know how long that lead watched each of them?
Thank you for any help you can provide,
Sean McGilvray

Hi Sean,
Since you need to capture the data for something else, you can use Madlytics or CountTrackula.

These plugins were not written by us, but you should be able to customize either one of them to fit your needs.

Hi Sean,
The best way to track video plays would be to use our Google Analytics Pro Plugin - http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/plugins/107/Google-Analytics-Pro?q=
