I'm trying to put together a demo for a client and they are saying the clicks aren't being tracked; that "other than clicks, everything else seems to be tracking correctly".
They are using doubleclick ads and this is what was sent to me --
Pre-fetch Tag:
http://ad.doubleclick.net/pfadx/N270.126913.6102203221521/B3876671.446;dcadv=2215309;dcove=o;sz=0x0;...[timestamp];dcmt=text/xml
ClickTracker (There are two formats depending on the set up of the video player):
or
(Third Party)

I'm not sure where/how to add the clicktracker, can someone please help?
-- Here is my code --
Video Player:
<div id='mediaspace'>Media Player</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('http://www.producersweb.com/home/public/jwplayer/player.swf','mpl','600','400','9');

Hi Ellen,
I'm pretty sure the issue is that you need to run the very latest version of OVA.
To test quickly, you can try running the QA version here:
http://static.openvideoads.org/qa/latest/ova.jwplayer.5x/dist/swf/ova.swf
Just set your Flashvars as:
plugins=http://static.openvideoads.org/qa/latest/ova.jwplayer.5x/dist/swf/ova.swf
But, for production, please don't run it from the QA server. Download it from the OVA developer site and install locally - You can find the developer site at http://developer.longtailvideo.com/ova, register on there and then go to the Download the Latest page to grab the SWF
This QA version is about to go live and it does fix some issues around Click Tracking...
Let me know if this resolves your issue.
Paul
