Instructions for Open Video Player (2.0 and above)
The Anvato Analytics Plugin for Open Video Player is a small flash module (20kB, swf) that tracks both user engagement and video player statistics. Any OPV based players can load this module dynamically. Once activated, it will collect statistics and deliver them to the Anvato Analytics server farm so that you can view analytics online at http://analytics.anvato.com . Because the plug-in sends data silently to your Anvato analytics account, you will not notice anything different about your player after it is installed.
If you use a OVP based video player that use standard OVP netStream classes to display video, such as AkamaiNetStream or OVPNetStream classes, you will integrate analytics with your player using Anvato Analytics ActionScript API. This is easier than it sounds: All you need to do is add a small piece of code to your player, download and initialize the plug-in.
