Question

Video Views Counter

Hello,

I have a dynamic playlist that is populated by XML and I would like to have a "viewed" textfield next to each video showing how many times it has been clicked to play, exactly like YouTube's views.

I'm not 100% certain how I want/should tackle this, but I was looking at the File object from FMS and somehow interacting with that or my web server runs ASP 3.5 and I was thinking a hit counter that way.

Any tips, ideas, advice on how hard this will be to accomplish would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Alex

    I think there more than one way you can achieve this. I did not your use case very clearly though but let me try answering it. Also i did not understand how you would use File Object to get the count.

    Like you said - you can use web server for keeping the count

    If you using FMIS, you can develop Auth plug-ins to keep track for request for each of VOD content.

    you could also increment a value stored in a persistant shared object every time somebody started the stream.
