I want # of times Video played instead of views

I want number of times Video is played instead of number of time video is viewed. Any idea how to do it ?

If your wanting to change the word "viewed," use "_bx_videos_view_alt_view" to edit language key. Change, recompile and clear cache.

Hey Newt, I think what the user meant is "how to get dolphin to count the number of times the video is played rather than how many times it has been viewed" which I think is a big difference.  Reason being is that (I think) once a user view a video, it reflects as just one view.  If that same user came back and viewed that video every day of the week, the view count will still be only 1 view.

 Not so true, there is a timeout.

The problem is refreshing the page will also increase views without actually viewing the video; if that is needed, there is no way to make sure.

What you want to do is to somehow monitor when a person clicks on the play button.  Here is a start concerning HTML5 video events and APIs.  http://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html

I really don't know, I just point to the information, the developers will have to implement.
