A callback function similar to Yourlytics (no longer supported in JW5) which would allow you to increment a view counter or perform any other task. There is currently no way to increment a video views counter which is essential to almost any video sharing website.
The ability to detect the state would be nice, but even a simple one time script on play would be perfect.
Have you looked at the onPlay() JavaScript callback? That should be exactly what you’re looking for. Here’s a simple example:

The onPlay() callback does not work for counting views. The onPlay is called each time the video is paused and played again, this results in multiple requests for one instance. Is there another option? I am using onComplete right now to create my views but would like to be creating them at the beginning.
The onPlaylistItem() event is only sent out once for each video. That’ll indeed be better than onPlay().
