How to measure audience using jplayer pluggin

[Luis Mendes]

Hello,

I'm building a radio plugin onto my website and I would like to measure the amount of people listening to the radio stream.

I've been checking on the API events of the jplayer pluggin, namely Progress and TimeUpdate, to find a way to measure the total audience in a given time. Does anyone knows how to do it? It's a bit trick this one!

Thanks in advance, cheers!

You could use Google Analytics events generated in the jPlayer: play, pause and ended events.

[Marc Dingena]

$('#jPlayer').bind($.jPlayer.event.play, function (event) {

    // you probably already have this handler in your javaScript code, just find it, and insert the row below (provided that you are using the new ga.js from Google Analytics)

    ga( 'send', 'event', 'jPlayer', 'Play' );

});

You can do the same for the other jPlayer events.
