An example script demonstrating how to track custom video players with Parse.ly's JavaScript API

example_strategy.js

var platform = "myVideoPlatform";
var strategy = {
    platform: platform,
    searchTags: ["DIV"],
    verify: function(elem) {
        return (' ' + elem.className + ' ').indexOf(" my_video ") !== -1;
    },
    subscribe: function(elem) {
        var playerApi = myVideoJsApi(elem);
        playerApi.on("play", function(playedVideoMetadata) {
            // this hypothetical player API calls its event handlers with
            // the metadata of the video as the only argument. with a different
            // player API, you might need to perform some more metadata lookups,
            // possibly from disparate data sources.
            PARSELY.video.onPlay(playerApi, playedVideoMetadata.id, {
                duration: playedVideoMetadata.duration,
                image_url: playedVideoMetadata.image_url,
                pub_date_tmsp: playedVideoMetadata.pub_date_tmsp,
                title: playedVideoMetadata.title,
                author: playedVideoMetadata.author,
                tags: playedVideoMetadata.tags,
                video_platform: platform
            });
        });
        playerApi.on("pause", function(pausedVideoMetadata) {
            PARSELY.video.onPause(playerApi, pausedVideoMetadata.id);

        console.log("Subscribed to custom embed with ID '" + elem.id + "'");
