JW Player 6 and Google Analytics

Do you have a link to where you are running this?

Yes,

Ok, so while the WP plugin does support GA integration like this, and the player itself supports it, too – https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1417179-integration-with-google-analytics, I can’t really find any integrations with the “Gravitate” plugin you speak of here.

Yes, I saw Google Analytics option in the plugin. But I don’t know, how it works.

I can see the instruction in the article, but how can I implement it exactly?

Where i can put this tag ga: {}

Thank you,

In the WP plugin, you just need to enable the option in the admin. Then, on your site, the ga script tag just needs to be in the head of the page.

Sorry, I couldn’t get you. It is written to add this code:

jwplayer(“myElement”).setup({
file: “/uploads/example.mp4”,
image: “/uploads/example.jpg”,
ga: {}
});

This is the code which adds when we know the ID of the Div. Now, I am using your plugin, what could be the procedure now?

Can you elaborate it, which part of the code, I need to place into head section the header.php template.

Apology, I am disturbing. But it is confusing..

and In the article, a screenshot shows “Video Completes & Video Plays”. Do i need to add any event in the Google Analytic account or any modification in the plugin settings? Or it would be done automatically?

Many Thanks..

When you are using the WP plugin, in the admin of the plugin, where you create/edit players, there will be an option to enable Google Analytics, but only if you have a Premium player license or higher.

Yes, I am using a premium licensed version of JW Player. But, I am not receiving any updates on Google Analytics. ??

I am using default version of player, and already marked the Google Analytic check box.

Can you see the correct code in the source code of my website?

Yes, I see “ga”:{}, in the source.

The issue is that on your page you have:

(window,document,’script’,’//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js’,’ga’);

This is the new GA, which we do not support yet.

Change it to:

(window,document,’script’,’//www.google-analytics.com/ga.js’,’ga’);

Now it should work.

Let me try this, and will tell you the results. Many Thanks

Np.

Hi, from where i can get these events results i.e. “Video Completes & Video Plays” ?

In Google Analytic, I am at Reporting Tab
– On left pane, Intelligence Events and Overview?

or where I can see the results? Or result would come with the same titles like in the article?

And Can we expand these further with Google analytic, like if we will click on Video Completes, then we can know the exact videos played and completed, visitor information?

Events > Overview.

Yes, it shows the exact plays and completes, but not visitor information.

I can not see such options (hierarchy)

I can see that option in Real Time > Events

and there I can see the same table, showed by you in the article. Well, is there any way to achieve more stats about videos events? Just rough idea, which can work with JW Player?

With some custom coding (our API) it can be done – https://www.jwplayer.com/blog/analyze-this-use-jw-players-api-with-google-analytics/

In GA, the events are here:

Behavior > Events > Overview
