    I would log every read access to a pod logged and available in the stream. I use the JSON API to get data from PODS and instead of creating my own logging function, I would like to use this plugin. That way I can keep track of where the requests are coming from, and potentially, restrict access as required.

    Actually it would be even better to be able to trigger an event and log it with Google Analytics, or Piwik, etc.

    I got it sorted out. I did a lot of things and finally got it working using the shortcode to link to the actual post.

    Sorry I can’t be more specific, but I’m figuring it out as I go on!

    Ok, Google really buries it, but I was able to change that phrase.

    1. Home
    2. Admin
    3. Account Administration (Click account name – I have an account name that is the ‘owner’ of all my websites.
    4. Click on desired web site name.
    5. Click on profile name (the default is ‘All Web Site Data’)
    6. Profile settings tab – Change the profile name!

    That fixed it, the correct web site names now show up in the dropdowns, but the problem of the data being combined still persists.

    Thanks again for amazing support!

    EDIT – Just noticed that the correct Google Analytics Tracking ID is now on my WordPress site. So its probably just a matter of time till data shows up!

    Sorry for you specific questions,

    1. do NOT use the slashes in the bucket name!
    2. I don’t know what the problem is with the playlist, I didn’t have that issue, you may want to grab the entire new version from github and test that version, although I have no idea if it is ready to be distributed.

    Hi there, wow.. I just re-read my post and realized that I linked to the wrong program. I meant to link to the original s3.php program that the plugin uses:

    S3.php

    Sorry about that, that is the program that is used in the includes directory of s3-video. If you compare those, you will notice that they are different. I’m not sure how major the differences are, but as soon as I overlayed that program, my videos at least showed up in the listing.

    Also, Safari and iPad requires files in the h.264 .m4v format, not .mp4!! This plugin has a specific list of file types that it looked for so the .m4v files would never even show up!! At this point I was ready to start writing my own code for this function.

    All that being said, I eventually gave up on this plugin when I noticed that it didn’t work on Safari on my MacBook or on my iPad! Digging around the source code again showed that the format to display videos on is different than what is shown on Apple’s documentation:

    Using HTML5 Video

    I guess Firefox and Chrome are less strict in what they require, but Safari and the iPad need the HTML in a very specific format. I could have continued hacking this plugin, but I eventually gave up and went with a different product S3 Media Maestro that worked right out of the box. It’s a paid plugin, but I had already spent way too much time trying to get my videos to display, and I was desperate for a solution. Oh yea, I sent a note to the plugins author at 10:15pm and got a response about 15 minutes later. I even got a short discussion going with him that night, so the support is top notch. ??

    It works fine for me on a vanilla installation of 3.5.1.

    Make sure that you add the ‘?themedemo={themename}’ to the URL.
