Looking for player stat logging native/web plugin examples

[rshetty00]

I'm looking to capture/log some of the embedded VLC player events particularly those related to live streaming (HLS/HTTP Live Streaming and Smooth Streaming etc) for a bigger Analytics project. At the same note I'm also interested in capturing these events both from the native /standalone app and from various browsers (Firefox, Safari) under as many OS (Windows 7, Mac OSX 10.7.3, iOS5 and Android if supported) .

Any examples/exact steps for a quick hack/POC will be greatly appreciated.

Rephrasing! Could anyone please point me to any code examples (C / C++) of plugin that captures callback events from VLC mediaplayer in native/standalone mode? I'm surprised that there was no response from VideoLAN team! Tiered searching net.

I too am looking for a similar way to retrieve data from VLC web-plugin
-- has anyone out there written an extension for this?

(and also wondering if plugin is actually functioning on Mac 64-bit browsers)

thanks in advance,
David

FYI I was told Mac 64-bit plugin doesn't work.
I resorted to collecting stats by modifying native player etc.

thanks. i also saw a post about 64-bit plugin not working.
i guess its confirmed.

modifying native player was my second option,
any chance u will post yr code as an extension?
(i am hesitant to embark on it without knowing how difficult it might be to send in-out points plus a few descriptive fields to a database)
all help appreciated

Still don't understand what exactly events are you talking about...
