Is Google Analytics event tracking possible with Easy Video Player 2?

Hello,
Prior to buying EasyVideoPlayer 2, I want to make sure that it's possible to get Google Anlaytics event tracking working with it.

I know from reading the sales material that it's possible to get some form of analytics but I want to make sure that it can also be made to trigger Google Analytics events.

There doesn't appear to be a way of contacting the vendor to ask a pre-sales question.

Has anyone ever got this working ?

    Dave,

    The question you may want to find the answer to is what the EVP code that you embed for a video to be visible on your website looks like and what portions of it you can manipulate. I do not have any experience with EasyVideoPlayer but a lot of experience with event tracking in Analytics. You must be able to embed code into an object in order for analytics to track it.

    For instance if you were tracking a Youtube video

    //-- <iframe width="560" height="315" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Videos', 'Play', 'Baby\'s First Birthday']);" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uytDNpGMyJw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> --//

    As long as you can apply the _trackEvent method to an object in the video, you should be able to track it.

    Hope that helps,
