I'm working on a skinable flv-player for a client. Piece of cake.
But the client would like to gather statistics on how often and far videos are watched.

I could think of a couple of ways myself:
- Making a call to the server every x seconds/percent of playtime
- Making a call to the server only after the video has played completely
- Ideally I would have the player make a call to the server with the current play head data whenever the visitor navigates away from the page. I'm afraid this isn't really possible (in a flash-only solution (without any javascript outside of flash)).

I wonder if there are any industry standard/easy ways of achieving this. How do f.i. the big players, like Youtube and friends, handle this?
