there appears to be some way of doing it with a global var of _wpmejsSettings. I’m working towards using that nicely, but for now and for the record I’ve managed to get plays registered as GA events by hacking the wordpress/wp-includes/js/mediaelement/wp-mediaelement.js file. You can add some lines to the ‘finished setting up media’ callback function setting.success like this…
settings.success = function (mejs) {
…
mejs.addEventListener( ‘play’, function () {
_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’,’MediaElement’,’Play’,this.src]);
}, false );
}
Hey,
Just to add some useful information to this topic as it pointed me in the right direction.
if( typeof _wpmejsSettings !== undefined )
{
_wpmejsSettings.success = function(element){
// Add event listeners as per medialement.js docs
element.addEventListener( 'play', function( e ) {
// Do anything for this event
}, false);
};
}
I used the above javascript code to overwrite the success function, the same approach could be used for any of the mediaelement.js options.
