logging video plays / metrics
hey everybody!
i wanted to ask what approaches people have taken to log video plays and gather metrics from their roku apps.
obviously, in some sense you could monitor the request for the video files on the server side. however, i was hoping there might be a way in brightscript that i could record when people selected to play a video, and ideally send this information to the server. i realize BrightScript by its nature is pretty sandboxed, and looking at the API i didn't see any obvious way of making HTTP/network calls to log this type of information...
does anybody have any suggestions? thanks in advance for your help...
