Is there a way to collect events from a channel? For example, how many times a file was clicked or length of a play for a video?

Thanks

If I understand what you're asking, why can't you collect that information in your code? You know when a video is launched, and you can monitor the notification period events during playback to determine how long it's played.

That is what i am looking to do and send that information to a remote server for logging.

Without seeing your code, it's hard to give exact details, but you should be able to capture a launch from the selection of the "Play" button on your springboard (or from the poster screen, if you're not using a springboard), at which point you could send an asynchronous web request (or synchronous, if you're not concerned about the delay it might cause) to your server to capture the data. Then, on your video screen, be sure to call SetNotificationPeriod(), and you can use the notification event to send additional web requests to your server to record playback time.

Thank you Endless. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
