An example script demonstrating how to track custom video players with Parse.ly's JavaScript API

example_strategy.js

var platform = "myVideoPlatform";

    platform: platform,
    searchTags: ["DIV"],
    verify: function(elem) {

        var playerApi = myVideoJsApi(elem);
        playerApi.on("play", function(playedVideoMetadata) {
            // this hypothetical player API calls its event handlers with
            // the metadata of the video as the only argument. with a different
            // player API, you might need to perform some more metadata lookups,
            // possibly from disparate data sources.
            PARSELY.video.onPlay(playerApi, playedVideoMetadata.id, {
                duration: playedVideoMetadata.duration,
