Example 2:
If want to track the events of an existed flash video player, you need to put a folder named “plus” (contains a plugin file googlytics.swf) and a file addonslist.xml in the same folder with the player files.

The “plus” folder with a googlytics.swf file and the addonslist.xml file can be easily generated with PlayerDIY Web Player.

However, if you don't want to generate the “plus” folder and addonslist.xml file with PlayerDIY Web Player, then you could build them by yourself.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<addonslist><addonsitem href="plus/googlytics.swf?u=UA-xxxxxx-x&amp;vd=mwplayer-play-video"/></addonslist>

Note: Please replace UA-xxxxxx-x with your Google analytics tracking ID.
