Hello,
We are trying to create an application that monitors whether a video has been completely viewed. While it is not an exact science, we would like to know that a 45 minute vdeo has been playing for 45 minutes (or so) on the client's browser and then give them "credit" for viewing it.
Are there any events that fire at the end of a clip/video that we can capture to then prompt a questionnaire screen?
Any thoughts on how this could be done with your tool?
Thanks!
Marc

We're currently working on a series of updates and new software releases. One addition will be ASPNetVideo version 2.0 which will include a JavaScript API, and a Button/Playlist package.
The JavaScript API as planned will have the following methods and events:
JavaScript API
Methods
LoadMedia ((string) URL) PlayMedia (), PlayMedia ((string) URL) PauseMedia () StopMedia ()
Mute ((bool) MuteOn) GetVolume () SetVolume ((int) VolumeLevel)
GetPosition () SetPosition ((int) TimeInSeconds) FastForward () FastForwardStop () FastReverse () FastReverseStop ()
Events
OnStop () OnPause () OnPlay () OnFinish () OnStartBuffer () OnReady () OnStartSeek () OnStopSeek ()
The current position can be found during the OnStop (), OnPause (), OnStartSeek (), and OnStopSeek () to see how much of the video the person watched and skipped through during playback. OnFinish () will be fired when the video is completed so that you can prompt your questionnaire.
We expect to have completed our current development cycle done by the end of this month at the latest, which will include website updates as well. However, a beta release of this JavaScript API could be available as soon as two weeks from today, or potentially by the 17th of August. We certainly want to make sure we get this right though, so please understand if it takes longer.
I hope this helps, and thanks!

FYI: All of the ASPNetMedia products now have standardized JavaScript API Just check the "Manual" section on each of their website's. Cool Stuff. http://www.aspnetmedia.com
