i use jPlayer and it's timing events to track a variety of statistics
around audio that i play. i suspect it works just as well for video.

There are usually javascript plugins that you can have handle any
function you like when the video ends...
Never used this but a quick google lead me to here...

Notice it has event handling for when the video has ended.

hello one and all,
i am good with server-side processing. very new to client-side java
script stuff. i think this idea requires that; please give me your
best advice.
client loads a page that contains html5 video. user hits play on one
of the videos on the page and is watching it. what is the best
approach to writing a client-side script, java script, ajax, etc.,
that will report the ending time of the video watch by the user if the
video played either to the end, was paused, or stopped by the user?
you can see i want data on the server for how long the user is
watching the video so that that data can be analyzed and such
information sent back to the video producer for feedback and such.
i am guessing the video player buttons would have to trigger their
onclick events of the pause/stop buttons to run the client-side
script, also the onend/oncompletion of the video, in which the script
will then grab the final video time and report that back to the server
through some predesigned communication data protocol exchange. that
is all i can guess at this point. please help me write such a script
and give direction.
thank you in advance and have a great week. lucas
