Total course duration from length of all Vimeo videos

[everlearn]

Is there a way to show the total course duration based on the duration of all the Vimeo videos used within the Units of the course? And is it possible to get a rapport on the total amount of minutes watched per course by students? Maybe with an addon? Thanks in advance for your support.

Well no right now there is no way right now to get this as we do not have the content information here . You can use wplms unit timings addon to track time spent : https://wplms.io/downloads/wplms-unit-timings/

Thanks for the reply Alex. The unit timings addon, that registers the time someone spends on the unit page right? So it is not neccessarily tracking how much minutes someone looks at the video on that page is that correct? Thanks in advance for you response.

yes it tracks the time spend on a unit , it does not checks whether user is looking at video or not. There is no such accurate mechanism to track this actually . The unit timings will give you close details .

Does the WPLMS video player have an API that triggers events and have event handlers for when it is playing and when it stops playing etc like the Vimeo Player? We then might then be able to transfer the code that we created for registering the minutes watched from our current custom LMS to WPLMS We could of course use the Vimeo player but we'd rather use the WPLMS player due to its neutral interface.

YEs it does have this but you cannot access it from outside. We can try adding this video play pause session in our user sessions addon : https://wplms.io/downloads/wplms-user-sessions/
