I am trying to implement youtube video tracking using DTM. I read few posts around capturing different events but couldnt got it working.
I do have media module as part of appmeasurement library in DTM.
Does it need to be a custom script or we can capture values in dataelements?
Any pointers would be helpful
I could get it working with Adobe's Media module and youtube event 'onStateChange' tracking
thanks

UPD. I realised that I need to rephrase the question. So does anybody know how to track Youtube video views that come from a specific QR code? There may be different QR codes for the same video.
My ideas:
According to stackoverflow utm parameters don't work for youtube links. Theoretically I can create a page on my website that redirects to Youtube video page and put its link into QR code. Google Analytics will show stats for this page. But I can't track how long users watched the video because Youtube analytics shows breakdown of External traffic up to domain only and not for exact links. So not ideal and quite complicated with redirects.
Any other ideas? Thanks!

Hi.
We need to create a QR code for a paper leaflet with the link leading to Youtube video page. We are going to add utm source parameter to the link to see how many people will use this QR code.
My question is where I can see the stats on non-standard traffic sources for this Youtube video page? I don't see this option in Youtube itself and I've read that if I link Google analytics to my Youtube channel, it will show data for the channel page only and not for individual video pages. Is it true? How can I see the breakdown of 'External' source in Youtube video page stats to see exact destinations the traffic comes from?
I'm in the process of setting up Google analytics for my channel and it doesn't work (it's a separate question) so I want to understand if it can help me with my problem at all.
Thank you!
UTM parameters will only work to show you data coming to your website. Also, setting up Google Analytics for your channel will only make sense if the channel videos are embedded in a website, otherwise, you just need to use YouTube Analytics.
I hope I can explain myself.
See. I have this little program where I put a link to my site, what I want to know if there's some way to add a tag into the URL so Google Analytics can count the amount of visitors coming from that program.
Like when you parse the GET in php.
something like http:\\www.stackoverflow.com\?something_to_google_analytics_to_read
If this is possible, I assume that I need also to configure that Tag into Analytic's, or?
Thanks
As #SLaks pointed, I can find a step by step guide for create what I wanted in:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?ref_topic=1032998
It is called Campaigns.
Thanks
I need to test an application that reads different mediaRSS feeds and work with the content. My problem is that I'm not able to find many of them. Could you help me with some links?
This is what I've found by now : http://feeds.nationalgeographic.com/ng/photography/photo-of-the-day/
Thanks!
Flickr feeds use Media-RSS.

Any Youtube channel you should be able to get a media rss feed, for example: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/garminblog/uploads
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/IronmanTriathlon/uploads?orderby=updated&alt=rss&client=ytapi-youtube-rss-redirect&v=2
What is the web technology behind displaying live feeds like twitter search results and dailybooth live feed? Can I get similar results from any RSS with some coding?
The main technology behind such websites often is Ajax. This is used to dynamically change the webpages instead of reloading the whole page.
Yes, you can! You will probably need a realtime (PubSubHubbub-enabled feed) to achieve this, and plug it into some kind of websocket/comet/ajax/longpolling client... but that should work easily. Check this, for example. It's the firehose of gowalla checkins posted to a google map. All the code is on github, so it's quite easy to build, play with!
I'm trying to build a Google Calendar compatible feed (atom), that users can subscribe to and use to receive updates, but everything I've read so far involves communicating with Google using the GData APIs. I just want to provide a feed url that can be added to Google Calendar if the user chooses to do so.
When I tried adding the <gd:where> and <gd:who> elements to a 'normal' atom feed, it broke in my feed reader.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there some other way to do this?
I may be being dense, but if you are trying to provide users with calendar info, would it not be a better idea to use the ICS format?
not really an answer but the Rome API may be useful

If you use Firefox and view the source of a Google Calendar feed and then as it to a server it will not work. Why not?
Try it your self.
