Hi,

I'm in desperat need to know how the Audio module can track play counts. I need this functionality but in combination with another mp3 player module.

I've studied the code but still I can't figure out how the number of plays are calculated. I've found a function audio_play in the audio.pages.inc. This function does, by other things, increase the play count. The big problem is I cannot find any place where the function is called. Could it be that it is inside the mp3 flash-player? Can it be that changes has been made to the Audio module's mp3 flash players? 

function audio_play($node = FALSE) {
  // Increment the play count.
  db_query('UPDATE {audio} SET play_count = play_count + 1 WHERE vid = %d', $node->vid);

The only place I find a reference to function audio_play is in the audio.module meny_hook:

  $items['audio/play/%node'] = array(
    'page callback' => 'audio_play',
    'page arguments' => array(2),
    'file' => 'audio.pages.inc',
    'access callback' => '_audio_allow_play',
    'access arguments' => array(2),
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
  );

Any help is much appreciated!

The function audio_menu tells Drupal what function to call when a certain URL is accessed. In this case, it says that when http://example.com/audio/play/314 is accessed, call the function audio_play($node) with node number 314. So nothing in the audio module directly calls that function, but the function does get called when that URL is accessed.

Okey, I see. Thank you for your answer.

Any idea how I can use the same solution with the MP3-player module? Can I make changes to the MP3 module to make this work?
