Hi Agnes, We don't have any datasets that track video plays, yet. The closest thing we have that's public is to count media views, so the number of times someone loaded the page that the video is on, and you can find that here: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/mediacounts/ I've created this task, and we'll see where we can prioritize it (but probably not for quite a few months). I'm not sure who maintains the tool you linked to, but it runs on our cloud infrastructure, and it looks like it was created by Stefan Schneider from WMDE, based on this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Harej On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 4:24 AM Agnes Bruszik < agnes.bruszik(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:

Dear All, We are experiencing problems with this tool: https://tools.wmflabs.org/commons-video-clicks/help.html#, the tool for measuring the number of plays is not functioning at present. Can you please suggest alternative tools to see the number of plays for these 14 x OER MOOC video snippets attached we have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and inserted into relevant Wikipedia pages?

New subject: [Wikimetrics] Wikimedia Video tracking tool

I recommend https://tools.wmflabs.org/mediaviews/ If you know where I can find the source code for https://tools.wmflabs.org/commons-video-clicks/help.html# I can submit a patch to update it (recently I changed the URL of the data source and the redirect I have set up doesn’t work too well).

https://tools.wmflabs.org/mediaviews is an alternative. I'm guessing the commons-video-clicks tool isn't using the new API endpoint. ~Leon On Mon, Jul 2, 2018 at 11:02 AM Dan Andreescu <dandreescu(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:
