• What 'plays' are included in the KMC analytics?
Playing an entry in the Preview & Embed window counts as a play in analytics, but the play time isn't tracked. This window is for previewing the player and generating embed code, so play time here isn't included.

For play count reports, the names of users who played the entry in the KMC are recorded, in addition to 'unknown' users from external sources. This helps differentiate between content uploaders, moderators, administrators, and other users.
