Question of the Week
Question: Why are my stats reporting downloads? What about people hitting play on my page? Are those counted?
Answer: To the server, plays and downloads are the same thing. Whether this is playing on a web page or downloading in an app. The only difference is when someone hits play on your page, the file is downloading AS it’s playing (you can’t tell the difference unless there is significant buffering). But to the server, it looks the same. So, they are counted the same.
