I am going to host a video website with Vimeo players, I would like to know if there is a way for Jquery to actually detect the play button being pressed, then counts to 30 seconds and finally sends an ajax call to a PHP script to insert +1 view in a video_view table?

I can manage all the php and mysql part but I am unsure on how to detect a click on a "play button" and then starts a counter that works on any devices that kick start an ajax call 30 seconds later.

Any help would be more than appreciated.

Thank you!

Regards,

Ben
