Introduction:
As of Webtrends Analytics 8.7d, Webtrends no longer supports streaming media log files. As an alternative to this, Webtrends now reserves the WT.clip_n, WT.clip_t, and WT.clip_ev parameters to record media events.

The parameters represent the following:

WT.clip_n – Media name (e.g., newsclip.mp4)
WT.clip_t – Media type (egg., Quicktime)
WT.clip_ev – Media event (e.g., view)

The following WT.clip_ev values are used within Webtrends media reports:
25 (25%)
50 (50%)
75 (75%)
p (Plays)
f (Completes)

These are open-ended in that they can have any values up to 512 characters in length. They are used in the following custom reports in Webtrends Analytics 8.7d and above as well as Webtrends On Demand:
