With the first one, you can put an AJAX event on play button click to send information to server.
With the second one, I think it will be difficult if not impossible. There are a lot of possibility user stop to watch:[list]
[*]internet down <-- how could we check this?
[*]user click stop button <-- can be tracked, just as play button click event
[*]user close the browser <-- still can be tracked
[*]server down
[*]etc
[/list]
When writing this, an idea come to my mind.
First as I said before, you need an AJAX click event to send information to server when user click "play". This information will be saved in a session (or database), and it will contains the current timestamp.
You can use set_timeout or whatever to send information to server. This will update the information before, add "end-time".

What do you think?
