How many video files? accesses?

We'd like to get an idea of how many video files have been uploaded into the system and, if possible, how many accesses there have been to them? Does anyone know how to find that out?

We have a report on our system that provides that type of data:

Here is the query to get a list of courses and the number of videos they have:

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT 
c.id AS course,
c.shortname,
COUNT(f.id) AS numvideos,
SUM(f.filesize) AS size
FROM {course} c
JOIN {course_modules} cm ON (cm.course=c.id)
JOIN {context} ct ON (ct.instanceid=cm.id AND ct.contextlevel=:contextlevel)
JOIN {files} f ON (f.contextid=ct.id)
JOIN {modules} m ON (m.id=cm.module)
WHERE f.mimetype LIKE 'video/%'
GROUP BY c.id
ORDER BY numvideos";

Then, for a particular course, I use this query, passing in a courseid, to get the listing of videos.

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT f.id AS idx,
f.filename,
m.name,
cm.section,
f.filesize AS size,
cm.id
FROM {course} c
JOIN {course_modules} cm ON (cm.course=c.id)
JOIN {context} ct ON (ct.instanceid=cm.id AND ct.contextlevel=:contextlevel)
JOIN {files} f ON (f.contextid=ct.id)
JOIN {modules} m ON (m.id=cm.module)
WHERE c.id=:courseid AND
f.mimetype LIKE 'video/%'
ORDER BY f.filename";

As for getting the number of views, you can try joining on the mdl_log table, but I don't do that, because it is a very slow query.
