Google analitics in vjs.zencdn.net/4.4.3/video.js

[pytkin]

!function(t,a,e,n,m){m=a.location,t.src="//www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmwv=5.4.2&utmac=UA-16505296-2&utmn=1&utmhn="+n(m.hostname)+"&utmsr="+a.screen.availWidth+"x"+a.screen.availHeight+"&utmul="+(e.language||e.userLanguage||"").toLowerCase()+"&utmr="+n(m.href)+"&utmp="+n(m.hostname+m.pathname)+"&utmcc=__utma%3D1."+Math.floor(1e10*Math.random())+".1.1.1.1%3B"+"&utme=8(vjsv)9(v4.4.3)"}(new Image,window,navigator,encodeURIComponent);

Why? and for what?

The most useful thing it provides is it allows us to track browser and device usage. This is only in the CDN version, so analytics are not included if you build it yourself. You can view the PR for more info: #568

@mmcc Is this well documented on the site or the docs files?

Also, looking at the referenced issue, that line isn't loading up any scripts from google-analytics. It's just using the utm.gif to send a beacon out to GA once.

Not really. It's in a blog post and such, but we should add it to the quick setup docs.
