<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong><br />
* When an admin adds a video URL in the playlist editor and the plugin fetches the video title and details via AJAX.<br />
* When a page containing a channel playlist shortcode (<code>[vidtray_channel]</code>) is viewed by a visitor, and the cached data has expired (cache duration is 6 hours).<br />
* When video duration display is enabled and a page containing a playlist shortcode is viewed by a visitor, and the cached duration data has expired.<br />
