Thanks for the pointer, Chris!

I need a way to increment the view counter only when the media file is 
loaded. How can I achieve this?

Also, Sebastian Spaeth told me that at the moment there is no way for a 
plugin to alter the template of the media page, but a hook mechanism is 
being discussed. That why until the implementation is ready, I think I 
will go for a new page under a route like this 
/u/<string:user>/m/<string:media>/viewcount.
