Video Easy Filter

Hi Justin,
we're using VideoEasy with our Moodle 2.7.9 installation and in general it works like a charm. However, we've now encountered something, that might be a problem with VideoEasy: we've configured the filter so that a .mp4-video will be played with VideoJS. If we upload the movie in a label, all works exactly as expected, the movie is played via VideoJS and it doesn't matter, which browser configuration any of our Moodle users have. But when they upload a movie via the "file" activity (by drag&drop right into the course) and then click on the movie, the filter seems to be disregarded and the movie is played by whichever player the user has installed (or the generic Windows media player). We've tried unsuccessfully to activate the filter by using the options "resource | filterfiles" (in the "file" activity options) and alternatively "filteruploadedfiles" in the filter general options. Both options can be configured for "All files". We thought that might activate VideoEasy for uploaded files in general, but apparently that doesn't work.
Do you have any advice how we might be able to force Moodle to use VideoEasy for uploaded movies as well? Or is that not possible at all?

Hi Justin,
I use my jw player registration key in the URL as needed. When I inspect the code I see the jwplayer code. Here is 2 screenshots :

Thank's

I would check that the javascript for the JW player is loading ok. You need to use your jw player registration key in the URL for the jw player javascript library. It might be that your test server has not been registered. Login at jwplayer.com and confirm it is registered.

Hi Justin, I have 2 moodle. One for production and one for testing. The test is a copy of the production and they work well.
I update my moodle test from 2.8.10 to 3.02 and I have problem with video easy and jw player. On production everything is OK. But now on my test I have don't see any video.
If I use another player like flowplayer or video JS, no problem, I see my video.
When I loock inside, I have a javascript error : Uncaught ReferenceError: jwplayer is not defined
Jquery is loaded, my key for jw player is OK.
Have you some idea ?
Best regards, Pascal

Rather than fill this up with my issues, I've created a forum post: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=27

Thanks for the reply!
We switched from 2.8.something to 3.0.1 and video easy has pretty much been kept up-to-date as new releases come out.
I made the changes you recommended to the flow player template as well as trying with Load via AMD on and off. I am no longer getting an error, but the video still fails to load. It does download the flowplayer.min.js and minimalist.css from releases.flowplayer.org but doesn't display the player. It does work correctly if I use another player / template, in this case Video JS. This is probably a workable solution for us, but I'll have to check with our users.
Thanks again for your time helping get this sorted!

Yes. It looks like jquery is not available to the template. What version of Moodle/VideoEasy did you upgrade from? If you are using flowplayer, then you should try unchecking "Flowplayer needs jquery" in the template, and instead check "Load via AMD"
I will have to review the way the existing preset templates are set up, they are probably not up to date with the new AMD stuff in some cases.

Hey there,
We have just upgraded to Moodle 3.0 (debian 3.2, php 5.4.45) and have started having problems with the Video Easy filter. It is not displaying videos and the following error is popping up in the browser console when loading a page with a video on it:

Any ideas what might be causing it?
Thanks in advance!

Yes. But depending on how you want to go about it, it might be easier to use Generico. An example of a Generico video playlist is here: http://demo.poodll.com/mod/page/view.php?id=146 . But you could do the same thing with videoeasy. The simplest way would be to use flowplayer or some other player's playlist functionality, and detail the media files in an xml or csv file. If you registered that file's extension to the playlist template then you could just upload/link to the file in an html area.

Hello,
Is it possible to create a playlist with this plugin?

Hi Tim. All the players are just templates in VE. So fiddling with the JS , HTML and CSS in the templates gives you the power to turn the videos upside down if you want. Try removing the fixed width on the player template you are using or replace it with 100% and see what happens.
Many of the players are responsive by default these days, but I put widths in the templates just because I thought people wanted them.

I just downloaded VE to solve an auto-play problem I have, and it did that job nicely - so bravo there!
Unfortunately the video no longer auto-resizes when the browser window size is changed - is there a way to fix that in the VE world?

I do not see any reason why you could not do that. Please try.

Hi. If I would use the plugin for rtmp and for example flowplayer, is it possible?
Is this plugin suitable for rtmp stream? (flowplayer engine is ok).
Thanks

There was indeed a problem with multiple links in the same passage of html. But it should be fixed in the latest version
