Record audio/video question type

The only think I would add to what Chris said, is that if it is getting stuck at that point in the process, then there will almost certainly be an error being shown in the Error console of your web browser's developer tools. And that, error might help understand the problem, if you could find it.

Hi @IvanReid, we've not heard that one before. We do have a new release to come out shortly that has a fix for a known issue where it gets "stuck" if the recording is too short (1-2 seconds) so we've been testing that sort of thing a lot recently. I'm afraid it's sounding very local to your system. Check the system settings for the plugin and the individual Course attachment size and the activity attachment size, maybe? Disable any other plugins?

HELP! It gets studentck at "Preparing upload ...". It's definitely recorded my audio because I can playback in the question, but even for a short 20s recording, it never finishes "Preparing upload" and nothing is stored when I click "Finish submission". Using Moodle 5.0 on Chrome with tested stable and fast internet connection. Plugins show latest version installed.

Thanks @Richard Samson. You are correct, I have updated.

Great plugin. Congratulations. Shouldn't the description be updated to include video support on recent versions?

Thanks Chris, that is a great suggestion, I will raise it with SEB and report back if it can be helpful for other users of the plugin.

Thanks for the feedback, William Weng Also good to hear that other places are enjoying our plugins!
Unfortunately a 'wrong permissions' issue sounds 99.9% due to the browser, so it'd be best to inform the SEB team.
Looking at https://safeexambrowser.org/support_en.html, could you report it in the forums at https://github.com/SafeExamBrowser/seb-mac/discussions and raise at https://github.com/SafeExamBrowser/seb-mac/issues ?

Thank you so much for this plugin, we having been using it extensively. We have recently run into an issue using this question type when students complete a quiz through Safe Exam Browser integrated on Moodle. For some Mac users, they receive an error with the following description: "Wrong permissions - the user must allow the browser access to the webcam/microphone/screen". We have checked that all their permissions have been turned "on" for Safe Exam Browser however they still face this error message. I was wondering if there is something you could help me investigate? Please let me know if there is any other information you would like for me to provide!
Thanks,
William

Great plugin!

Yes, this is a free plugin. It uses modern browser standards to record and playback audio/video/screens.
I think that the other similar but commercial "record AV" qtypes include some sort of AI analysis/feedback, which this doesn't. But that's because the OU business hasn't said that's as a necessary feature.

Hello, is it a free plugin??

@Ben Hill and @Ellie Woods, Moodle 4.5 version finally released!

Hey @Chris Nelson - any news on a Moodle 4.4 (or possibly 4.5) release for this plugin? Thank you!

@Ben Hill: Happy New Year!
I've resent the contact request so we can message each other on Moodle.org, and that way we can exchange email addresses to more directly discuss this.
I will chat with our new lead developer this morning about how up-to-date the public GitHub is. We're currently on M4.4.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your response - it would indeed be useful to be able to chat about this more directly.
In the meantime, any chance of getting an early release beta version of the M4.4 plugin? The engineers on my side are moving forward with the "Show question content after recording starts" function, and would be interested to see what modifications you are making!
Thanks for your time, good luck with the continuing late summer push!
Happy new year to one and all!
Ben
