FastPix Video Embed

The FastPix Video Embeds plugin (filter_fastpix) adds support for embedding FastPix videos directly into Moodle rich-text content. Teachers and content authors can insert a shortcode—or use the optional FastPix editor button—and Moodle automatically replaces it with a playable FastPix video when the page is viewed.

filter_fastpix is a display-only plugin. It stores no user data, tracks no viewing activity, and writes no grades. For completion tracking, watch analytics, grading, private videos, or DRM-protected content, use the FastPix Video activity plugin (mod_fastpix).

The plugin builds on two FastPix Moodle components:

• local_fastpix, which manages FastPix credentials, API communication, and asset metadata.
• mod_fastpix, which provides the playback capability checks and player rendering used by the filter.

Install local_fastpix and mod_fastpix before installing this plugin.

Video embedding

• Embed videos in any Moodle rich-text field using a simple shortcode.
• Works in forum posts, Pages, Book chapters, labels, course summaries, quiz feedback, and other supported content areas.
• Optional editor integration allows authors to select videos from a picker instead of manually entering playback IDs.
• Multiple videos can be embedded on a single page.

Playback experience

• Videos render using the same FastPix player used by the FastPix Video activity.
• Adaptive playback works across modern browsers and mobile devices.
• Content surrounding the shortcode remains unchanged.
• Public videos become playable directly within Moodle content.

Permissions and access control

• Rendering respects Moodle's mod/fastpix:view capability.
• Users without permission see the original shortcode instead of a broken player.
• Missing, deleted, or unavailable videos display a friendly notice.

Private and DRM-protected videos

• Public videos can be embedded directly.
• Private and DRM-protected videos are intentionally blocked from inline embedding because they require short-lived playback tokens.
• Users are directed to the FastPix Video activity where secure playback can be managed correctly.

Performance and privacy

• No watch tracking, completion tracking, grades, or analytics are recorded.
• No personal data is stored by the plugin.
• Implements Moodle's Privacy API as a null provider.

Administration

• Simple installation through the Moodle Plugins Directory or ZIP upload.
• Standard Moodle filter management controls for enabling and ordering the filter.
• Recommended filter ordering guidance helps avoid conflicts with other content-processing filters.
