BigBlueButton BN

@Nelli Hunanyan
test-install is not meant to be used for production, even though you can run all your tests having full capabilities. For production you should have you own server or a host your sessions somewhere else. (see http://www.bigbluebutton.org/commercial-support/)
Regarding to the error message, well it is very clear. You are not using a supported version. You can either upgrade you Moodle at least to 2007101591.12 (see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Releases#Moodle_1.9), or you can try changing this restriction editing the version.php file. Although there is no warranty that the plugin is going to work in that version. there are too many changes between versions. I would suggest you to upgrade.
Good luck.

Hi, this is exactly what I was looking for...
Congratulations for a grate job!!!
I´v installed an activity in my moodle 2.5 and it works!
Some quiestions:
1. Can I use the BigBlueButton test server for my real conferences or I have to install in my server?
2. I have another moodle 1.9 that doesn´t allow to install the activity:
I have an error:
The module "bigbluebuttonbn" (2013071000) could not be installed because it requires a newer version of Moodle (this version is 2007101509, and the module requires 2007101591.12).

German, This problem has been reported previously by people who had their BigBlueButton server broken. The first test you should be sure to do is testing the plugin using the servers by default provided by Blindside Networks. if you do a quick call to http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api you should receive an xml response.
If you need further help please go to the forums. Either opening an new thread at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=7797 or with a post on the corresponding one to the release you are experiencing problems. http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=208959 It will be easier to follow up there.
Also, if you think you found a bug that can be reproduced please add an issue with more details on the tracking system http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB/component/12231

Hi,
I'm testing BBB module in a Moodle 2.5.1 (Build: 20130708) site before to pass it to production, but every time I try to enter into a BBB activity, I'm getting the following error:
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@predinsa.miscursos.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
I have my BBB server running (with demo examples) working fine with a 0.81-beta2 version.
If you need to try this are the credentials of the administrator:
URL: http://predinsa.miscursos.net/moodle25/
Username: admin
Password: administrador.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Iqbal, without knowing anything about your BigBlueButton server, we recommend 25 users or less in a session. See https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#How_many_simultaneous_users_can_BigBlueButton_support

what is the maximum number of student attendees for this plugin ??

Unable to connect. Please check the url of the BigBlueButton server AND check to see if the BigBlueButton server is running.

I just recently added this to the Moodle Tracker for Big Blue Button: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-4416
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing a problem but the activity completion tracking is not currently working for the Big Blue Button module with Moodle 2.4.

To my knowledge the recordings just capture the slides, the spoken audio and the chat.

Fred, seems to be working now, after your upgrade was complete.
However, please help me understand what is recorded, is it just slides or also audio and annotation? I am just seeing slides and not other content. From the sessions recorded. I'd gladly screen share as you have suggested but wanted to start with a better general understanding of the capabilities. This is not clearly documented yet.

I am testing with moodle 2.5 and the newest BBB. I am able to use the room just fine but it is not posting the recordings. Are recording able to be made with your test server, http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/ or is that a limitation of your server?

After install module, cannot add instances of bigbluebuttonbn, because my network is between a proxie cannot connect to default bigbluebuttonbn server and obtain the version of server, in fact it's return "cannot connect". This string are not a valid XML (begins with <) and it's fail.
Perhaps change the code of function bigbluebuttonbn_wrap_simplexml_load_file($url) in locallib.php solve the problem and say "the server or salt are not correct"

My moodle installation has moodle version 1.9.5, and I installed the old version 2012032600 of bigbluebuttonbn for moodle 1.9 that cannot download any more.
We are migrating from moodle 1.9.5 installation to moodle 2.4, so we want to update the bigbluebuttonbn too, and the meetings.
When I try to update de module it's fail with this code:

I will probe with the latest source of version bigbluebuttonbn, any helps will be apreciated.
Thank's and regards.

That was my mistake. I didn't even think to use the Moodle tracker for 3rd party plugins. Thank you for pointing that out.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the feedback.
I am really interested in the use case you are pointing but as this is not a forum , I kindly invite you to add a new discussion topic into the forums https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=7797. That by the way is the right place for following up issues like this.
Also, I remind you that the right place to report bugs or ask for new features is the Moodle tracking system https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB/component/12231
Best regards,
