Videofile

Hi Heinz, I just tried it with the essential theme but I did not have any problems installing.
I'm using Moodle 2.5.3+ (Build: 20131115), Essential 2013100800 and Videofile 1.04 so we're not running exactly the same software. However, I think it might be something else, are you running any custom blocks?
Best regards, Jonas

I think it has something to do with my theme "essential". If I try the videofile-version 1.03 I got the same error.

I forget: I'm using moodle 2.5.3

When I try to install I got the message: Error in coding: Trying to reference an unknown block region side post
Has anyone an idea to solve this?

Hi Aleksandar, it's a hard problem to actually protect the videos from being downloaded but it's possible to remove the menus and the link so it's not quite as easy.
Observe though that the big downside to removing the download options is if anyone has problems with playing the videos, they will not be able to play them in an alternate player. Video in browsers comes with problems when trying to reach 100% coverage but if you can control the environment for your users, then this is not much of an issue.
I'll try to add this functionality in the next release.
Best regards, Jonas

Hi Jonas,
I've installed Videofile on my Moodle 2.5.3 and everything works well, including Macedonian Cyrillic subtitles. There are only two things that are causing a big headache.
First, I have the following text under the video: "Video not playing? Try mp4". How can I delete this message?
Second, how can I disable the right-click with the mouse over the video? Right-click allows users to download the video which is something that I'd like to avoid. What I'd like to do is to protect my videos from downloading.
Is any of this possible?
Best regards,
Aleksandar

Thanks Jonas, we are using suPHP on this server. First time I have installed via internal mod installer on this box. The other server is running fcgi and haven't had an issue on that one.
Just installed another plugin using same method and same file/folder permissions, so there is the culprit.
Thanks for the quick response and all your work on a brilliant addition to Moodle!
Cheers
Brett

Brett, are you using suPHP? I downloaded the 0.30 version from the plugin page and it looked like all folders/files were 755/644, would you mind doing the same just to make sure?
Also, have you installed other plugins that did work properly? Could you point me to one of them so I have something to reference?
Thanks!

Not sure if this is a system bug or related to our server configuration, so I'll post here and await your advice before adding to bug tracker
Downloading and installing the videofile mod via moodle internal installer seems to set the module permissions as folders 0777 and files 0666
Produces an Internal Server Error 500 message when attempting to run a demo video.
Log shows:
[Fri Sep 13 13 11:16:12 2013] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] File does not exist: /home/xxxx/public_html/500.shtml, referer: http://xxxxxxxx.com.au/course/view.php?id=xx

Changing permissions to folders 0755 files 0644 for all in /videofile module folder fixes the issue.

Tim, you can use http://gist.github.com or http://pastebin.com to share the code and then post a link to it here.

It looks like my copy and paste from the page did not work. Can someone tell me how to share my current code so you can see what I am currently doing?
