Several weeks ago I upgraded from Moodle version 1.7 to 1.9.5 as my site was suffering from malicious code and amongst other things, my html editor was not working. Since the upgrade the site has been fine with everything working smoothly.
About a week ago resource links to flv video files began to stop displaying the videos, where the video outline is showing up in a new window but without the video. All users of the site, using various browsers are having similar problems.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
My method for streaming video files involves composing a web page under adding a resource in the course page and inserting the following code:
<object width="480" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" data="http://www.moodletutorials.org/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.craigcleator.com/y1videos0910/mathsoptions/datenumberamount2.flv&autostart=true&showfsbutton=true"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.moodletutorials.org/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.craigcleator.com/y1videos0910/mathsoptions/datenumberamount2.flv&autostart=true&showfsbutton=true" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <embed width="480" height="360" src="http://www.moodletutorials.org/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.craigcleator.com/y1videos0910/mathsoptions/datenumberamount2.flv&autostart=true&showfsbutton=true" loop="False" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
The only part of the code I update each time is the path locating where I have uploaded the flv file.
Is there a reason why you embed the videos using code? If they are uploaded to your site - and presuming you have multimedia filters turned on - why not just hyperlink to them directly on the page? Type in a few blank spaces, click the hyperlink icon and browse for and link to your video this way - just out of interest, why not try it and see if this too presents problems - in which case we need to think again.
Hi,
I found two methods to include flv videos (uploaded to your site folders) in webpages.
1) just turn on the multimedia filter (if it is off ) by following site administration > Modules > Filters > Manage filters and from its setting select flv files visible. For more details about multimedia filter read the document Than you need to type something related to the flv (you may type few blank spaces) and add a link to the flv file stored in your site files.
2) If you need more advanced flv player, you need to download an activity module from http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2222&filter=1
Follow the instructions given in the help of the module.
The second option is more difficult than the first one but it allows you to present flv videos with more features.
Hope this helps you
