Heyhey,
I'm down to my last with the new File API and really big scorm packages.
Scenario: I have a client with really big packages: 500 MB / 12.000 files (it's generated with a software named TTS).
I'm coming from the german forum and I've heard all the talk about "Who would make such big courses?", "Why don't you use something else?" etc.; now I really need a solution.
I've expanded max_execution_time to nearby infinite and managed to upload (and get to work ...) an 360 MB course. But it took me 4 hours (the fails not counted).
There has to be a simpler way! I've come to understand the file API & i don't want every file used this way (when I use the scorm activity).
Now I upload the ZIP file ('cause Moodle accepts only ZIP files), the problem is not the unzipping (at least i think so); it's the huge "make-a-hash-update-the-database-and-copy-the-file-process".
I've managed to upload HTML-Deserts via Folders (Verzeichnis in German). Can it be done similar?
I didn't understand the two other options available: When I link to a manifest, moodle complains "File not found", even if everything is right in place.
Please help me. If this wouldn't work, we have to seriously consider to move to another LMS - cause such big courses are very common in germany (due to a very aggressive Marketing Strategy by TTS).
What's to do?
