Hi,
Am a newbie to Moodle. Kindly advice.
I am trying to create a lesson with multiple content pages. Each content page has an image, some text in a table and an audio file (created using "link" in moodle). On clicking the audio file link, the content page window gets replaced by the audio player. Should I use frames to prevent this? Are there any better ways of associating an audio file with each content page?
TIA!
Regards,
Sree
What audio file type is it? (mp3?) Do you have the multimedia filters enabled? See Audio
Hi,
My audio file is an mp3 file. I work with Moodle 2.2.6. I enabled the filters for multimedia files after reading through the chapter on Audio. I work on an Ubuntu Linux machine.
I uploaded an mp3 file and want to use Moodle's in-built mp3 player to play it inline. However on creating a media item, I get a message that "QuickTime Plugin 7.6.6 needs your permission to run" When I right click and select the option "Run this plugin", I get an error message as below
The parameters passed to the application had an invalid format. Please file a bug!The parameters were:--transient-for=20971772gstreamer|1.0|totem-plugin-viewer|text/html decoder|decoder-text/html
After saving, when I view the content, there is a black rectangular area corresponding to the media link, but the controls don't appear.
Kindly advice. TIA!
if you don't want the audio file embedded in the page add the parameter target = "_blank" to the URL. In the selection box for the URL properties you will want 'open in new window' or something like that. I think that is not enabled by default on the install so that selection may need to be enabled in the URL module by an admin.
If you want to embed it save your audio file on your computer and then use the insert Moodle media function. The proper filters and what nots will need to be in place as Mary suggests. However, it sounds to me like you have the audio file somewhere else and are trying to link to it.
