I am trying to setup a course that is a single page with a video file (mp4 file type) attached to it.
I am able to link/embed small videos ~100mb without any issues.
When I try to do the same with larger files ~300mb-900mb (tried 1 video that is 900mb or 3 video files that are 300mb each), I experience an issue. The page seems to load fine, but if I jump around back and forth in the video player, eventually I will get an error (see picture below). The error seems to appear quicker and more often with the larger file than the smaller one.
At the point I get the error message in the video player, the entire website is down for all users. It automatically goes back up after 10-30 seconds (probably some cache that regularly gets cleared)
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
I get the same results whether running on our externally hosted production server (dedicated host with plenty of resources) as well as our smaller internal servers.
Moodle: 3.1.2
Server OS: Windows Server 2012 , IIS 8 also tried on Windows Server 2008 R2 with similar results
PHP: 5.6.23
