Hi there,
on out Moodle site we have prob with our video player.
Normaly we have an old Moodle 7.1 in use with an old jwplayer.
The videos are embedded by a template in the videoeasy filter
(HTML5 tag).
If I open a subsite in our Moodle presence with embedded videos , I can only the
black rectangle, where I expect to see a generated preview of that
video (m4v - File). When I click on the black retangled I can
watch the video.
So I updated to Moodle 7.2 which allowed me to install a new
jwplayer from Moodle. But the behaviour of the video does not change.
in "lib/medialib.php" I can do some settings for the video5.
Most of all I can set a value for the preload - attribute
<span class="mediaplugin mediaplugin_html5video">
<video $idtag controls="true" $size preload="none" title="$title">
$sources
$fallback
</video>
$sillyscript
</span>
Values for preload can be "none", "metadata" and "auto".
I could see no changes of the video behaviour with all values.
What we want is to let the user see a preview
of all embedded videos without loading all videos entirely in order
not generate to much traffic in case of many videos on a site.
This is because too much traffic could cause probs for
the drag and drop
When the site is load the video is in a tag with a class
"jw-state-idle". Which is probably what we want. But how do get
a preview of the video ? Settings ? Do you recommend other players ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
Benedikt
