Hi everyone,
First of all I apologize if this is the wrong section where to post this, if needed I will promptly move or delete this post.
My workplace's Moodle site often makes use of embedded YouTube videos (in iFrames) in 'Page' resources inside the courses they provide. One downside to doing this is that it's not possible to display a clickable 'Chapters' section or live transcript container, like here: https://ableplayer.github.io/ableplayer/demos/youtube4.html
I wanted to try AblePlayer out and suggest it to my workplace because after some research it looks like it's the only way to achieve this, but I'm faliling at installing it and setting it up in a Moodle XAMPP installation (we do not have a testing environment). I am not proficient with Moodle. Can I get this player to work in Moodle with XAMPP, and if so how? I tried following ChatGPT's instructions (copy the downloaded folders such as 'build' to a folder inside server/moodle/theme, and then edit the head.mustache file so that there are always the required <script>s in the <head> of the HTML page), then disable VideoJS, but it just doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone successfully installed this video player? Is it reliable or will it need major adjustments long-term? Or do you have any suggestion on how to implement a 'live transcript' box for videos in Moodle (for free)?
Thank you.
