General plugins

thanks fabrice yep did not copy the block accross properly as this was in the zipped folder fixed now.

What I was also wondering was whether there might be support for .mpv files in the mediacenter in the future?

The problem only occurs when we're embedding the player in the page. For reference, here's the code we're using (I tried adding your application/x-shockwave-flash bit, with no effect).



Note: Moodle strips a lot of the code out, so I don't think this is going to help. If there's an email address I can send the snippet to, that may be of more use.

Fabrice,

I've installed Inwicast block & mod for Moodle, & am having difficulties, with the media not being displayed. I can access the media center via the block, can upload media (it does then appear in the moodledata/medias directory, and the media icon does display as "latest media" in the block); but the player displays with a ? mark & does not stream the media. Have tried .mp3, .flv and .mov files, all with the same result.

I did download & install the block patch, after installing the block itself;
EMBED and OBJECT tags are enabled;
I moved the medias directory from the block to the moodledata directory as directed, and gave it full read/write (777) permissions;
am using Moodle 1.9
environment mysql 5.0.45, php 5.2.5
checking the db, character encoding is utf8_general_ci for both mdl_users.username and mdl_inwi_medias.user_name

The link to the uploaded media (which fails to access it) is:
.../blocks/inwicast/view.php?id=7&cmd=show_media&mediaRef=MEDIA080503180652117

- any ideas what to try next?
can't wait to get this working - quite a valuable contribution to Moodle!

thanks,
will taylor

I am very excited and grateful with your block except the Rss doens't work

I can see the rss icon and when I click on it, it will be automatically download a rss.php file, but when I open the page of mediacenter, the rss capture window doesn't rise from the right bottom of the browser, but if I enable rss function embedded in glossary,database and forum module, when I click the activity icon, it opens the page and the rss starts to work.  I use Notepad open the rss.php, it does include the content and form that RSS needs, but why it doen't be generated as rss.xml, may then the browser or itunes can catch it.

By the way, how can I add an iTunes subscribe button for my videos?

Thanks!

No help. I was excited about your posting, since small files seem to make the trip just fine. But the php.ini file shows a max of 100 megs. I'm not positive I know the dividing line, but small published results work fine, but the last I checked was 7-8 meg, and it didn't.

Again, direct upload into Mediacenter works fine for this files, it's just the Inwicast client publishing routine which fails. We're running a WAMP install...is there another limit somewhere I can look at?

Thanks for your help!

Fabrice:
       I've been away from the forum for a bit. I haven't pushed hard against this, since the upload procedure works OK. But I'd still love to have a functioning Inwicast Publisher client, and I'm reading others here that it works normally for them.
       We've just upgraded to Moodle 1.9.4, and the Mediacenter block works just great. However, the Publisher client is still being a problem. It works sporadically, but not consistently. Again, it always uploads everything consistently except for the video itself. You can look at the server directory, and all files are present, even the video...but the video itself is an empty file, and the player just sits there and spins.
       Where should we start? Thanks.
