I have a working moodle 2.62 with media filters Streaming, media filter (RTMP)turned on working accessing files to stream from Red5 server and allows files to be streamed from the red 5 server URL../oflaDemo/streams/ and any sub-directory i create, for the past 4 years. But when i have upgraded to moodle 3.2 with JW Player media_jwplayer enabled and player and files downloaded, installed and working but now it only allows files to be played from the red 5 server URL../oflaDemo directory and not anything under that point, it act like it isnt seeing anything past that point. Nothing has be changed on the Red5 server and it still works with the moodle 2.6.2 server.

@Mr. Mark, you link requires stream prefix to work, e.g. rtmp://red5.iowacentral.edu/oflaDemo/mp4:autovideos/WasteSparkCoilTesting.mp4

Hi 文勇马, make sure you unpacked to correct location (./media/player/jwplayer/jwplayer directory). Check that this directory contains jwplayer.js file and also make sure you are using version 7 and not 8. Hope this helps.

Hi, is there a version of JW Player coming for Moodle 3.7+?

Latest version should work for 3.7 with no issues. If I have a chance, I will bump version to make it look compatible (there are lots of pending contributions as well). It will still be JW7, JW8 not supported yet (see ticket on the plugin repo tracker explaining the changes).

Thank you for a great plugin! Is it possible to add the slow motion feature to the video player controls using this plugin?

Hi Michele, yes API allows that functionality, but this feature is not implemented in this plugin. Feel free to submit request on plugin issue tracker.

Does the moodle plugin allow for access to the player libraries on one's JW player account? Thanks

Hi Hillel, yes, when you select "cloud hosting mode" it is using libraries from JWPlayer CDN. But if you talk about JWPlayer feature when you configure the player layout and settings in your account and use anywhere - this is not supported.

Hello - I just received notification the JW Player is depreciating version 7 on October 15, 2020. Will this plugin no longer work in cloud-hosted mode? I'm not sure where to download the JW Player zip for self-hosted mode because our license key is outdated.

Hello Michelle, I don't know if plugin will be available in cloud hosted mode. The latest 7.x source code is still available at JWPlayer official repository, but it needs to be built before you will be able to use it locally: https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer/releases/tag/v7.12.10
