AutoView Presenter
AutoView presenter is a Lecture Capture module which allows you to put video on-line with synchronised slides and subtitles. A simple web based editing interface is used to configure the video/slide/subtitle sources and to set the slide trigger times.
This release introduces some major changes. All legacy plugin support, excepting Flash has been dropped, video sources configured to use legacy plugins will no longer be displayed, although they will continue to show in the editor as "Legacy Videos". Flash videos will continue to work as before. Support for HLS and DASH streaming has been incorporated, videos in these formats can be uploaded to the Course Files Area Repository using the Repository File Manager block (we recommend you upload as a single zip file and unzip on the server).
A basic content migration tool has been incorporated into the admin interface, which can be used to convert legacy video formats into HTML5 compatible videos, it is recommended to use this tool if you do not already have HTML5 video sources.
this entry is currently unapproved.
Should we keep it here as currently being worked on, delete it or consider putting it into the "Others" category if it still doesn't conform to plugin standards?
MDL-31636 is under way to improve those dates being displayed .
I've encountered issues that prevent me from using this plugin upon installation and adding to a course (this doesn't break moodle however ):
- "The Repository File Manager block has not been installed. This is required to use AutoView in Moodle 2.x with internal file storage."
- "The Course File Area repository has not been installed. This is required to use AutoView in Moodle 2.x with internal file storage."
We'll need to append these to the dependencies to version.php in a way like so:
$plugin->dependencies = array('block_repo_filemanager' => ANY_VERSION, 'repository_coursefilearea' => xxxxxxxxxx );
This will streamline installation.
ps: i did note the use of $CFG within version.php causing some notices here too.
"The Course File Area repository has not been installed. This is required to use AutoView in Moodle 2.x with internal file storage."
and also a warning
Warning : No suitable XSL parser has been found. Please update your PHP installation with XSL support enabled. Please see the ReadMe file in the autoview module directory for more information on how to do this.
As the messages you are seeing state, you'll need some extras installed to get AutoView to work. You'll find the Course File Area Repository and the associated Repository File Manager block in the Plugins directory here, please install in the normal way.
The XSL parser will require you to upgrade your server software. XSL parsers are normally part of a standard PHP install, it's unusual for them to be missing these days, however if you read the readme file you'll find some instructions to help you inget this fixed.
Thank you very much. You saved my day. Got your message and i made some corrections in server file and XSL parser is enabled and it is working fine.
I got an doubt can we restrict some videos only to be viewed and not to be downloaded by the users using autoview is there any options available.
I dont know where to post it on forum so only i am posting it here.
Thank you very much for your support.
Please could you read this thread https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=252370 and see if there is a real issue with the plugin.
Cheers,
