IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PLUGIN ARCHIVE AVAILABILITY : due to the large amount of plugins supported, it is NOT supportable for us to update moodle.org packages. Please use the Source Control urls to our github to get plugins archives.
The Media Player plugin activity module for Moodle is a UI tool to deploy the JW FLV Player 5.0 in Moodle.
It does the following:
Deploys FLV, MOV, MP4, F4V and other web video formats and supports H.264 AVC
Supports a range of plugins and manages their settings to make using the Media Player module as easy as possible
Supports playlists and other media types such as MP3, JPG, GIF, PNG and SWF
Can play video directly from YouTube.com, Ted.com and any sites that have the necessary crossdomain.xml policy file in place
Can be used with media servers and a variety of types of media streaming
Comes with a wide selection of UI skins to change the visual appearance of the player
Basic video playback on operating systems where Flash Player is not supported, i.e. iOS - iPhone, iPad, iPod.

i was just thinking the 'mplayer' usage here was referencing http://www.mplayerhq.hu but i'm not sure, does it?
I'm currently developing the SWF Activity Module for Moodle 2.5+: https://github.com/matbury/SWF-Activity-Module2.5 which will also support media playback functions. It can support a number of popular Flash based media players and comes with JW Player 5 (as used in the Media Player module) and the free and open source Strobe Media Player (SMP).
See some demos of SMP here: http://matbury.com/strobe/
Demos of the SWF Activity Module for Moodle 2.5+ are here: http://m2.matbury.com/course/view.php?id=3
The project is still in beta so please let me know what you'd like to do with it and If there's any changes you think would make the module more useful, and I'll see what I can do.
Cheers! Matt
When do you think this release would be available?
Thanks,
Vinay
I'm still getting feedback and making changes. When I think that it's in a final enough state to release, I'll announce it on my blog: http://blog.matbury.com/ or if you have a Github.com account you can subscribe to updates on the repository.
All the best,
Matt
When can we expect to see a version of Media Player for Moodle 2.5+? Are you working on this module or you have abandoned it?
One more question - is it theoretically possible to install the current version of this plugin on a Moodle 2.5.3?
Best regards,
Aleksandar
The SWF Activity Module for Moodle 2.5+ plays videos using the same media player (JW Player) as well as the free and open source Strobe Media Player: https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_swf
It's still possible to upload video files via FTP, using the Moodle File System repository, so if your HTTP upload limit is set too low and you don't want to/can't change it, you can still upload them
Moodle 2.x isn't backwardly compatible with 1.9 plugins. Plugins require redevelopment.
I processed to a quick module upgrade to Moodle 2.x version here for a local customer of mine. Basically works fine, and processed to the essential mplayerfile handling conversion. I will probably refine a bit with a set of side features the immediate needs requires before pulling more budget on it. DO you want to get this code back ? (Core standards complying writing) cheers !
Does this plugin work with moodle 2.8?
Yes, of course you're welcome to take over development of this plugin
What do I have to do to pass it over to you?
Thanks for this plug-in.
I tried installing it in Moodle but this error returns :
Validating mod_mplayer ... Error
[Error] Unsupported syntax detected in version.php file [$module]
Installation aborted due to validation failure
If it wouldn't be too much to ask? How do I install it?
Thanks.
I think the way to do it is to add me as co-maintainer so i can add Moodle 2.X and 3.X versions to the plugin repo
Thanks !
