Moodle plugins directory: UbiCast MediaServer Moodle activity plugin

Copyright: UbiCast (https://www.ubicast.eu)
License: https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL v3 or later

Description:

    This Moodle activity module allows users to add media or channels from a UbiCast MediaServer in their courses.
    They can also edit media directly from Moodle without having to go on the MediaServer site.

Dependencies:

• Moodle >= 3.0 with mod_lti (external tool).
• A UbiCast MediaServer web site (version >= 8.1). Visit https://www.ubicast.eu/en/solutions/delivery/ to ask for a trial.
• Cookies must be allowed for the MediaServer web site (see note below).

Important note about cookies:

In order to make the LTI authentication work, MediaServer needs cookies usage. If your MediaServer is using a domain totally different from your Moodle domain, cookies will probably get blocked by browsers because they will be classified as third party cookies. To avoid MediaServer cookies to be considered as third party cookies, we recommend to use a sub domain for MediaServer using the same top domain as the Moodle site (for example, if your Moodle uses moodle.yourdomain.com as domain, you can use mediaserver.yourdomain.com as MediaServer domain). It is also possible to allow third party cookies usage in the browser settings.
