Videofile is a Moodle 2.4+ resource plugin intended to provide teachers with easy handling of cross-browser compatible videos using Video.js. In most cases it should be enough to add .mp4 video files which will then play in an html5 player in modern browsers and in a flash player in older browsers.

Videofile and Video.js also supports WebVTT captions as well as a poster image that displays before the video is started. It works well with responsive themes.

    Hi Rhys,
    We recently updated from 2.5 to 2.9 and the Videofile activity is still working fine. Not sure about 3.0, though. If you have a test version of your site, you might try it out there first.

    We have it running successfully in 3.0 after upgrade from 2.7. Just had to edit the videofile\version.php file to change all instances of $module to $plugin.

    Ok, I used this a lot in my Moodle. worked really well. I have now upgraded to Moodle 3.02 and I had to remove it before I could do the upgrade as there was an error in the version.php

    Is there a Beta that I can use for Moodle 3 or is there a workaround?

    Its OK, should have read Neil Pollock's post, Maria you may want to check it as well. I opened up the version.php file in Notepad++ and just did a replace as Neil suggested. It made 8 replacements and it then installed just fine.

    Is it possible to add HLS streams with this plugin?

    Video.JS does have the ability to do them via the videojs.hls.min.js file. From my experience, there is a gotcha in that the HLS javascript file needs to be within the same domain as the page embedding the videoplayer.

    Am using videofile 2015061101 on moodle 3.0.3 (Build: 20160314).
    A course consists of sections, each of which contains a videofile, a quiz and an assigment.
    When logged in as an administrator, if I select to change role to an Authenticated User, who should not be able to see anything at all. I see all the videofiles but none of the quizzes and assignments. I have no special access restrictions set for ANY of the activities. So why am I seeing those videofiles where I should not? Any ideas?

    When you add multiple video files to a single resource, how does videofile decide which one to use? And, I presume that the links following, "Video not playing? Try..." are in the order of the files added, but showing only the file extensions does NOT help to disambiguate them.

    Hi,
    i'm using videofile in a Moodle 3.0 and the big problem is that the logs to the resource are not tracked...(as reported here --> https://github.com/lemonad/moodle-mod_videofile/issues/20).
    Any idea if this will be fixed or not?
    best regards

    Hello! I downloaded this, and was wondering how to use a URL link. I have many, many videos to use, but I don't want to bog down my moodledata folder with them.
