The FastPix Video Picker plugin (tiny_fastpix) adds an Insert FastPix Video button to Moodle's TinyMCE editor. Authors can browse or search their FastPix video library, select a video, and insert it into any Moodle rich-text field without manually copying playback IDs or shortcodes.

tiny_fastpix is the authoring component of the FastPix embedding workflow. It works alongside filter_fastpix, which renders embedded videos, and depends on local_fastpix, the foundation plugin that manages FastPix credentials, API communication, and asset metadata. Install local_fastpix, mod_fastpix, and filter_fastpix before installing this plugin.

Video authoring

• Adds an Insert FastPix Video button to every TinyMCE editor.
• Browse or search videos by activity name or asset title.
• Insert videos into forum posts, Pages, Book chapters, labels, course summaries, quiz feedback, and other rich-text content.
• Automatically inserts the correct FastPix shortcode at the cursor location.
• Supports both toolbar and editor menu access.

Video selection

• Displays only videos owned by the signed-in user.
• Lists only videos that are ready for playback.
• Excludes DRM-protected videos that require secure token-based playback.
• Shows the most recent videos first, with instant search capabilities.

Embedding workflow

• Works seamlessly with filter_fastpix to convert inserted shortcodes into playable FastPix video embeds.
• Uses the same FastPix player and permissions model as the FastPix Video activity.
• Allows multiple video embeds within a single content page.

Permissions and security

• Uses Moodle's existing mod/fastpix:uploadmedia capability to control access.
• All video lookups are performed through local_fastpix; the editor plugin never communicates directly with FastPix.
• Server-side filtering ensures users can only embed videos they own.

Administration

• Simple installation through the Moodle plugins Directory or ZIP upload.
• No additional configuration required after installation.
• Automatically registers with TinyMCE when enabled.

Limitations

• Supports TinyMCE only; Atto and other editors are not supported.
• Does not upload videos directly from the picker.
• Does not display DRM-protected videos.
• Requires filter_fastpix to render inserted shortcodes as video players.

Privacy

• Stores no personal data.
• Implements Moodle's Privacy API as a null provider.
• Delegates all FastPix communication and data handling to local_fastpix.
