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.

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.

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

"just replace $module to $plugin in version.php in mod/videofile/version.php"
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?

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
