Hello Alastair! It already support completion 'on view', meaning that an activity becomes marked complete as soon as a user clicks on it.

More complicated logic might be possible with adding custom completion rules to module that would make extra Panopot API query to UsageReporting.GetSessionUserExtendedDetailedUsage (e.g. to determine what proportion of video has been viewed, how many attempts to view has been made, etc.) and draw completion result from this data (matching it with some completion criteria, e.g. n% of video has been viewed). This is not currently implemented, but possible to develop.

Is there any feasibility of including an activity completion setting based on whether a given video has been viewed?

Hello Nikolai, This plugin was designed as replacement of block_panopto, which did not provide features we needed at that point. The main drawback of block plugin was a management burden it added for publishers to allocate videos to course folders on panopto site (which lead to a numerous copies of same video across Panopto site and extra effort to make it accessible in the course). This plugin resolved this by allocating viewing permissions directly to video on demand (i.e. same video can be used at multiple courses without need to copy to specific folder), needless to say it respects all course features such as group restriction in Moodle, completion, viewing rights to users who can access course via category permission rather than direct enrolment, etc (see plugin description on GitHub for full list).

Technically, both plugins can work together I suppose, but you would still need to maintain video allocation the old way (i.e. put them in the course folders to make them appear in the block). This can be confusing and make permissions not intuitive (e.g. if you remove video from course folder in Panopto, but it remain as activity, people would still be able to view it, or for example of same video is in course folder on Panopto and used in Moodle activity restricted to course group, everyone enrolled in the course will be able to view it, so group restriction will not apply). What is your reasoning behind the need of using both plugins? If you only need a block that will show all Panopto videos used in the course (that were added as activity modules), it is easier to develop a block plugin that will simply list them (and will respect current user permissions as well, i.e. will not list videos restricted to course groups that user has no access).

If you want to discuss more, please create a ticket for this plugin on bug tracker (see URL in description above).

Hi,
has anybody tried using both this plugin as well as the official block_panopto Plugin on the same moodle instance? If so does it work seamlessly or did you experience any problems?
Thanks in advance!
