Hi Nellie,
I did see a similar problem on one of my sites. Do you have debugging turned on for that site? I think there is a PHP deprecation message that was interfering with the task. Disabling debugging allowed the task to complete.

Hi, I'm on a Moodle 5.2 new install. I keep getting:
"The task Download available H5P content types from h5p.org has failed multiple times and requires attention". I have older Moodle 5.2 sites where H5P is not failing. How do I fix this one? Is there a bug with the new Moodle installations and connecting the H5P library? Thank you for your help.

Hello,
I have a problem when uploading h5p content types. It appears "invalid H5P content type" and I am downloading it from https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_hvp

Besides, In sheduled tasks, I've got 240 "Fail delay" from "Download available H5P content types from h5p.org

Can someone help me?

Sushumna ad Cyber sec,
This is a free plugin that can be installed if you have access to a Moodle instance. Questions can then be used on that site or exported and imported to another. So your content is free to use as you want. There are additional features that are available on moodle.openlearner.org (more content and questions types). You can use those features on that site and export the results to use on your own sites free. Eventually features there may be released, but work is currently unfunded so it will not necessarily happen soon.

Cost? H5P, at least for some features, is astronomically expensive now. Do I have to pay H5P to use this?

Wonderful Plug in, thanks Daniel Thies. So, these questions are treated as any other core moodle questions while grading and marks allotment in quiz results?

if you just installed or upgraded Moodle 3.9, the scheduled task that downloads the available content types. Go that Admin settings -> Server -> Scheduled tasks, find the H5P task and edit the date time so it will run soon.

@Daniel. Ok I see it now. But, unfortunately, when I go to the content bank to create a H5P activity, I cannot click add, as it appears in the webpage's video that you recommended me, because it says "No content types available". So I still don't know how to add them.
Sorry for the trouble.

There are two different H5P activities. The documentation on h5p.org only applies to https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_hvp (icon with black background). If you are using the activity included with Moodle 3.9 (blue background), then you need to follow the moodle.org H5P documentation.

@Daniel, my problem is that when I create an H5p activity, I can't see the "Select content type" as appears in this webpage https://h5p.org/installation. And if I go to site administrations, plugins I can´t download it or add other content because I don't have Instal plugins as this web page say: https://h5p.org/moodle
Besides, I went to the page you sent me and there is not explanation for it, or at least I didn't see it.
Thanks in advance, again!

Hello, I recently created a new moodle site and when I tried to create H5P activities in Moodle, as I did before in other sites, I can't because it makes me use the content bank. is there a way in which I can create new H5P activities inside my moodle or I have to go to H5P webpage, create it there and use the content bank every time I want to create H5P activities?
Thanks in advance

@Erin, This board is for the specific plugin above. The general H5P forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=8603 is a good place to look for answers. Be sure to include your Moodle version and details about how you included H5P in Moodle.

Can you help me? I've selected that my H5P videos be graded in Moodle. However, they are not being graded. The grades are blank. Plaese help! I can't find a number for Moodle anywhere!
