MP3 player

The multimedia filter embeds MP3 files in a streaming player made with Flash e.g. Moodle Features Demo: MP3 file.

MP3 player rates

To ensure that MP3 files are played at the correct rate, sample rates of 11, 22 or 44 kHz should be used.

Flash security settings

Security changes in Flash player 7 may result in the MP3 player not playing MP3 files hosted on a remote server. This issue may be resolved by writing a cross-domain policy for the remote server and/or each user changing their global security settings in the Flash player settings manager.

Cross-domain policy

To create a cross-domain policy, save the code below as crossdomain.xml and place the file at the root of the remote server.

<cross-domain-policy>
   <allow-access-from domain="www.yourmoodlesite.org" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Please refer to Macromedia - Developer Center: Security Changes in Macromedia Flash Player 7 for further details.

Global security settings

Please refer to Macromedia - Flash Player Help: Global Privacy Settings Panel.
