Videofile is a Moodle 2.5+ resource plugin intended to provide teachers with easy handling of cross-browser compatible videos using Video.js.
Use
- In most cases it should be enough to add .mp4 video files, which will then play in an html5 player on most browsers and in a flash player in older browsers.
- You can add alternative formats in order to be sure it can play regardless of which browser is being used (usually .mp4, .ogv and .webm covers it.)
Captions
- Videofile and Video.js also support WebVTT captions.
- You can add several files in order to provide multilingual captions.
- The file names, without extensions, will be used for the video caption option titles.
- If the files are named according to ISO 6392 (e.g. eng.vtt and swe.vtt) the options will be shown as the corresponding full language names according to the user's language preferences (e.g. English and Swedish, assuming the user's preferred language is set to English).
Poster image
Videofile and Video.js also support a poster image that displays before the video is started.
