Loading icon when embedding video via Moodle's page/book activity

[mwuttke]

Embedding an Opencast video in Moodle’s page or book activity leads to a permanent loading icon (circle).
Video can be started by clicking on it.
Further there is no navigation bar.
Layout functions as well as the playback speed do work although showing an error message when clicking on the „toggle video source“ button.

System used:
Opencast version: 10.11
Moodle version: 3.11
Moodle Plugins version: filter_opencast: v3.11-r3, repository_opencast: v3.11-r5
OS: macOS Catalina or Linux Mint
Updated browsers: (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) as of 8th of April 2022; FF in version 99

What mod_opencast version you are using?

I noticed a similar problem but not only for filter_opencast but mod_opencast too. And it makes sense because filter_opencast uses mod_opencast's code to show the player. And for me it happens only with videos with no audio track. Can you check if this applies to your problem as well?

If we are talking about the same issue: The bug was fixed with pull request Opencast-Moodle/moodle-mod_opencast#20 (commit 1cc23a0). The fixed code is not yet released as a new version.

@jojoob. Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately I somehow forgot your question. We are using the latest version of the mod and the filter plugin (the master branch). The error also occurs with videos with an audio track.

Hey Michael,

it seems my former colleague responsible for opencast plugin support never got around to answer you, I'm very sorry for that!

I couldn't reproduce the problem. Does it still occur for you? If so, could you list your current moodle, filter_opencast and mod_opencast versions? Are there any errors printed in the browser console? And does embedding within label/text and media area - activities work flawlessly?

Thank you very much!
Justus
