Hi team,

I wanted to check if there is any dependency on h5p.org (or other related sites) when using the Moodle plugin?

Amazing work on this guys.. Love your driving goals as well.. Just need to know technically if the plugin is self contained to the Moodle environment.

thanks,

Lorence

Hi Lorence,

The H5P plugin is self contained in the Moodle environment and the contents that you create in it. The only time that it actually communicates with the H5P hub/server is when checking an update which you can disable by disabling the H5P hub.

Hey all,

I`ve recently installed H5P in my Moodle and planning to use it to create interactive content.

Based on above question, H5P content is stored in our own server (not in any H5P servers), I have some questions in my mind.

1) How are those files stored in our moodle servers?

2) How can we locate these files, in h5p plugin folder, or in a separate folder?

3) For a video file, is it stored as .mp4 or .hvp? Or we have the raw video file stored separately and a configuration file with interactions in .hvp format?

4) And how is it for a video linked from Youtube, in our moodle server, do we have only a configuration file connected to the Youtube video?

Best regards,

Tansu

I'll try to answer as best as I can

1) We use the Moodle File API when storing the files, so they end up somewhere in the data directory set for Moodle.

2) You should use the same API when accessing the files to avoid any issues.

3) Uploaded video files are stored in the same API without any file conversion.

4) The link to the YouTube video is stored in the database together with the rest of the content.
