moodle-local_och5p

This local plugin helps to integrate Opencast Video into the Moodle H5P Plugin (mod_hvp). The main purpose of this plugin is to make it possible for the teachers to select Opencast Video from within the H5P Editor when using H5P Interactive Videos feature. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to customize Moodle H5P Plugin (mod_hvp), which is only possible through extending a theme in Moodle Moodle Customization. This plugin is designed to overwrite the renderer.php and config.php files of the selected themes and append the necessary codes into these files. This design helps to adapt every installed themes instead of only extending a specific theme. Using this integration now enables teachers to select opencast videos in a course, using a dropdown inside the H5P Interactive Videos' editor in a course. After selecting the opencast video, another dropdown will be shown to select different types of video flavor (Presenter/Presentation). By selecting the video flavor all available qualities of the video then will be inserted into H5P Editor videos list and the rest will be processed by H5P.

Opencast configuration for multiple nodes setups:

If you use a constellation of opencast nodes, one for admin and another for presentation (i.e. engage node) it is important that your moodle user account in opentcast has the role that makes the services endpoint available. It is by default (and based on experience) included in the "ROLE_GROUP_MH_DEFAULT_ORG_SYSTEM_ADMINS" role.
