h5p / h5p-video Goto Github PK

Hi,

not sure, if this is the right place, but posting on H5P.org yielded no answers of the dev team.

Problem summary: vimeo video with embedded protection to a domain on, does not load on iOs in H5P

General info: We use vimeo as our video service. To protect our videos we have the vimeo "domain protection" set to only our domain. This allows our videos to be played back only if they are on our domain.

Used software/integration: We use wordpress. Under the H5P plugin (in wordpress) we create interactive video and then set the link (i.e. https://vimeo.com/000000000 - this number is just an example ) unter "Youtube-Link or other video-URL".
We then use the shortcode in a Gutenberg shortcode block.

Vimeo video tested without H5P (with embedding set to "everywhere" and also tested with set to "specific domain"): All works fine across all platforms (widows, android, iOS), if the protected videos are embedded only in wordpress directly.

Found behavior: The issue starts, when using H5P interactive video that is set to "specific domain" (using "everywhere" within H5P works perfectly fine across all plattforms). The H5P interactive video with embedded vimeo content, limited to "specific domain" works perfectly on windows (chrome, firefox) and also on android (chrome, firefox). But on tested apple devices (iPads, iPhones - Safari and Chrome) we found that when the domain protection is on the video is not loaded stating "video could not be loaded".

Expected behavior: Independent of windows/android/apple, videos with "embed restriction" should play even when within H5P also on iOs devices.

Tried solutions: When embedding protection is turned off, videos within H5P play just fine on iOs

Contacted providers: We wrote with vimeo, thinking that might be an issue with them, but their statement after checking with second level support is, that this issue is due to H5P and not vimeo, adding:

"It's also worth noting that Vimeo's privacy settings and custom embed settings do not apply to third-party player links. The third-party player you're using might support its own set of customizations, but you will need to check out their support documentation for more info. To learn more, visit our help center article here."

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Hello H5P team,
Please see if you can add this feature request to your list, as it will help many of us get a better understanding with what is going on at the user's side while watching videos.

The video vocabulary of the xAPI was created to identify and standardize common video interactions that can be tracked.

Vimeo Pro lets you access the underlying mp4 file directly.

Regular Vimeo lets you embed a file through an iframe. I would like it H5P supported regular Vimeo.

You can control Vimeo videos using their javascript API - pretty similar to the methods you get access to through the YouTube javascript API.

The Vimeo player code is here: https://github.com/vimeo/player.js/.

You get methods for reading the duration, getting/setting the cue point, events for buffering, playback rate etc.

You would have the same limitations as the YouTube iframe player (e.g. any popovers or interface elements that appear you have no control over).

I have set the php.ini to be 300MB and the post size to 600MB and when I try to upload a video more than 120MB I got the error.

At Echo360 (https://echo360.com/) we have been asked by our customers to allow videos captured in our EchoVideo platform to be able to be included in H5P content. We have added these features in our test environment and we intend to release them generally at the end of the year.

For this feature to be implemented it will require small changes h5p-video and the h5p-editor-php-library inline with the other supported video platforms.

It would be nice to add support for peertube video which is an opensource decentralised video platform that is slowly growing (for exemple, France is beta testing an instance for it's teachers).

It does have an api : https://docs.joinpeertube.org/#/api-embed-player

The difficulty is as it's decentralised, there is no way to know from the url that the video is on a peertube instance.
