Mobile app and Wowza Streaming Engine

by Payman Zafar.  

Hi all,

I have a Wowza streaming server, along with Moodle 3.5 on Windows 2012 R2 server.

I need to add streaming video to courses.  The video are played  on PC, but the videos are not played on Moodle mobile app.

The video URLs are like :

http://www.exmaple.com/vod/_definst_/PAE/video.mp4/playlist.m3u8

I added an URL activity with the above address without success. It tries to download the playlist.m3u8 file.

I added an URL activity, and used a VideoJS sample index file. It works on PC, but on mobile app it opens a browser which is not good. The same happened with a JWplayer index file.

I added a page activity, and used a VideoJS embed code. It works on PC, but on mobile app it only shows the title section in the HTML code.

I also installed Moodle JWPlayer plugin, and set it up in self-hosted mode. Move it to the top in media player plugins. again it works on PC, but on mobile it only shows the manifest.mpd or playlist.m3u8 which is the last part in Wowza URLs.

Please help.

Hi Pradeep,

I am trying to setup Wowza streaming engine with Moodle mobile app, but there was no success. Video plays on PC, but not on mobile app. Would you please tell me how you have configured it with your streaming server?

Are you using VideoJS player?

What is the embed code you are using?

The Apple Review Board apparently doesn't like Moodle Mobile's camera permission request string and use of background audio

So we have a lightly customized version of Moodle Mobile that we've been using for about 6 months without issue. But we must have gotten a particularly grumpy reviewer for our latest update, since they're rejecting our app based on parts of it that are the same as stock Moodle Mobile.

First, they didn't like the string Moodle Mobile uses when requesting to use the camera. I've got the same string as stock Moodle Mobile: "We'd like to access your camera to let you take a photo". Personally I think it's pretty obvious what we want the camera for if the user clicks the "edit" button next to their blank profile picture and then selects "Camera" from the "New Picture" dropdown, but apparently Apple disagrees, because they said

Regarding your app’s permission modal alert, the purpose of accessing the user’s camera must be stated within the modal alert.

To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to revise the permission modal alert to specify why the app is requesting access to the user's camera.

So I updated the string to say "We'd like to access your camera to let you take a photo to use as your profile picture". This works for us because the only time our customized app accesses the camera is when uploading a profile picture, since we got rid of the "My Files" section that allowed you to use the camera to upload photos to your private files. I have no idea what we'll do if we re-enable that feature.


Next, Apple had an issue with the app's use of background audio. I think this comes from the plugin nl.kingsquare.cordova.background-audio which stock Moodle Mobile includes by default. The plugin's description says:

Support an iOS application playing audio in the background.

When included within a cordova build then the application will support background audio for iOS out of the box. No further action is necessary.

Anyway, Apple had this to say about it:

We have started the review of your app, but we are not able to continue because we need access to a video that demonstrates the current version of your app in use on a physical iOS device.

Specifically, since your app declares support for audioin the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist, please demonstrate the background audio feature(s) while the app is running in the background.

Please ensure the video you provide shows a physical iOS device (not a simulator).

...which seems pretty excessive to me. But what can you do?


Just thought I'd give a heads up to the Moodle team and anyone else who wants a speedy review.

Actually, I had some trouble getting audio to play in the background in the app. I thought it was supposed to work when I embedded it in HTML (using the "add media" button), but that always faded out on iOS when the app was minimized. The only way I could do it was by adding the MP3 as a file resource and then downloading it fully by clicking the cloud button.

We uploaded the video, but they've rejected us again.

We found that your app records or detects audible content for an indefinite or extended period of time while your app is running in the background.

Next Steps

The audio key is intended for use by apps that provide audible content to the user while in the background, such as music player or streaming audio apps. Please revise your app to provide audible content to the user while the app is in the background or remove the "audio" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key.

Exactly what part of the app is causing them to say it's recording or detecting audio in the background? We've only made minor cosmetic customizations, and have changed nothing related to the recording or playing of audio.

Dear Moodle Community

I am wondering if the anyone had experience using MS office 365 integration and Azure platform as a sign on to their Moodle site? If so will the mobile App work with such configuration?

Thanks

Hello Juan,

I'm really looking forward to the release of the Mobile app! 

Earlier today I was testing the latest integrated code on the web version and noticed that audio players in the choice fields of multiple choice questions no longer play. I was wondering if the tracker issue MOBILE-1709 is once again affecting the Moodle Mobile app?

Hello Samuel and Gaurava,

This week I had the same problem and after talking with the mobile team, I was able to investigate more and, finally, I take these steps to find the solution:

I run my Android SDK Manager and see what exactly is my version of "Android SDK Build-Tools" and I specify this at the end of the file platforms/android/build.gradle :

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
}

After finding the solution I informed the mobile team And Dani has added it to the wiki:

https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Setting_up_your_development_environment_for_Moodle_Mobile_2#ERROR:_In_.3Cdeclare-styleable.3E_FontFamilyFont.2C_unable_to_find_attribute_android:font

Regards.

Hello Grayson,
I had the same problem with the fonts I take these steps to find the solution:

I run my Android SDK Manager and see what exactly is my version of "Android SDK Build-Tools" and I specify this at the end of the file platforms/android/build.gradle :

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
}

After finding the solution I have reported it and it is already in the Wiki:

In the end we removed the plugin nl.kingsquare.cordova.background-audio

Any devs have insight into why Apple might have taken issue with an app using this for background audio?

Finally I found the solution.
I made an index.html file and put the required JWPlayer JavaScript inside it. Then I used an iframe, and put this index file inside it. Here is the sample iframe code:

<div style="position:relative; padding-bottom:56.25%; overflow:hidden;">
<iframe src="https://example.com/index.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen style="position:absolute;"></iframe></div>

Now the video is played back both on PC, and inside the mobile app.

Patrick,

I believe that what you are describing is the same thing I referred to in this post. I hadn't made the connection between this behavior and mp3 or video files, but it does make sense. What you describe seems to involve the lesson module, but I've observed the same thing in quizzes. In my case, I first noticed this behavior after an ios update. I keep hoping that subsequent updates will fix the problem, but so far no luck...

I solved the above problem.

After executing "git checkout 3.5.0" the following folders are deleted from the package folder:

e2e , hooks , scss ,www

And these folders are added : config, src

I built the app without "git checkout 3.5.0". It shows the default Moodle app icon on mobile display, but it only displays a white page.
