Best way to embed Vimeo in authoring tool?

Dear all,

 

the authoring tool is very nice, however, I'm a little stuck embedding videos from an external service such as Vimeo.

Using the media component, adding anything there will just show the player but not load the video (in fact, the player shows the video area as a black space and indicates 00:00 total length)

I've tried variations of : player.vimeo.com/video/XXXXX, //player.vimeo.com/video/XXXX, etc

The suggestion in :
https://community.adaptlearning.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=490&parent=2263

to use
http://player.vimeo.com/external/32430473.hd.mp4

or
http://player.vimeo.com/external/32430473.hd.mp4?s=32430473

(random example from vimeo) doesn't work in the browser and results in an error message from vimeo.

The only way I managed to get this to work (in the authoring tool) so far is to use the 
text component and use:

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://vimeo.com/32430473">Time Lapse From Space - Literally. The Journey Home.</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/fragileoasis">Fragile Oasis</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
 
in the text body of the page.
 
How can I do this better ?
I've also run
adapt install adapt-contrib-media
just to make sure which completes without error.
 
 
Many thanks
best wishes
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,

 

Have you tried the responsive iFrame? https://github.com/cgkineo/adapt-iframe

Hi Helen,

 

 

uh, this is probably going to be a very newbie question.. but how do I install it?

Trying to follow: https://github.com/cgkineo/adapt-iframe
I tried:

kerzel@UlisUbuntuVM:~$ adapt install adapt-contrib-iframe
Oh dear, something went wrong. I'm terribly sorry. Package adapt-contrib-iframe not found

 

Using adapt search I don't see this package either. How do I get it into the system?

 

Apologies if  this is really a basic question..

 

Best wishes

Ulrich

Hmmm actually I think i used the Learning Pool one :

Go to https://github.com/LearningPool/adapt-contrib-responsiveIframe

Use the download Zip button on the right.

Go to the menu of the Authoring Tool > Plugin management

Click Upload Plugin

Navigate to your downloaded zip and upload this file

If successful you can pick Responsive iFrame as a new component in a block.

 

Hope that helps!

Helen
