Moodle Live Video Streaming

Before installing, make sure your hosting environment meets all requirements.

1. If you're not hosting RTMP with us go to RTMP Application Setup for installation details.
2. Download the zip file and unzip it to your moodle/mod directory. To verify everything is in the right location, see if you have mod/livestreaming/README.txt .
3. Moodle 3.0 requires $module replaced with $plugin (ex. $plugin->version) in version.php from module folder, to allow installation. Older Moodle works with $module (ex. $module->version).
   
4. In your browser, go to your Moodle site, login as administrator
   Then from menu go to Site Administration > Notifications
   Click [Upgrade] button from page bottom
   Click [Continue]
5. Fill your RTMP Address (obtained at first step) and click [Save]

To edit activity module settings you will need to be logged in with an administrator account:

1. From menu go to Site Administration > Plugins > Activity Modules > Live Video Streaming
2. Edit module settings (applies site wide to all activities):
   RTMP Server
   RTMP AMF
   Max Camera Bandwidth
   Buffer Live
   Buffer Full
   Buffer Live Playback
   Buffer Full PlaybackDisable Bandwidth Detectiontion

Here is how to remove Moodle module if you wish to uninstall or install a more recent version (upgrade):

1. Access from menu: Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Manage activities (or Administration > Modules > Activities in versions of Moodle prior to 1.9).
2. Click on delete next to the module you wish to remove.
3. Use a file manager to remove/delete the actual module directory from moodle/mod, otherwise Moodle will reinstall it next time you access the site administration.
4. If you wish to upgrade, after removal just follow installation instructions to install the new version.

The Moodle integration is based on a slightly modified php live streaming edition so you can also check that for customizing settings, integration and implementation of other features.
