Settings

The configuration settings for the Opencast Chunkupload plugin are divided into two parts: general plugin settings and auxiliary settings within the Opencast Videos block (block_opencast) plugin.

General settings:

The Opencast Chunkupload plugin provides several configurable options for administrators.

  1. Chunk size (MB): Defines the size (in MB) of each video file chunk to be uploaded.

  2. Duration until unused token is deleted: Specifies the time period after which unused upload tokens will be deleted automatically.

  3. Duration until uncompleted file upload is deleted: Specifies the duration after which incomplete file uploads will be removed.

  4. Duration until completed file upload is deleted: Sets the retention period for successfully uploaded files before they are automatically deleted as part of the cleanup process.

Auxiliary Settings in Opencast Videos Block Plugin

When the Chunkupload plugin is installed, the Opencast Videos block plugin (block_opencast) automatically includes a dedicated settings section under the Additional features section. This section, titled “Settings for the chunkuploader”, allows administrators to control Chunkupload functionality within the block plugin.

  1. Enable Chunkupload: Enables or disables the ability to upload videos using the chunkupload plugin.

  2. Video file size limitation mode: Determines whether to enforce a file size limit. If “Limited video size” is selected, the administrator can define the limit in the subsequent setting.

  3. Video size limit: Specifies the maximum allowed video file size if the limitation mode is enabled.

  1. Offer filepicker as alternative: If enabled, users can choose to use the regular Moodle file picker instead of the chunkupload functionality via a checkbox.
