A **secure HTML5 video activity** for Moodle with **server-side seek and
playback-speed enforcement**, accurate segment-based progress tracking, and
first-class accessibility.

> Built for courses where watch-time is evidence — compliance training,
> micro-credentials, mandatory onboarding, flipped classrooms.

## Why this plugin

Moodle's built-in video embedding (via `mod_resource` or the URL filter) shows a
video. It doesn't tell you if the learner actually watched it. Skipping,
fast-forwarding, and tab-hiding all look like "watched".

`mod_modernvideoplayer` closes that gap:

- **Server-side enforcement.** Every seek and speed change is validated server
  side against a signed session token. Clients can't lie about watch state.
- **Segment-level progress.** Heartbeats record which intervals of the video
  were actually played, giving a real viewed-percentage — not the native
  `timeupdate` approximation.
- **Real completion.** Native Moodle completion rule "watched ≥ X%" and a
  matching availability condition for downstream activities.

## Features (Free / Community Edition)

Everything below is in the free GPL build — no license key, no upsell wall.

### Playback & player UI
- HTML5 `<video>` player with play / pause / mute / volume / fullscreen
- Picture-in-Picture toggle (opt-in per activity, auto-disabled in Focus Mode)
- Poster image, configurable primary/secondary navigation toggles,
  title position, right-blocks toggle, course-index toggle
- **Autoplay modes**: off / muted / unmuted (with muted fallback when the
  browser blocks sound)
- Uploaded video via Moodle File API and repository-backed file picker
- Learner-facing **playback-speed menu** with admin-configurable maximum
- **Keyboard shortcuts**: space, arrows, `J`/`K`/`L`, `M`, `F`, digit-seek
  (all gated by Focus Mode)
- Resume from last known position
- Theme-aware, RTL-ready, responsive, accessible controls (ARIA, focus rings)

### Captions, transcript & chapters
- VTT captions with default-language selector
- **Transcript panel** with click-to-seek cues
- **Transcript download** button (opt-in per activity) — exports a timestamped
  `.txt` file named from the activity
- Chapter / timeline markers

### Focus Mode enforcement (v0.10.0)
- Per-activity `enforcefocus` toggle + admin default
- Disables Picture-in-Picture
- Suppresses seek keyboard shortcuts (arrows, `J`/`L`, `<`/`>`, digit keys)
- Auto-pauses playback when the browser tab is hidden
- Picture-in-Picture and transcript download each have independent opt-in
  toggles (`allowpip`, `allowtranscriptdownload`)

### Integrity (the differentiator)
- Signed per-session tokens per user + activity
- Server-side **seek validation** with configurable tolerance
- Server-side **playback-speed enforcement** (allow / deny)
- Heartbeat grace seconds + strict end-of-video validation
- Suspicious-event counters surfaced in the instructor report

### Progress & completion
- Heartbeat + **segment tracking** → accurate viewed-percentage (not native
  `timeupdate` approximation)
- Custom completion rule: **watched at least N %** (v0.7.0)
- Optional completion rule: **require validated video ending**
- Availability condition to gate downstream activities on watch progress
- Moodle activity completion integration using validated playback state

### Gradebook integration (v0.8.0)
- Activity grade item driven by watched-percentage
- `grade_update()` hook, `grade_item_update`, scale/point support
- Honours Moodle's grade category, pass mark, and grade locking

### Learner bookmarks (v0.9.0)
- Per-learner timestamped bookmarks with optional labels
- AJAX external services: `mod_modernvideoplayer_add_bookmark`,
  `list_bookmarks`, `delete_bookmark`
- Bookmarks are purged automatically when the instance is deleted

### Reporting
- Per-activity learner report (progress, flags, last-seen, total watched)
- CSV export
- Moodle events: `progress_updated`, `completion_achieved`,
  `suspicious_seek_detected`, `bookmark_created`, `bookmark_deleted` — plug
  straight into your LRS / data warehouse

### Privacy & compliance (v0.5.0)
- Full Moodle Privacy API provider
- GDPR subject-access **export** and **delete** for all user-authored data
  (sessions, progress, suspicious flags, bookmarks)
- No external network calls, no tracking pixels

### Platform hygiene
- Full **backup & restore** (user data, instance config, bookmarks)
- Mustache templates, AMD modules (Rollup-built, ESLint-clean)
- Site-wide admin defaults for every instance-level setting
- Internationalisation scaffold (English bundled; all strings externalised)

> **Moodle App (mobile) support** is on the roadmap but is not yet shipped.
> The activity currently renders correctly in mobile browsers, but a dedicated
> `db/mobile.php` remote-addons bundle is not included in this release.

### Quality bar
- **48 PHPUnit tests / 129 assertions** for defaults, completion rules, gradebook writeback,
  bookmarks CRUD + ownership, privacy export/delete, and Focus Mode fields
- Behat scenarios for activity creation and Focus Mode settings
- GitHub Actions workflows for build and automated test runs
- Moodle coding-style and release validation should be run before packaging a
  repository submission

## Requirements

- Moodle **4.5+** or **5.0+**
- PHP **8.1+**
- Modern browser with HTML5 video support

## Install

### Via Moodle admin UI (recommended)

1. Download the latest release ZIP from the [Releases page](https://github.com/adebareshowemimo/mod_modernvideoplayer/releases).
2. In Moodle, go to **Site administration → Plugins → Install plugins**.
3. Drop the ZIP into the uploader.
4. Confirm the plugin details and click **Install**. Run the upgrade.

### Via git

```bash
cd /path/to/moodle/mod
git clone https://github.com/adebareshowemimo/mod_modernvideoplayer.git
# Then from Moodle root:
php admin/cli/upgrade.php
```

## Configuration

Site administration → Plugins → Activity modules → **Modern video player**.
You can set site-wide defaults for:

- Default autoplay mode (off / muted / unmuted)
- Fullscreen enabled by default
- Playback speed allowed
- Seek tolerance (seconds)
- Completion threshold (%)
- Focused-view navigation and drawer defaults

## Instructor usage

1. Turn editing on in a course.
2. **Add an activity or resource → Modern video player**.
3. Upload a video file from your computer or Moodle file picker.
4. Configure playback, enforcement, completion, and navigation/drawer settings as needed.
5. Set completion rule (for example watched ≥ 80% and/or validated ending) and save.

Learners get a clean player; instructors get a report at
*Course → Activity → Report*.

## Development

```bash
# AMD build
cd /path/to/moodle
npx grunt amd --root=mod/modernvideoplayer

# Unit tests
vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite mod_modernvideoplayer_testsuite

# Behat (requires behat init)
vendor/bin/behat --tags=@mod_modernvideoplayer
```
