Member Function Documentation

◆ add_attributes()

static core_media_player_native::add_attributes	(		$tag,
			$attributes )

static

Adds attributes to the media tags.

Parameters

string	$tag	html tag which properties are extracted, for example "<video ...>....</video>"
array	$attributes	key-value pairs of attributes to be added

Return values

string

◆ compare_by_rank()

static core_media_player::compare_by_rank ( )

staticinherited

Deprecated: since Moodle 3.2

◆ embed()

core_media_player::embed	(	$urls,
		$name,
		$width,
		$height,
		$options )

abstractinherited

Generates code required to embed the player.

The returned code contains a placeholder comment '' (constant core_media_player\PLACEHOLDER) which indicates the location where fallback content should be placed in the event that this type of player is not supported by user browser.

The $urls parameter includes one or more alternative media formats that are supported by this player. It does not include formats that aren't supported (see list_supported_urls).

The $options array contains key-value pairs. See OPTION_xx constants for documentation of standard option(s).

Parameters

array	$urls	URLs of media files
string	$name	Display name; '' to use default
int	$width	Optional width; 0 to use default
int	$height	Optional height; 0 to use default
array	$options	Options array

Return values

string HTML code for embed

Reimplemented in core_media_player_external, media_html5audio_plugin, media_html5video_plugin, and media_videojs_plugin.

◆ get_attribute()

static core_media_player_native::get_attribute	(	$tag,
		$attrname,
		$type = PARAM_RAW )

static

Extracts a value for an attribute.

Parameters

string	$tag	html tag which properties are extracted, for example "<video ...>....</video>"
string	$attrname	name of the attribute we are looking for
string	$type	one of PARAM_* constants to clean the attribute value

Return values

string|null

◆ get_embeddable_markers()

core_media_player::get_embeddable_markers ( )

inherited

Lists keywords that must be included in a url that can be embedded with this player.

Any such keywords should be added to the array.

For example if this player supports FLV and F4V files then it should add '.flv' and '.f4v' to the array. (The check is not case-sensitive.)

Default handling calls the get_supported_extensions function, so players only need to override this if they don't implement get_supported_extensions.

This is used to improve performance when matching links in the media filter.

Return values

array Array of keywords to add to the embeddable markers list

Reimplemented in media_videojs_plugin, media_vimeo_plugin, and media_youtube_plugin.

◆ get_name()

core_media_player::get_name	(		$name,
			$urls )

protectedinherited

Obtains suitable name for media.

Uses specified name if there is one, otherwise makes one up.

Parameters

string	$name	User-specified name ('' if none)
array	$urls	Array of moodle_url used to make up name

Return values

string Name

◆ get_rank()

core_media_player::get_rank ( )

abstractinherited

Gets the ranking of this player.

This is an integer used to decide which player to use (after applying other considerations such as which ones the user has disabled).

This function returns the default rank that can be adjusted by the administrator on the Manage media players page.

Return values

int	Rank (higher is better)

Reimplemented in media_html5audio_plugin, media_html5video_plugin, media_videojs_plugin, media_vimeo_plugin, and media_youtube_plugin.

◆ get_supported_extensions()

core_media_player_native::get_supported_extensions ( )

Gets the list of file extensions supported by this media player.

Note: This is only required for the default implementations of list_supported_urls(), get_embeddable_markers() and supports(). If you override these functions to determine supported URLs in some way other than by extension, then this function is not necessary.

Return values

array Array of strings (extension not including dot e.g. '.mp3')

Reimplemented from core_media_player.

Reimplemented in media_html5audio_plugin, media_html5video_plugin, and media_videojs_plugin.

◆ is_enabled()

core_media_player::is_enabled ( )

inherited

Deprecated: since Moodle 3.2

◆ list_supported_urls()

core_media_player_native::list_supported_urls	(	array	$urls,
		array	$options = array() )

Given a list of URLs, returns a reduced array containing only those URLs which are supported by this player.

(Empty if none.)

Parameters

array	$urls	Array of moodle_url
array	$options	Options (same as will be passed to embed)

Return values

array Array of supported moodle_url

Reimplemented from core_media_player.

Reimplemented in media_html5audio_plugin, media_html5video_plugin, and media_videojs_plugin.

◆ pick_video_size()

static core_media_player::pick_video_size	(	&	$width,
		&	$height )

staticprotectedinherited

Utility function that sets width and height to defaults if not specified as a parameter to the function (will be specified either if, (a) the calling code passed it, or (b) the URL included it).

Parameters

int	$width	Width passed to function (updated with final value)
int	$height	Height passed to function (updated with final value)

Reimplemented in media_html5video_plugin, and media_videojs_plugin.

◆ remove_attributes()

static core_media_player_native::remove_attributes	(		$tag,
			$attrname )

static

Removes an attribute from the media tags.

Parameters

string	$tag	html tag which properties are extracted, for example "<video ...>....</video>"
string \| array	$attrname

Return values

string

◆ replace_sources()

static core_media_player_native::replace_sources	(		$tag,
			$sources )

static

Replaces all embedded <source> tags and src attribute.

Parameters

string	$tag	html tag which properties are extracted, for example "<video ...>....</video>"
string	$sources	replacement string (expected to contain <source> tags)

Return values

string

◆ setup()

core_media_player::setup ( $page )

inherited

Setup page requirements.

The typical javascript requirements MUST not take action on the content directly. They are meant to load the required libraries and listen to events in order to know when to take action. The role of this method is not to provide a way for plugins to look for content to embed on the page. The self::embed() method is meant to be used for that.

Parameters

moodle_page $page The page we are going to add requirements to.

Since: Moodle 3.2

Reimplemented in media_videojs_plugin.

◆ supports()

core_media_player::supports ( $usedextensions = [] )

inherited

Returns human-readable string of supported file/link types for the "Manage media players" page.

Parameters

array $usedextensions extensions that should NOT be highlighted

Return values

string

Reimplemented in media_videojs_plugin.

Member Data Documentation

◆ LINKPLACEHOLDER

const core_media_player::LINKPLACEHOLDER = ''

inherited

Placeholder text used to indicate where the link fallback is placed.

No other players will apply to it but it will be converted to the link in the end (unless prevented by OPTION_NO_LINK).
