Public bug reported: As reported on the Debian tracker, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591200, we do not ship the source for the flash player we use in the internalmedia blocktype.
That video player comes from Moodle and is normally proprietary (http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/), but Moodle got permission to distribute a version of it under the GPL: http://git.moodle.org/gw?p=moodle.git;a=blob;f=filter/mediaplugin/flvplayer.README.txt;hb=cvshead Eventually, we won't need flash to play audio and video in browsers (thanks to HTML5) but for now we need it and so I propose to replace our old player with a modern one that's becoming quite popular out there: http://flowplayer.org/ It's in active development, is unambiguously under the GPL, comes with corresponding source and claims to support iPads and iPods for example. ** Affects: mahara Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Replace flash-based video player https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626624 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
