Adding the OpenMeeting Moodle Plugin

I am going assume  that you already have OpenMeeting installed and running. Before I started, I had OpenMeeting working from http://103.28.141.113:5080/openmeetings/

Check OpenMeeting Instance

I logged in and checked that OpenMeeting was working 

Login to OpenMeeting and Check

Next I went to the Moodle OpenMeetings download URL (https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=mod_openmeetings) and downloaded the plugin.

Download the OpenMeetings Moodle Plugin

After downloading, I extracted the contents. By default the a folder called openmeetings is created. I fired up Filezilla and logged on to the folder of my Moodle instance.

I copied the entire openmeetings folder to the /mod folder  (You could use any other FTP client or even use the browser to access using FTP and get this done)

Access the Moodle folder on server and copy openmeetings folder to /mod

 Once this was done, I logged in to the Moodle instance using my administrator login and password. If you have Moodle running already (as an admin) while copying the folder, you could logout and login again.

Moodle detects that a new plugin has been installed. I then clicked on the Update the Moodle database now button.

Click Update Moodle database now

Click Continue

After this, the Openmeetings plugin provides a screen to add the access credentials. Here I added my login and password for Openmeetings. The other fields I left as default since Openmeetings has a stock installation.

Add Login & Password, then click Save changes

After this, I tested to see whether I could include an Openmeetings as a module.

Note: OpenMeeting needs requisite server access to install. The process I described will work only once OpenMeeting has already been installed and tested and working.

Increase & Decrease Video Playback Speed in VLC Player

At times I speed through videos (like training videos) to absorb more in the same time.

In VLC, using the keyboard, you can press:

• + to increase the playback speed (i.e. vide plays faster that the normal frame rate)
• -  to decrease the playback speed  (i.e. vide plays slower that the normal frame rate)
• [  to decrease the playback speed in finer increments than pressing -
• ]  to increase the playback speed in finer increments than pressing +

Using the mouse you can:

• Click on the arrows on either side of the playback control slider. The one on the right side increases speed while the one on the left decreases the speed
• Right-click the speed label in the bottom menu of VLC to adjust the speed.
