Dennis Zhang [03:53 PM]: Hi Tim,this Module sounds great and this can help us teachers very much,thank you!
Howvever,the following issue has not really been fixed yet, although it does not show 100% processor usage but when I edit the page some time,the IE stop working,I can not do any thing for a long time with the cursor screwing all the time!hope this will be fixed in next version.
By the way,my moodle version is 1.82 stable!

2) IE crash/100% processor usage when opening video/slide source editing windows has been fixed
Dennis Zhang [03:57 PM]: also, I can not log in my site after that even though I restart IE,can go to goole and other site well!Hope you can fix it soon!
Dennis Zhang [04:25 PM]: I found out the problem after serveral tries, when I try to add a .rm file and choose the format real player format, the IE will freeze.however,If I choose the format Windows Media Player, it works after some time when it get the code.so the problem must be with the Real player format,you should rewrite this format part!
Dennis Zhang [04:28 PM]: Also,in the review page(not in editing page),when I try to save the position, the movie will stop and return to the very beging,but if I pull the status line to a certain place and click "save"button,the position will be saved and reloaded,but this is not convenient, can you make it save without stoping to the beggining?Thanks!

IE freeze up : If you are not seeing 100% processor usage then this is a different issue which needs to be fixed. Do you get the same problem in Firefox ?

Login problem : Not really sure what is causing this, but the module has nothing to do with the Moodle login stuff so there isn't much I can do about this.

Video file problem : Sounds like you have a problem with the media file you are trying to play. Windows Media Player can't normally play .rm files at all, so if it's playing in Windows Media Player and not Real then the it seems to me that the file you have isn't a Real Player .rm file, but something else with the wrong file extension. Unfortunately this is all beyond the scope of the AutoView module, so there is nothing I can do about it except to suggest that you test the video files with the relevant players before uploading them to Moodle.

Save position problem : Does this happen only with windows media player ? I have this problem too, I think it's a deliberate design choice on the part of Microsoft, when you click a link on the same page as the windows media player plugin, the plugin stops playing. So far I've not found any way of bypassing this behaviour. Real Player and Quicktime do not have this problem. I did once try putting the Windows Media player plugin inside it's own IFRAME tag to get around this but it made no difference.
