We use JW Player to embed our videos into a WordPress based front-end. It handles FLVs and (increasingly) MP4s streamed from our Red5 media server. All three parts are open-source and were easy to integrate.

We recently installed Xibo to manage our large plasma screens around the school site. Easy to install; both client and server. Very happy with it. Despite what previous posters have said, it handles PowerPoints just fine. Approx. 90% of our content is PowerPoint based.

We currently stream our library of approx. 1.5k videos using an on-premise Red5 server; through a WordPress based front-end.

If you like Learn Dash, did you see the recent launch of WooTheme's Sensei LMS plugin for WordPress? I think it all depends on how you want to use your VLE. WordPress based solutions provide a 'lite' option. But they lack most of the sophisticated assessment, tracking and analytics capabilities of something like Moodle.

I followed CyberNerd's advice and kept increasing the max_execution_time until it worked. 15mins was correct.

post_max_size is 2048M upload_max_filesize is 2048M max_execution_time is 60 I'm not sure the max_execution_time is applicable though, because it definitely spends longer than 60-secs before it times out. As I'm already clutching at straws, I will try doubling the execution time.

I'm having difficulties uploading large (200MB-1.9GB) SCORM files to my Moodle (2.4.1-weekly on a 6GB Linux VPS). It appears to be successfully uploading the SCORM file, through the file picker. This was the first hurdle I overcame - by tweaking the PHP settings, e.g. upload_max_filesize, etc. The problem occurs when I get to the final "Save and Return" button. It spends 1-2 mins loading/processing/thinking about it, but finally ends up returning an "Error: zero-sized reply" message. This issue affects all the large (200MB+) SCORMs I have, including from different producers. SCORMs smaller than 150MB have been successfully installed, including on the most recent Moodle 2.4.1+. I've been trying to debug this for so long I cannot see the wood for the trees anymore. It's an issue that gets raised again and again on the Moodle forum, but never properly answered. Does anyone have an insight into this problem, or have any helpful suggestions.
