Urgent: update of the Moodle-PlugIn required

Hello H5P-Group,

we are staff members from the Service Center Teaching at the Hochschule Hannover - University of applied sciences and arts and we want to make H5P available for our teachers in Moodle. We have consciously decided to use the PlugIn. Unfortunately, we keep running into problems that have already been fixed by the community on GitHub, but unfortunately are not released by the H5P group.
For example, there is a big problem when upgrading to Moodle 4.x with PHP 8. The content types cannot be installed and H5P becomes unusable. With PHP 7.4 it works (https://github.com/h5p/moodle-mod_hvp/issues/465). However, this PHP version is no longer supported.

Other issues have also been fixed by the community, like display and load time problems. Currently 110 issues are open and 23 pull requests are waiting to be merged. It is not reasonable for our IT to apply and support the fixes one by one.

There are many H5P users in our network of Moodle universities in German-speaking countries who are facing the same problems and support the request to release the patches for the whole project. Many universities have already migrated to Moodle 4.x. Many are about to do so this year.

We would therefore like to urge you to release a new version of the plug-in. When can we expect the new release?

Best regards,
Claudia

Moodle Plugin H5P for 4.1 LTS

Thank you for bringing up this topic, Claudia!

We are using the plugin for good reasons (and as recommended?) and we are about to switch to Moodle 4.1 LTS this summer. H5P is essentiel to our professors and highly used.

Moodle Plugin Update

We are also about to switch to php 8 in combination with Moodle 4.1.. The change is unavoidable for security reasons. Lecturers are enthusiastic about H5P and use it in many courses, so we would also very much welcome an update of the Moodle plugin.

We at Heidelberg University also provide the H5P plugin in Moodle. The plugin is currently used by around 2400 users. Because we will switch to Moodle 4.1 this year, we have an interest in the application being updated and any problems also being fixed.

Can we expect an update of the H5P Moodle plugin in the near future?
