Brief test of interactive video

Hi, in gerneral, I love it. All these new functions are all useful and with great improvements.

Here is my brief test at [h5p id="106"]. Hope the information is helpful.

  • New content type for creating hotspots on top of your video

I do not know how TEXT( Descriptive text for assistive technologies) is effective.  I did not see where it is showed. Do I miss somthing?

  • New content type Questionnaire (needs LRS integration to store answers)

How to set the correct answer? I chose single answer and both of the answers (two answers provided. should be the first one is correct?) are correct. About LRS, I have a test LRS but I do not know where to config on the labs.h5p.org. Or I should test it in my system?

  • Configurable playback rate

Great function. Only I dont know why 0.25 -> In my comuter, it became no sound.

  • Configurable rewind button

I did not see it. May I know where it is. Thank you.

  • Link text and images to video time-codes or URLs

Link text: In the beginning, I cannot choose to be time-code. I realized that Link Text means "Text" NOT "Link". A little semantic confusion but it is OK I think. Maybe UI could be more clear. Images to video time-codes or URLs works great and this is needed function for a long time. What a great news!!

  • Customizable background color and transparency for text, images and links

Great function!!! Just a question, how to change the color of the text accordingly? In my test, I put black background but I cannot change the color of the text.

  • Configure bookmark to load opened, and a smoother bookmark close animation

Look nice :).

Extra function suggestions:

Is it possible to make crossroad have continue the video option. Currently we only have one option: goto a time point.

Thank you for the feedback. I have tried to answer your comments, hope it is satisfying.

  • New content type for creating hotspots on top of your video

This text is only useful for assistive technologies(ATs), such as readspeakers. You can modify this to customize the experience for users of ATs, it will not be visible when not using ATs.

  • New content type Questionnaire (needs LRS integration to store answers)

How to set the correct answer? I chose single answer and both of the answers (two answers provided. should be the first one is correct?) are correct. About LRS, I have a test LRS but I do not know where to config on the labs.h5p.org. Or I should test it in my system?

There is no correct answer in Questionnaire. The Questionnaire is a content type for collecting user answers, not for testing users, similar to surveys. You should configure the LRS for your own system.

  • Configurable playback rate

Great function. Only I dont know why 0.25 -> In my comuter, it became no sound.

Yes, we are aware of this. Sound at 0.25 will get sluggish, so it is removed. This is the default behaviour of the HTML5 video player afaik.

  • Configurable rewind button

I did not see it. May I know where it is. Thank you.

Rewind button can be enabled inside the "Behavioural settings" group in the authoring tool.

  • Link text and images to video time-codes or URLs

Hehe, sorry, I see how that sentence can be confusing. Glad you like it!

Happy you like it. It is not possible to change the color of the text at the moment, however this is something I think would be really good. Hopefully it can be implemented soon! :)

I'm not sure how this would fit into the current design. You can always press "play" to continue the video, or press "x" if the interaction is a dialog, or ultimately add an additional option that would function as a continue by going +1 second in time. I don't think there are any plans to implement something like this in the roadmap.

Thank you so much for the feedback! :)

Thank you very much for your detail response.

I checked rewind button. It works well.
