Hi everyone,
Is your institution using Blackboard with content and community license and Helix Media Library building block? I would be interested to hear from other institutions if they have experienced problems with the Helix building block integration:
When we use the Helix Media Library mashup within the Blackboard text editor it fails to embed the video into the text editor. This was something that was all working prior to upgrading the Helix building block and Helix Media Library server. Streaming are currently investigating this but any insight from the Blackboard community would be much appreciated.
Build Details
Blackboard release: 9.1.201410.160373
Helix building block version: 2.1.0
Helix Media Library server version: 3.1.018 ("stable version")
Steps taken from Blackboard
1. Build content - Item
2. Enter a title
3. Within the text editor, click on Mashups and select Helix Media Library
4. Select Search 'choose existing media item'
5. This will display the videos in a users personal category
6. Select a video
7. Accept the defaults on the Student View - Preview page and click Finish
8. At this point the video should embed into the text editor
* At step 4 there is another option to upload a video from elsewhere e.g. desktop, this still gets an error message when clicking Finish and doesn't embed in the text editor but the video does upload to my personal category on the Helix Media Library.
many thanks in advance
