Opencast Plugin

This plugin connects a website to the Opencast video management system, enabling the handling of educational and instructional video content directly from the CMS. It is designed for administrators, content authors, and educators who need to publish and manage video lectures, presentations, and recordings with specific access controls.

• Video Upload and Recording: Upload video files directly to an Opencast server or create new recordings using the integrated, browser-based Opencast Studio tool for multi-stream capture.
• Role-Based Access Control: Manage who can view specific videos by restricting playback and feature access based on existing user roles within the website.
• Integrated Video Player: Embed videos using the Opencast Paella Player, which supports features like multiple synchronous video streams and zoom, directly into posts and pages.
• Shortcode Functionality: Use simple shortcodes to display video lists, single episodes, upload interfaces, and recording buttons anywhere on the site without complex coding.
• Centralized Video Management: Admins can view and manage all connected Opencast videos from a single dashboard within the website's admin panel.
