[Xerte] Re: sharing LOs via link from Project tab

Thu Jan 19 17:16:49 GMT 2012

Hi Gillian,

Localhost is "internet slang" for "the computer you are on".

So only you can see http://localhost

Try the following

Go Start Then Run, type in "command" press return

Type in IPconfig and press return

One line will say ip addres ......................... and then four
numbers separated by a full stop.

Change the address you give to people to

http://(the four numbers and full stops)/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=10

please remove the brackets from the above

This link may work on other PCs / Macs on your network, but almost
certainly won't work outside of your Uni

I looked on JISC Tech Dis website and found the helpsheet 'editing, managing and sharing learning objects (Part 1) and followed instructions as best I can. Step 19 shows how to get a link via Project tab. I have copied the link - works fine on my computer but not on a couple of colleagues I've tested it out on

>>
>> Hi all,
>>
>> We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath
>> as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos
>> not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M
>> posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and
>> Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our
>> installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but
>> apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.
>>
>> Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow
>> this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice
>> from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are
>> wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean
>> install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we
>> have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?
>>
>> If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps
>> that we need to take including file paths etc?
>>
>> many thanks

>> Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:
>>
>> Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some
>> problems with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to
>> you to know what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the
>> problem you are having and I will implement any suggested solution
>> until I get the OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.
>>
>> With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:
>>
>> On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a
>> blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached
>> a screenshot to show this.
>>
>> cheers
