Can I watch all the videos at once without having to scroll down and click every 5mins?

    Josh, it is not currently possible to auto play videos within a video resource. We are aware of this issue and are working to make our video playback experience more user friendly.

    What other features would you like to see implemented in our video player that would improve your user experience with Mobile Ed?

    Josh,

    After you watch a video, there is left and right arrow on the bottom right of the screen that you can use to cycle through to the next video.

    Hey guys,

    I don't have access to the internet where I live (a small Scottish village in the middle of no where). I have to download and update Logos at work (which is a slight headach).

    Here's my question... I have purchased about 27 of the Mob Ed courses and want to watch them offline at home. I can download them on my iPad for offline viewing (on a very small screen), but I would like to watch them on my desktop. I can see no option for offline viewing on my desktop.

    If this is not a possibility can I can please plead with you to implement an option for downloading the videos for offline viewing.

    Many thanks

    Can someone please tell me how to watch the videos that have been added to my downloaded collection? I know that I have some videos that I was told would be downloaded to my system and thus I would be able to watch them offline if I had to.

    My problem is related to the first question in this thread, how do I watch the videos I downloaded? Where do you click to find them?

    Logos 5  w / Verbum add-on.

    Thank you,

    Dan

    Dan and Mark,

    Mobile Ed courses ship with two resources: a text/transcript resource and a video resource. Both resources can be found in search of your library for the course code or title. To open the video resource you can do that as any other book in your library or you can click on a video thumbnail from within the transcript resource (doing this opens the video resource in a separate panel).

    To access your videos offline you can "Download All Media" by accessing the video resource's panel menu and selecting "Download All Media." This action downloads a high quality version of all video files and stores them on your computer's hard drive. This may take a while depending on the speed of your internet connection. Once downloaded you will be able to play any of the videos in the video resource normally without an internet connection.

    Similar functionality is available for mobile devices.

    Josh,

    What a star!

    When I click "download all media" is it downloading media just for that resource? I guess so, but just to make sure.

    Thanks

    Yes, it downloads media just for that resource. This let's you choose which of your courses to download and which to keep in the cloud to be downloaded later.

    Hi,

    It does not work with NT Theology. Videos keep on pausing even after download on android 4.5.0 platform.

    I think Logos cheats.

    @John, which lessons are you having trouble viewing?

    Hi Josh,

    There are two issues with NT Theology.

    First, it is pointless to download the media onto phone memory. The apps still requires access to stream the video.

    Second, I start to have major video stopping issues in segments 12 & 13 of the course. There are also occasional video stopping behavior in previous segments.

    I'm not sure Logos realized that it makes studying very difficult for users.

    I think there are issues with the apps (Android 4.5.0 Build 419) unable to play downloaded video streams.

    Also there are issues with video files hosted in data center. Most probably there are mis-configuration in network/server devices since videos always pause at the same locations. It does not look like a bandwidth/capacity problem.

    point of note to those that select/elect to download media from the video's resource panel:  these videos are nice, in that they are pretty high resolution.   that means that they are rather large, overall.  especially when downloading the whole set for a given course.

    the point of note is that I suggest that you keep an eye on your hard drive free space, and further that when you complete a course, you will want to go back to the resource panel and delete the downloaded media (if you are space-constrained).

    When I am on my desktop at home, space is not an issue with literally terabytes of space available.  However, when i am at work, at church, on the road, my Tablet PC (not tablet device, ie iPad) has limited resource space in it's dual SSD.  My library is large enough as it is, so when I add the additional media/video's for a given course that I am currently taking, my experience is that my SSD is extremely low on "space available" (especially if I get a Logos resource update or an ordered prepub goes online and my system wants to index those resources).

    Just something to know about how the system works and what's available for your particular computer platform...

    To access your videos offline you can "Download All Media" by accessing the video resource's panel menu and selecting "Download All Media." This action downloads a high quality version of all video files and stores them on your computer's hard drive.

    Once you have the videos downloaded on your hard drive, is there any way to access the actual video files? I'd like to use a different player to play these videos at a faster speed than 1x, but I cannot find where the video files are located. Can anyone help me with this?
