This issue highlights the upgrade of the Opencast PHP Library to version 1.9.0 and its potential impact on the ILIAS Opencast plugin.

Considerations for ILIAS Opencast Plugin:

The following changes should be reviewed and potentially applied to ensure compatibility and improvements:

• Dynamic Workflow Configuration Panel

  • Upgrade is needed to use withconfigurationpaneljson, making the plugins compatible with Opencast 17.

• Search Endpoint Response Conflict (OC 15 vs. OC 16+)

  • Ensure that all search calls now use OcUtils to retrieve mediapackages.

• Subtitle Management Improvement

  • With support for tags and caption/source flavor in the addTrack event API, we can simplify transcription/subtitle handling.
  • Transition from the ingest + mediapackage mechanism to using the event API addTrack.

• New Parameter: includeInternalPublication

  • This parameter allows retrieval of internal publications.
  • No immediate use case has been identified, but it could be valuable for future development.

• Removal of Deprecated Methods

  • Several outdated methods have been removed in this version:
    • 🔗 List of removed methods
  • Fortunately, no active usage of these methods has been found in the plugins.

This upgrade brings improvements and better compatibility with newer Opencast versions. If you have any insights or concerns, feel free to discuss them here!
