Over here I was advised that if I wanted to disable video transcripts by default, I needed to edit common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/video_module/video_xfields.py
I did that by doing:
tutor local run lms bash
apt-get update
apt-get -y install vim
vim ./common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/video_module/video_xfields.py
And then a tutor local quickstart
But I didn’t see any change in behavior. Video transcripts were still enabled by default for all new videos. So I suspect this is another one of those things which behaves slightly differently in tutor than basic installs. So what’s the right way to get changes to that file to get picked up?
When you make changes to the files inside a Docker container, your changes are not picked up until the server is restarted. But at that point, the container is also restarted, thus discarding your changes…
Yeah, I had filed a JIRA ticket. But given that I see stuff over a year old having never been triaged, I don’t hold out much hope there… So I guess I’ll have to fork it eventually, and make the instructors deal with it in the meantime.
