Bugs related to version 1.0

Let me know bugs found on Kaltura Elgg Plugin. Please post it here

  • Hi Ivan,

    Not sure if this is a plugin bug or a flash/iframe bug but after I embed a video, when I click on the embed buttons agian the previous posted video shows up on top of the embed dialog

    Thank you for creating this plug in.

  • One more- I created a custom player and added it to the list and it shows up. but not all the options that I added to the player (like download, fast forward etc) apear on my elgg site and I can't get it to allow full screen playback.  I hope I am just overlooking something obvious.

  • Actualy one more. If I am logged in as Admin I can embed and see embeded videos just fine.

    If I am logged in with out being an admin, I get this in my view.

    "

    Where the videos should be.

     

  • Very rare, can I view it for myself? any link to see this? via private message if you want.

  • I think this is something related with some html-replacer-plugin, can you list what plugins have you installed? also write the elgg version.

  • What's the difference between kalturaCE and kaltura.com?  You change the url to your server if CE...  Are there any other changes?

    kaltura.com works but CE doesn't?

    CE never gets to the Mix part (video editor) ...  kaltura.com upload, tags then goes to the mix

     Interestingly enough - if I use one of the demo Video Mix files, add my name etc., I can import it in the elgg and use the video editor to edit the mix correctly.

  • To make kalturaCE work with elgg:

    1)  In elgg pluggin:   kaltura_video/kaltura/api_client   open definitions.php file
    change the http address to the url of your public server  (lines26 & 27)
    define("KALTURA_SERVER_URL", http://www.kaltura.com); 
    define("KALTURA_CDN_URL", http://cdn.kaltura.com);
    2)  In same file:  comment out the line  (35)     //define("KALTURA_KCW_UICONF", 380);
    3)  In same file:  uncomment out the line (31)  define("KALTURA_KCW_UNICONF", 501);

    kalturaCE now works with elgg 

    If you just use the plugin without changing anything the kaltura.com hosted videos works but won't work with the kalturaCE self hosted version.

    The other cool feature is creating your own player in 'Application Studio' on kalturaCE.  You can make your own watermark etc...  Once you've created a player you'll have an ID#.  Further down the definitions.php client you'll see KALTURA_GLOBAL_PLAYER (line 44) - go down to uiConfId and change the # to the ID# you just created.  I did it on line 48 & 56 because I wasn't sure which it was pulling from.

    Thank you kaltura, this really is a great player and host program.  Saved our school $$$.

    Thank you thank you to the writer of the plugin for elgg.  Way cool!

    - Don

  • I have aonther question, where can I extend the types of video files allowed for upload? I was trying to upload .mp4 but no luck, I can do this on the kaltura mangement console as their upload and webiste says they support many more video types.

    thank you,

    Brad

  • Thanks Don, this is a good contribution, I didn't test kalturaCE yet!

    Brad: I can't help you with this kind of questions, I made the plugin and it works with the api of Kaltura. Is this api that have to make this work.

    However, I'll ask to kaltura guys about this, maybe is a bug in the contribution wizard.

  • Ah ok, that was what I was guessing but I was not sure. If you look at the number of formats accpepted directly with the upload you can see how many other formats are supported.

    This was the only thing I could find on it http://www.kaltura.org/kaltura-simple-uploader-ksu-uiconf-and-filetype-filters but was not able to figure out where to edit the uploader code throught the ELGG plugin.

    Thanks again for helping me out, I am still a bit new to all this and I am trying to get up to speed as quick as I can.
