DEPENDENCIES:
 
    Elgg 1.6
    CURL libraries for PHP needed!!!
 
INSTALL:
 
    0. Please be sure that you have Elgg installed in a site with CURL
       libraries for PHP
 
    1. Copy the directory kaltura_video/ and all his files to the
       plugins folder in elgg_path/mod/
 
    2. Activate the plugin in tools administration
 
    3. Configure the plugin by clicking in
       "Tools administration" -> kaltura_video -> [Settings]
 
       IMPORTANT: You need be a partner of kaltura.com site in order to
       use this plugin.
       From version 1.0 this plugin has an integraded form to register
       to Kaltura.
       Do it in "Tools administration" -> kaltura_video -> [Settings]
 
UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS:
 
    1. Completly remove the old kaltura_video/ directory in the
       plugin's folder (mod/) and put the new one instead
 
    2. Run the "Recreate all video objects" as administrador if your
       older version is lower than 1.0
 
    3. That's all, enjoy it!
 
TINYMCE INTEGRATION
 
    This plugin can be integrated into TinyMCE rich text editor. To do
    that, simply go to "Tools administration" -> Kaltura_video Settings
    and choose "Try to integrate into tinyMCE".
 
    However    there are a lot versions of this plugin and the integration
    method is far away from perfection.
 
    So, if something is broken after activating the integration,
    deactivate it and report me this issue!
 
ADVANCED IMPORT VIDEOS FROM KALTURA
 
    From version 1.0 you can easyly import videos created outside Elgg
    in Kaltura (for example with the drupal or wordpress plugin).
 
    To do that, go to Kaltura's CMS:
    http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kmc
 
    Login in, edit the "Video Mix" videos (you can only import this kind
    of videos). Put the "Admin Tags" property with the value of
    "elgg_plugin" followed by the username in Elgg you want to assign
    the video.
 
    EX:
 
    If you want to import a video from Kaltura's CMS to the user "foo"
    ("foo" is the username, not the name of the user) edit the details
    of the video in Kaltura's CMS and let the Admin tags like this:
 
    elgg_plugin foo
 
    Then go to your Elgg installation and run "Recreate objects" logged
    intoo and admin account.
 
ADVANCED CONFIGURATION & KALTURA CE SERVER
 
    You can change the servers and the flash widgets used in the plugin
    by editing the file:
 
    kaltura_video/kaltura/api_client/definitions.php
 
    This is not well tested, but you can try your own player widgets
    or editors.
    Please provide some feedback to me if you do that! Thanks.
