CURL libraries for PHP needed!!!
INSTALL:
IMPORTANT: You need be a partner of kaltura.com or have your own copy of Kaltura Community Edition (CE) in order to use this plugin.
This plugin has an integraded form to register to Kaltura.
Do it in "Administration" -> Kaltura Video Admin
UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS:
TINYMCE INTEGRATION
This plugin can be integrated into TinyMCE rich text editor. To do that, simply go to "Administration" -> Kaltura Video Admin 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!
KALTURA CE SERVER
You can change the server and the flash widgets used in the plugin
by login into your Elgg installation as admin and go to:
"Administration" -> Kaltura Video Admin
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.

thanks man You are great
sorry ...a newbie question -but what is CURL Libary in PHP? Is that common in hosted sites?
Yes, it's common, if you want to check if your site souports it create a page with this code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and nothing more, then upload to your site with a name you want (phpinfo.php) and visit this page, if you see CURL or something similar. then you have it.
However, maybe the plugin works without this libraries, to be honest, I know that the older version doesn't works without, but maybe the new interface to kaltura does. So test it anyway and report me your trouble, I'll try to help you.
okay... will go ahead and load it and let you know...thanks
loaded it up.... Works on videos that are uploaded, but created a video /slideshow with images and music and it will not play in ELGG once created. Plays if its open in kaltura, like in edit mode, but will not play in ELGG ....
Could be a problem with the elgg cache, sometimes videos needs some time to be ready. Has been fixed?
nope still not working... never had any problems with video on the site. Like I mentioned, They play fine if in edit mode..... but nothing in live ELGG
I created a duplicate without music and it works fine... will try again with audio..
And? it works?
When I hit Create Video - I just see the loading graphic - ERROR: Webpage error details
