Thanks

Hi!

Whats' the fastest way to get a username from user ID? Apparently, the KalturaMediaEntry only contains the User ID.

I've been doing this to grab username from user ID:

KalturaUser user = client.UserService.Get(entry.UserId)

However, this takes a LONG time. If I search for some videos, it takes around 70 milliseconds to grab each username with this method. This makes my search engine really slow at displaying many search results.

Is there an easier/quicker way to do this?

Hi,

I have a list action request for fetching media entries. I'd like to get back the metadata for each of the entries returned. I'd like to use a multirequest so I can get back all the data in one response.

For the second request, I set the objectIdIn to {1:result:objects:0:id}.

However, this just gets back the metadata for the first entry returned in the first request since it uses 0 for the index.

Is there a way to get back all of the metadata for all of the entries returned in the first request?

Is there an index value, a kind of wildcard, I can use to indicate I want the metadata back for each of the entries?

Hi to everybody!

I'm having a trouble with the videos uploading. I'm using the latest version of Kaltura C# API. The problem occurs on the request.GetResponse() into KalturaClientBase's "DoQueue" method, after loading all bytes of the file into the request.

The error message is "WebException was unhandled. The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.".

This is weird because before the upload the system makes the media entry and gets the uploadToken id. Sometimes I pause the execution before do the request.GetResponse by a minute and half and then I continue it, the process works fine.

Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions?

Hi to Everybody,

I'm needing to filter and order my video entries by metadata. By the moment I can filter my video entries, but I can't order (sort) these. I have created a new date field into the metadata, and I want order my video entries by this.

I was trying do it from Kaltura Test Console. The steps I followed are:
1) Login to get Kaltura Session.
2) Select service "media" and then action "list"
3) Select "KalturaMediaEntryFilder" into Filter field.
4) From KalturaMediaEntryFilter tab:
---1) Select "KalturaMetadataSearchItem" into AdvanceSearch field.
---2) From KalturaMetadataSearchItem tab:
------1) Set Metadata Profile Id.
------2) Put +/*[local-name()='metadata']/*[local-name()='Test'] into orderBy field. Test is the field witch I want order the video entries.
------3) Add a new item and then select "KalturaSearchCondition" into the new field.
------4) From new KalturaSearchCondition tab:
------------1) Put /*[local-name()='metadata']/*[local-name()='Test'] into Field field for filter these entries that have the Test field on his metadata.

So, when I click the "Send" button it returns me all video entries that have the "Test" metadata field, but these aren't sorted.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!!!

We are using the Kaltura Community Edition for an internal project.
As per my understanding this is the Kaltura OVP.
We would want to know the difference between Kaltura OVP and Kaltura OTT.
Are the APIs different for both? We have got the APIs for Kaltura OVP, but could not find any for OTT.
Also are the HTML players different for Kalrura OVP and Katura OTT ?

what i m passing is .m3u8 file format url to the MPMoviePlayerController, and i m able to play Live Streaming. but how can i achieve it using Kaltura's Live Streaming ?

according to http://corp.kaltura.com/company/news/press-release/kaltura-%E2%80%98cracks-code%E2%80%99-reliable-hls-video-streaming-android-devices there is Android SDK for live streaming of videos using Kaltura, is there any iOS SDK for Live Streaming ? or Do i have to use iOS built in MPMoviePlayerController for Live Streaming , if yes then what is the way ?

Hi,

I work for an Ad Tech company. I am trying to embed your player with a javascript VPAID tag on our servers (or, for starters, working on my local system). Long story short: it works fine on your page (including the ad), but when I try to play it locally, the video plays but the ad is just ignored and not shown. Here's what I get in the console:

30743062:40 kWidget: Kaltura HTML5 Version: 1.9.6

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/serverip. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://st.localdev.com' is therefore not allowed access.

So, this "serverip" endpoint comes back without CORS headers. I don't know if this is the reason for the ad to be ignored, but it's the only hint I have.

Here is the exact VAST/VPAID tag I'm trying to run, working on your demo page:

http://player.kaltura.com/modules/AdSupport/tests/VPAID.html#%7B%22flashvars%22%3A%7B%22vast%22%3A%7B%22prerollUrl%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Ffwstage.test-adsafeprotected.com%2Fvast%3FanId%3D7%26advId%3D2%26campId%3D3%26chanId%3D5%26placementId%3D6%26pubId%3D8%26includeFlash%3Dfalse%26includeHtml5%3Dtrue%26fwServer%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Ffwstage.test-adsafeprotected.com%26originalVast%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fst1.adsafecontrol.com%2Fvideo%2Fvast3Macros.xml.php%22%7D%7D%7D

And here is the code I'm using to try to embed locally:

http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/p/1995821/sp/199582100/embedIframeJs/uiconf_id/30743062/partner_id/1995821

And the embedding code:
(nodeId is just a local var that resolves to the id of the DIV which hosts the player; it does exist on the page):

mw.setConfig( 'KalturaSupport.LeadWithHTML5', true );
			kWidget.embed({
				targetId: nodeId,
				wid: "_1995821",

According to Kaltura documentation : http://knowledge.kaltura.com/kaltura-player-sdk-ios

There are two ways to install Kaltura SDK, one is pod and other is traditional way to drag and drop Kaltura SDK.

1)Traditional Way : GitHub kaltura player sdk, has KPViewController class, which is used to play video as per the documents. but not having KalturaPlayer class

2)POD installation : pod 'player-sdk-native-ios', '~> 1.1' they provided KalturaPlayer class which is not present in GitHub link

And [[KPViewController alloc] initWithURL:iFrameURL]; gives the error KPViewController doesnt have initWithURL method.

3)according to demo app : https://github.com/kaltura/IOSReferenceApp they have installed the sdk traditional way but yet they have KalturaPlayer class. And drawPlayer method from MediaInfoViewController_iPhone.m has implementation of playing video ,yet it is not playing video for me, so i m directly calling a method playButtonPressed from same class, which calls method playVideo from PlayerViewController_iPhone class and it plays video but the methdod playVideo opens MPMoviePlayerViewController which is different from KalturaPlayer

So which SDK should i use and if use POD sdk then is it the right way to play the Video because it plays in MPMoviePlayerViewController rather than KPViewController ?

Please help.

I have a video sharing website that creates a new partner for each user via the API. After I create each partner I would like to setup remote AWS S3 storage and delivery which I feel I can do through the delieveryProfile and storageProfile services.

My question is how do I set the Remote Storage Policy? And set purge files on deletion from the api?

I can set them from the web interface, but not from the API. I noticed KalturaSystemPartnerConfiguration and the service systempartner exist on older version. I also noticed the file /opt/kaltura/app/deployment/permissions/service.systempartner.systempartner.ini, but I have no clue how to use it.
