Why do I get a crossdomain.xml error after installing Kaltura’s module?
As instructed in Kaltura’s module README file, after you unzip Kaltura’s module into your Drupal modules folder, you need to copy the crossdomain.xml file from its original location at the Kaltura modules folder into the root directory of your domain. If your domain is www.domain.com then the crossdomain.xml file should be copied to http://www.domain.com/crossdomain.xml.
Do I need to register to Kaltura in order to complete Kaltura’s Drupal module installation process?
Yes. To complete the installation of Kaltura All-in-one video module for Drupal, you need to register to Kaltura partners program. This could be done during installation process, when you are directed to Kaltura registration page, or you can go to Administer > Site Configuration > Kaltura > Server Integration Settings and as a partner. Your Kaltura partner information will be automatically saved into module’s configuration, and will be sent to you in an email as well.
If you previously registered to Kaltura, and already have your partner identifiers, there is no need to register again. At the Kaltura Server Integration Settings page, click the “Click here if you already have a Partner ID” link and just put your partner information to complete your installation process.
Do I need to set Kaltura to Drupal notification Settings?
Yes. Kaltura implements a set of notifications, sent from Kaltura servers to your Drupal website. These notifications update your Drupal website with the status of your media. In order to support server side notifications, your server must be publicly available on the internet:
Please go to Administer > Site Configuration > Kaltura > Server Integration Settings > Kaltura to Drupal Notifications Settings and put your Drupal base URL: http://www.yourdomain.com. This will configure your notification url. For password-protected site, you should set the notification URL as http://user:pass@yourdomain.com/. Kaltura will concatenate a /?q=kaltura/notification_handler string to this base URL to have a direct link to the notifications handling functionality. In addition to your URL settings, you should check the ‘Enable server side notifications’ option at the notification settings form.
It is recommended that you verify (using an HTTP sniffer) that the notification URL returns HTTP 200 and does not redirect traffic to another URL. Redirection will cause notifications to miss their destination.
I tried to create a new Kaltura node, but the Contributor Wizard did not show up
The most common reason for such problem is that your crossdomain.xml file is not available at the root directory of your domain. To correct this problem, copy the crossdomain.xml file from Kaltura’s module folder into the root directory of your domain.
I uploaded media to a new Kaltura node, but the media I uploaded did not show up
The most common reasons for such a problem are:
- Your crossdomain.xml file is not available at the Root directory of your domain. To correct this problem, copy the crossdomain.xml file from Kaltura’s module folder into the root directory of your domain.
- Your notification URL is not configured correctly. Or the ‘Enable server side notifications’ is not checked. To correct this problem, go to Administer > Site Configuration > Kaltura > Server Integration Settings > Kaltura to Drupal Notifications Settings and adjust your notifications settings.
- If you are running a Drupal instance on a localhost or if your Drupal site is not accessible from the web, the Kaltura notification mechanism is not applicable. In this case you should go to Administer > Site Configuration > Kaltura > Kaltura Media Node Settings>Video display and check the ‘Display in player even if not ready’ option.
How to limit number of items Kaltura’s views?
If you wish to limit the number of items displayed within the various drupal media views provided by Kaltura, Go to Administer > Site Building > Views. From the views list, choose and edit the relevant Kaltura view. At the ‘Edit’ screen set the ‘Items per page’ basic settings to the number of items you want to appear within the view.
Can I store all videos and media at my local server?
