  • Q: Why isn't my KCW webcam working? / I have a streaming server (Red5/FMS/Wowza) installed, and I would like to enable recording from the KCW - what should I do ?
    A: Follow the following steps:

    • Create a symbolic link from the streams directry (the folder that is customized in the streaming server to save recorded streams to, on Red5 you can use: red5/webapps/oflaDemo) to the webcam folder in the kalturaCE (/kalturaCE/content/webcam).
    • Change the kcw uiConf (for the sample implementation: content/uiconf/kaltura/samplekit/kcw_2.6.4/kcw_samplekit.xml) to add the webcam UI:
      <provider id="webcam" name="webcam" code="2">
              <authMethodList>
                      <authMethod type="1" />
              </authMethodList>
              <moduleUrl>WebcamView.swf</moduleUrl>
              <customData>
                      <serverUrl>rtmp://{HOST_NAME}/oflaDemo</serverUrl>
              </customData>
      </provider>
    • Change the <serverUrl>...</serverUrl> tag value to the url of the recording application on your Streaming server (you can use {HOST_NAME} to use the KalturaCE server domain).
