It is possible to remove the Kaltura Picture on the KDP or customize KDP with a specific JW FLW player
Wed, 02/24/2010 - 13:13
Hi,
We would like to know more about the KDP and how it is working with jw flv integration.
I guess that KDP is coming or integrated from a JW FLW player, customized for Kaltura.
I have some questions on this issue:
- Could KDP be used with a custom JW FLV player designed for a specific customer?
- Could the Kaltura logo of the KDP be removed, I mean, the logo on the right-bottom side of the KDP player?
We tried to modify some settings with Adobe Flex Builder without success.
Any information about this issue will be wellcome, and help us to understand better the platform.
Many thanks in advance.

You can also change the kaltura watermark editing the uiconf.xml file of your player.
Find the label and change it.

Hi,
is it possible to hide it via flashvars?
That would be great, instead of using a custom xml or modified player or uiconf.
greetings from germany to all

Nir R. from Kaltura did send me the information:
White-label a player
kalturaLogo.visible=false&kalturaLogo.includeInLayout=false
Add other logo to the player
mylogo.plugin=true&mylogo.className=Watermark&mylogo.width=[WidthInPx]&mylogo.height=[HeightInPx]&mylogo.watermarkPath=[LogoPath]&mylogo.watermarkClickPath=[LogoLandingPageURL]&mylogo.position=after&mylogo.relativeTo=kalturaLogo

I am to understand that I can send these as flashvars and brand the player without the need to compile the flex code?

yes, normally this will work with a custom xml, you don't need to deploy your own skin or player. I was looking for another solution: flashvars only.

danaris...you're my hero! Thanks for this info....
So for other who are as slow as me. You can completely re-brand or de-brand the player by going into you App STUDIO and edit or create a new player.
Then under features > Additional Parameters and Plugins cut and past this to de-brand...
kalturaLogo.visible=false&kalturaLogo.includeInLayout=false&mylogo.plugin=true
or this to re-brand...
kalturaLogo.visible=false&kalturaLogo.includeInLayout=false&mylogo.plugin=true&mylogo.className=Watermark&mylogo.width=[WidthInPx]&mylogo.height=[HeightInPx]&mylogo.watermarkPath=[LogoPath]&mylogo.watermarkClickPath=[LogoLandingPageURL]&mylogo.position=after&mylogo.relativeTo=kalturaLogo
Change the [WidthInPx], [HeightInPx], [LogoPath], and [LogoLandingPageURL] to your icons info.

I just did this..
Then under features > Additional Parameters and Plugins cut and past this to de-brand...
kalturaLogo.visible=false&kalturaLogo.includeInLayout=false&mylogo.plugin=true
And the kaltura interface stops. I refresh and the new player isn't listed. Any thoughts?

For some reason this is just plain not working for me. I've tried everything, 1) editing uiConf XML, 2) adding flashvars to "Additional Parameters and Plugins" and 3) adding flashvars at embed time.
The strangest thing is that when I add those flashvars to the "additional parameters and plugins" area, the player then will not even load!
This is just plain strange. I'm not using a CDN and I've cleared all caches. I don't get it...

ok got it to work, just make sure you put this part in:
kalturaLogo.visible=false&kalturaLogo.includeInLayout=false
and leave *out* the mylogo.plugin=true part, otherwise the player will keep looking for a plugin that doesn't exist and it won't load.

you can use flashvars to change watermarks:
watermark.watermarkPosition=bottomLeft&watermark.watermarkPath=/images/myimage.png&watermark.watermarkClickPath=http://google.com

Thanks Danaris, am able to remove the logo with the help of the steps you wrote down.
But i want to re-brand the kaltura logo with some other logo, so where should my image physically lie? in Opt folder? I also tried using a web url, but didn't show with the player? Am my missing some steps?
What should be value for the position variable?

Hi,
while changing for watermark.path, i uploaded the logo at this path:/opt/kaltura/web/content/uiconf/kaltura/kmc/appstudio/kdp3 which renders properly in kmc at CE,
but while i embed the video with that particular player at other site "the logo image" doesn't renders itself.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You can remove/change the Kaltura logo of the KDP. You have to download the latest KDP source code and open the project using Adobe Flex.
Open the kdp_skin_aps_v5.css file and find the lines "Button.kalturaLogoLight" and "Button.kalturaLogoDark" .
Edit "icon: Embed(skinClass='Kaltura_icon_light');" and "icon: Embed(skinClass='Kaltura_icon_dark');" For example: "icon: Embed(skinClass='MY_CUSTOM_LOGO.PNG');"
Compile the project.
Now, you have a new kdp_skin_aps_v5.swf with your new logo. Copy this file and replace it in kalturaCE server or edit the skinPath attribute in the label in the uiconf.xml file of your player.
For example:
