I am integrating the Kaltura Contribution Wizard into my web application. Ideally I would like to use the KCW to only allow uploads and the webcam capability. I don't want it to have the "My Content" tab. I've found a few different documents that describe the process for editing the uiconf. The one I am currently following is Kaltura Contribution Wizard (KCW) Customization

I know of an existing uiconf(6709401) that is exactly like I want but it has the "My Content" tab. I've cloned it's XML using the API and removed the XML block for the "My Content" tab. When I create a new uiconf with this newly edited XML everything seems to work fine. A side by side comparison of the two uiconf objects seems to be confirm my changes and nothing looks out of place.

When I change the uiconf id in my HTML from 6709401 to 8042362(the id I was given back from the api add call) all I get is a black square. If I change the code back it works. If I do a straight clone of 6709401 without editing it, it still doesn't work. I still get that black box. Here is the XML that I've edited:

I've been going over and over the instructions but to no avail. Basically I can seem to use just about any other uiconf except ones that I've made myself. I'm not sure what I could be missing. There doesn't seem to be much on the forums/google about this problem , so I definitely think I am missing something in a big way.

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can give me.
