Kaltura is very new (and exciting) to me. I noticed there is no real setup guide for the remix microsite. I can't seem to get beyond a blank screen www.di-f.com/remix

thanks,
dave

Hi dave,

  1. Open /lib/config.php
  2. Fill in your partner details as specified in this "prepare for integration" guide.

That's pretty much it...

Did you end up getting the remix sample site working Dave?

The player is visible but the video never loads. I think I've narrowed down the problem to the KSHOW_IDs. I'm not clear on what it should be. I've tried both of these snippets of code and neither works. I know I've got the correct entry ID. What am I missing?

//REMIX HOMEPAGE ENTRIES -
const BASE_KSHOW_ID = "entry-vc1tlle8ms";
const TRAILER_KSHOW_ID = "entry-vc1tlle8ms";

//REMIX HOMEPAGE ENTRIES -
const BASE_KSHOW_ID = "vc1tlle8ms";
const TRAILER_KSHOW_ID = "vc1tlle8ms";

See: http://www.kaltura.org/cloning-kshow-fails-remixphp

Basically you need to use the TestMe console to find the KShow IDs for your entries...

1. Open the TestMe Console in your browser. It can be found at:

http://www.kaltura.com/api/testme

2. Enter your Partner ID on the partner_id text field. This information can be found on your introductory e-mail that you would have received when you signed up to Kaltura. For more information on this process please refer to the wiki...

http://wiki.kaltura.org/wiki/index.php/Prepare_for_Integration

3. Enter your Sub Partner ID on the subp_id text field.

4. On the service drop down menu select start session.

5. In the secret field enter your admin secret (as found on the welcome e-mail).

6. In the admin field enter "1" (which means "true" - 0 meaning false).

7. Press the submit button.

8. If all is good you should see something like this:

<xml>

<result>

<ks>
ODVlZTAwMWE4OGZjMDQyMmE1MDhjYjUyZWUzZjc1YzgyYWE4OTU3M3wxMjQzMTsxMjQzMTsxMjQ4MDc1MTQ5OzE7MTI0Nzk4ODc0OS44MTgyOzI7ZWRpdDoq
</ks>
<partner_id>12431</partner_id>
<subp_id>1243100</subp_id>
<uid>2</uid>
<serverTime>1247988749</serverTime>
</result>
<error/>

<debug>
<sigtype>1</sigtype>
<validateSignature/>

<execute_impl_time>0.00010919570922852</execute_impl_time>
<execute_time>0.02201509475708</execute_time>
<total_time>0.022233963012695</total_time>
</debug>
</xml>

...in the big result text area on the right, and a string of characters in the left ks text box. If not, something has gone wrong and you'll need to double check your partner details.

9. Now with a KS (which is basically your temporary session password) you can now do stuff. For example, select list uiconfs from the service drop down list and press submit. This will return a list of the first ten uiconfs.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards, Chris!
