I have Kaltura CE installed and running now I'm tried to install the Joomla component but after entering the URL, User and Password I get "Missing KS. Session not established". Anyone knows what can cause this API response?

Can someone post the "jos_kaltura_config" table of a working Kaltura CE Joomla installation? Maybe I can bypass the install ...

[update]
hmmm ... the configuration is not stored in "jos_kaltura_config" trying to find out where.

If I enter only user name and password and not the server address I get
Problem with http :///api_v3/index.php?service=partner&action=getSecrets,
I have entered a space after the http otherwise the board would have made an mess out of the code
that I get an error is totally correct but the error I get is not because this message should contain the complete url and not only a part of it.

[update]
So I don't have any more ideas - it would be great if some one has one ...

Hi, I still see no answer on how to configure the joomla component for working with a self hosted KalturaCE on the same host with the Joomla server.

I've installed kalturaCE and Joomla. When I go to Joomla Kaltura Video COmponent and try to configure it by "Using Kaltura's Community Edition"

I get the following error:

"Missing KS. Session not established"

the parameters entered are:
Kaltura CE URL: http://mykalturahost (as defined during kalturaCE installation)
Kaltura CE Admin Email: template@kaltura.com (the default Admin)
Kaltura CE Password: mypassword

Any advice will be welcome.

PS: Is strange that none of the extensions for the Joomla or Wordpress CMS are working with KalturaCE for me, and no documentation available for it ...like nobody encourages to use the kalturaCE self hosted version.

Run kaltura an joomla on same Host on port 80: I was not abel to run kaltura on virtual directory (192.168.0.4/video/) or to run it on other port so i added a virtual IP address to my interfaces and signup kaltura no the virtual ip. :D

Add a virtual ip address to your network interfaces

like:

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

#here in the example i used 192.168.0.5 ip, you must change to an ip from your network as wellas the rest of de ip's on my hosts file
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.0.5
netmask 255.255.255.0

####

Now just add to your hosts file : 192.168.0.5 127.0.0.1
192.168.0.5 192.168.0.4

Save it
Now run kaltura install and configure him do work on ip 192.168.0.5

Good Luke

I don't believe that this component has been updated to work with KalturaCE v2.0 ...

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I can confirm that I'm finding version issues across just about all of the plugin based components. If you're running Kaltura CE v2.0.2 be prepared to do a significant amount of script and table editing to get it to work. I've been at this for a couple of weeks now, and the only Kaltura plugin that I managed to get working was the "all-in-one video pack" for Wordpress.

Even then I had to read the kaltura_apache_error.log files and find out what the plugin was requesting and then create symlinks in my /storagedir/flash folders to point them to the appropriate components folders & version number folders for all the packages (kcw, kse, etc) and then go into the plugins configuration files (usually kaltura.conf) and put in the correct uiconfs for the packages and change the server urls. I'm sure if a person was determined enough they could re-author these plugins and make them work. My Kaltura CE server works perfectly... these stupid plugins just don't know how to talk to her!

The joomla plugin is all messed up because they don't ask for a partnerID so they're missing a required variable to even make a successful connection. Of all of them I think this one would take the most work to re-author for CE v2.02. The Buddypress Media Component with Kaltura CE support is a waste of time too unless you feel like recoding and tricking it. That one would would take a lot of work to fix. I've also tinkered around with the plugin for Elgg too, but it's really outdated too. With a bit of work I got it partially working. I'm still having problems with the KalturaContributionWizard (kcw) which is required for upload. For some reason instead of just calling the kcw they try to create their own and assign button functions, but their flash table is messed up and some of the buttons are hidden by other buttons.

A lot of this you just have to accept in the open-source world. Eventually some good php coder will get around to it, and write some compatible plugins. I still haven't tried the plugin for Moodle, but but from what I've read on the forums that one has some issues with v2.02 as well.

Given enough time I might try to author a plugin for CE. It seems to me that the Kaltura CE server is smart enough to tell you what versions it has available, and what the uiConf values are for them, a well written plugin would query those values and store them during the plugin installation and it wouldn't be so version sensitive in the first place.

I'm sure if you could get your hands on an older release of KalturaCE some of these plugins might work right the first time. So far I haven't been able to find one on the net. I'll probably tinker around with the Moodle plugin this afternoon and if I can't get any better results with that one, I'll just figure out how to get what I want out of a wordpress site and go from there.

If your a newb don't spin your wheels on this one... it'll give you a terrible headache.

scott - pm me if you want me to send you a download link for KalturaCE v1.5 x64 or 386. I still use the older version for clients from time to time, depending on their needs.

Hi,

I don't really understand the XML posts above but I've been receiving that response using KalturaCE v3.0.0 and Joomla v1.5.20....

Did a solution ever get found by any chance?

I saw people talking about adapting the hosted connection form on the left to connect to your hosted one instead of kaltura.com. Apparently, using it to create a new account was the way forward... However the post was discussing the Wordpress one...

Bye for now,

Guy

It's a REALLY simple fix. Load up your favorite SQL editor, PhpMyAdmin in my case. Open the Joomla database and navigate to the kaltura_config table. in that table modify the server_uri field with your server url and save. Once that's done return to the component configuration screen. Right under the title there is a small hyperlink that say's "Already a partner?". Click on that and enter the email address and password of the publisher you're using. It will auto-populate the secrets from there. Once that's done return to your PhpMyAdmin session and to the kaltura_config table, now you need to update the player UIDs. In the KMC navigate to the studio and copy and paste the ID number of the corresponding players into the database fields. After you've saved that modification, return to Joomla and start posting video!
