Player calling home???
Thu, 12/10/2009 - 21:55
Hi guys - posted the following in the server forum a little while back & haven't had a reply - hoping I might get some sort of response from this one.
Trialing KalturaCE on a SLES 10 box (virgin box with lampp - worked straight off) - sitting on an isolated network with user ID/password proxy access out to the internet.
Really happy until I noticed the proxy auth box coming up every time I opened a page with the players embedded.
Wound up wireshark & looks like the client PC is heading out to kaltura.com, first off to GET crossdomain.xml & then another GET to <a href="http://kaltura.com/tracker?kpartner_id=KALTURACOM_PARTNER_ID&referer=" title="http://kaltura.com/tracker?kpartner_id=KALTURACOM_PARTNER_ID&referer=">http://kaltura.com/tracker?kpartner_id=KALTURACOM_PARTNER_ID&referer=</a>............................... blah blah
I've had a look around & can't see where this has been mentioned before - is this new/old/known? Is there a way to stop it?
This is no use to me if my users have to keep cancelling proxy auth boxes every time they want to see a local vid.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Phil
This is really going to be a show-stopper for me if there is no way around.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hey Phil I really appreciate you posting that information it saved me a major headache.
If anyone is getting a security sandbox error everytime they run the KDP then this is most likely the answer you are looking for.
For anyone interested, both IdoSet and Kalturian have responded to my post in the Server forum.
Yes, the call home can be turned off.
This is from Kalturian :
In kConf.php file, located in:
kalturaInstallationFolder/kaltura/alpha/config/kConf.php
find line:
"track_kdpwrapper" => true,
Change to:
"track_kdpwrapper" => false,
That should stop the 'call home' feature in the KDP.
Ta
Phil
