Hi there,
I try to use the module on my site, but the player is not shown.. how can I find the conflict?

If I use the module on a clean install it work seamless..

Hi rob,

I've been dealing with the same issue, when I first implemented the Kaltura module.

Are you using the Zen Theme or the SWF Tools module? Both of those could give conflicts when loading the necessairy Javascript for the player.

Hope I put you on the right track with this, come back and provide some more 'environmental' information, like Drupal version, other modules, used theme, etc. This way we can better analyse the situation and propose a better solution!

Greets,
Kim

Hi kim,

D 6.14
Theme: Garland
Modules: many :-)
SWF Tools module -> NO!!

I use many modules... should I deactivate them all?? :-(
What about multilanguage? Is there a problem?
What I find out is, that the video comment work !! ?? The webcam vid is shown. this is shown in the comment field :
[kaltura-widget media_type="video" comment="q3gk1srdvo" size="large" /]

What about input formats?

What about a WYSWYG Editor TinyMC.. could that be a problem?

It seems that the kaltura tag is kicked out.. the watchdog shows nothing.
In addition to that, nothing is shown in the Kaltura media list..

Hmm,

I know that Kaltura converts a media tag, in the node content, into a full-blown flashplayer, which is then initialised with JavaScript (SWFObject).

A possible issue could be that you are (for some reason) loading the same javascript twice, or that the javascript used by Kaltura conflicts with some other.

Is it possible to post your website's url, so I could take a closer look at the generated source code? Or is it possible that you might check for script errors?

I'm still puzzled, if the issue is situated in the drupal module which doesn't convert the Kaltura media tag, or the javascript which doesn't initialise the player correctly.

Hi roB2009,

Nice work! I'm glad I could point you in *some* direction :)

I've implemented the Kaltura Community Server combined with the Drupal AIO Video module. The drupal side uses the advanced contrib wizard, and remix wizard, to be able to create stunning video's!

Hi Kim,
How did you include the advanced contrib wizard? Where do you put the scripts? I saw a sample in the kalturaCE directory but...
How to combine the drupal module, the new advanced contrib wizard and kalturaCE?

Were to put the files? Put them to the drupal module? Or on the kalturaCE-Server?

Try to find the following piece of code in [Kaltura AIO drupal module]/kaltura_client/kaltura_settings.php

define('KalturaSettings_UICONF_ID', 600);
define('KalturaSettings_BASE_WIDGET_ID', 600);
define('KalturaSettings_ANONYMOUS_USER_ID', "Anoniem");
define('KalturaSettings_CW_UICONF_ID', 601);
//define('KalturaSettings_SE_UICONF_ID', 603);
define('KalturaSettings_SE_UICONF_ID', 47400);

These numbers represent the widget IDs of the kaltura contrib wizard. 47400 is the advanced editor, instead of the default one (603).

Hope to helped you,

Kim
