Hi,
Is it possible to set the title of the media being uploaded so that the user doesn't have to type it it? I have the KCW loaded in a stand-alone PHP that already asks for users First and Last name, and I would like to set the title of the media upload to their First and Last name in the wizard.
Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

I would scrap the KCW and use the KSU, or a custom API call (i.e "upload").

Thanks Chris. I would use the KSU, but ideally our contributors like the wizard approach of the KCW and the built-in webcam recording option. How would this be possible using the KSU (other than re-building the KCW interface)? I'm guessing there is not way to assign the Title programmatically using the KCW, correct?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delayed reply...

How is the KCW being called? Are people accessing the KCW from the KSE/KAE, or are they activating the KCW via some other means (i.e. a button or link on your site).

What you could do is write some simple PHP that changes the Title of the media AFTER it has been uploaded and added to the Kaltura Network (or Kaltura CE). I'm not sure how this would work with the KSE/KAE though, as I haven't played around too much with how the two communicate between each other... One possible workaround might be to simply RELOAD the whole KSE/KAE after new media is added via the KCW.

Does that make sense at all?
