I downloaded and installed the kdp skin test with kalturians skin and when I load the page, it shows the default player.

Code:

var flashvars = {};
//DEFINE CUSTOM SKIN URL -
flashvars['full.skinPath'] = "http://exchange.kaltura.com/sites/exchange.kaltura.com/files/applications/releases/Kalturian/25/LightDoodleskin.swf";

var params = {};
params.quality = "best";
params.wmode = "opaque";
params.allowfullscreen = "true";
params.allowscriptaccess = "always";

var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "kdp3";
attributes.name = "kdp3";
attributes.styleclass = "player";
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/cache_st/1272234088/wid/_225762/uiconf_id/48120/entry_id/0_48kidm4c", "kdp3", "570", "380", "10.0.0", "jslib/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

THe lightdoodle skin does not load:

THEN,

I created a skin in flash and uploaded it to the exchange. The player at the end of uploading has the right skin however when I try to test it in the 'skin tester', it shows the default kaltura skin again.

Here is my code:

var flashvars = {};
//DEFINE CUSTOM SKIN URL -
flashvars['full.skinPath'] = "http://cdnexchange.kaltura.com/sites/exchange.kaltura.com/files/applications/releases/ldp101068/28/skin.swf";

var params = {};
params.quality = "best";
params.wmode = "opaque";
params.allowfullscreen = "true";
params.allowscriptaccess = "always";

var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "kdp3";
attributes.name = "kdp3";
attributes.styleclass = "player";
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/cache_st/1272234088/wid/_225762/uiconf_id/48120/entry_id/0_48kidm4c", "kdp3", "570", "380", "10.0.0", "jslib/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

What about the skin path in config.xml? Does that need to be changed as well? It is kind of important to have working sample code on your site. This not the only sample that doesn't work.

It is difficult to do an evaluation if you can see working functionality...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem. The documentation and example on skinning is horrible. I'm evaluating this for our company and its not looking so hot if the basic tutorials are not "fool proof".

I also do not get the doodle skin when I download the zip file containing the KDP3 Skin Test:
http://www.kaltura.org/sites/default/files/KDP3%20Skin%20Test.zip

I edited the default skin and saved it to the directory like the instructions said, edited the HTML file adding the file location both on my PC and I also uploaded all the files to my personal website and neither worked.

maybe the following code is the culprit.

flashvars['full.skinPath'] =
