Targeting the correct KDP SWF Object
Wed, 05/20/2009 - 07:06
Still struggling to do a couple of basic KDP tasks:
a) Programmatic Control a KDP player from JavaScript
b) visually skinning a KDP player
In pursuit of those aims the question of the correct version of the SWF media for the KDP object came up.
<script type="text/javascript">
var params = {
allowscriptaccess: "always",
allownetworking: "all",
allowfullscreen: "true",
wmode: "opaque"
};
var flashVars = {
entryId: "wa5399nt92",
readyF: onKdpReady
};
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.kaltura.com/kwidget/wid/_26954", "myKdp", "640", "360", "9.0.0", false, flashVars, params);
</script>
var params = {
allowscriptaccess: "always",
allownetworking: "all",
allowfullscreen: "true",
wmode: "opaque"
};
var flashVars = {
entryId: "wa5399nt92",
readyF: onKdpReady
};
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.kaltura.com/kwidget/wid/_26954", "myKdp", "640", "360", "9.0.0", false, flashVars, params);
</script>
Does this remain a currently proscribed method of embedding KDP? How can I ensure that the SWF pointed to in kwidget/wid/ is current release?
Thanks,
Smallhands

My content is clearly getting an earlier version of the widget (1.2.3.22581) and hence several days of my "chasing rabbits" were actually all related to not using a widget supporting the "current" API.
SO....
A) Is this DOCUMENTED??? I still don't see how I am supposed to target widget 48110 or 48111. I am using the examples set forth in the Wiki which is shown in the thread above. I supply the partner ID and the content entry. But, neither the path nor any of the parameters appear to be specifying the widget version requested/required.
B) Is there a document which has the correspondence between widget # and version #???
If these issues are not documented I would contend that it is a critical hole in the documentation and new user orientation.
If the JS API is not supported under v2.0 it should be HARD for a newbie such as myself to unintentionally get there.
Respectfully,

I totally agree with smallhands. I had the exact same problem and couldn't figure out how to get the "current" version of KDP.
When I tried to find out how to get the current version, I saw all different versions, 1.2.3.22581, 2.0.12.28.25, 2.0.2, 2.0.7.27523
Which one is actual "CURRENT" version?
It took me a long time to figure out to get different KDP version by using different widget id. It didn't document anything about that in http://corp.kaltura.com/wiki/index.php/Guides:Playback How am I supposed to know to use widget 48110 or 48111?
smallhands,
Use this to target widget 48110
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/_{PARTNERID}/uiconf_id/48110", "kplayer", "400", "360", "9.0.0", false, flashVars, params);

Hey guys,
One of our major goals for the upcoming weeks is to improve our documentation to provide more elaborate and precise information.
Thank you for your comments, I can assure you they will be included.
Elad.
right-click it
it should show the version
if not - it is a very very old one (prior to 1.0)
the JS API works from v2.0 and above.
you can use widget 48110 or 48111 to get KDP version 2.0.2
