I deleted my videos via the KMC but info and rankings for each are still showing up in my Remix Site project. How do I clear that out?
Also, when I try to create a remix and want to access videos that I have already uploaded to Kaltura via the KMC, my Kaltura username and password doesn't work. It says login failed. I've tried both my administrator login info and my CMS login info. Neither is working. Am I missing something?

This is one of the very confusing aspects of Kaltura at the moment.
The remix site is based around the concept of KShows. KShows are basically "containers". They contain "entries", such as video entries, remixes, sound, and graphics. Each video entry has a container (the container being the KShow). For more information have a read of an old forum entry:
http://community.kaltura.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=183
So... that's seems simple enough. Entries (regardless of what they are) are the childs of KShows.
However, the new version of the Kaltura API (version 3) no longer supports KShows. Therefore the KMC doesn't list KShows - it just lists entries (even though each entry is still wrapped inside a KShow behind the scenes).
So, when the remix site gets a list of remixes - it's actually getting a list of KShows. But, when the KMC gets a list of remixes - it's actually getting a list of entries.
When you delete an ENTRY from the KMC, it's only deleting the entry - not the KShow container.
The solution - well there isn't really one yet! One way would be to rewrite the Remix Site so that it no longer uses KShows. This is a project I've love to take on when I eventually find the time. The other solution is to just accept that the Remix Site uses KShows (despite the fact that they are depreciated as of API version 3), and use custom code, the TestMe console or the Dashboard to delete and manage entries.
To answer your second question, I've never been able to log in to Kaltura to search for entries that have been previously uploaded using the KCW. I have no idea what username and password this feature is referring to. My best guess is that this feature has never actually been completed and is still a work in progress. Can anyone from Kaltura confirm?
It's a bit confusing I know... but hopefully this helps a little bit! Good luck!
Best Regards, Chris!

Thanks for the response! Great explanation. That makes perfect sense. I think I'll go with the TestMe console to do my cleanup for now.
Anyone else have thoughts on question 2?
I'm using the KMC at http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/cms/dashboard and compared to the info on this page (http://www.kaltura.org/project/kmc) there are definitely some missing features, especially in the application studio. Is there a different version of the KMC?
