Kaltura Video Platform error

Hi,

I have the server installed now but I am unable to upload. I have attached a screen shot of the entries in process.

I tried uploading a flv file, avi file and a wmv file. All failed.

Has anyone encountered this error?

Thanks

I also can not get an video to upload, but all of the rest of the system seems to be working in the Community Edition.

I am running on a Fedora 8 system under Vmware with 2 virtual cpu's and 1024 of ram, using Firefox 3.0.10.

Anyone have ideas?

Please use the investigate feature on the entries in the errors list.
The investigate panel will help you find out more specific details about a conversion or import fails..

You can also upload your log here and we'll try to help you out.

These entries in the error_log seem to relate to KalturaCE. Additiionally, not knowing what entries you mean does not help me to use the investigate tool.

You can see the effect at my site when accessing the UGC siter page here. http://fringecorpwiki.thruhere.net:8080/kalturaCE/api_v3/sample/add_medi..., which does the same from the management console.

If you are online sometime, I'd appreciate a chat at sandy3269@yahoo.com, as I get technically up to speed on this seemingly great product.

In the URL you have posted it looks like you are running on port 8080.
Unfortunately the system is currently limited to running on port 80 only.

if you track the page you have posted ( http://fringecorpwiki.thruhere.net:8080/kalturaCE/api_v3/sample/add_medi... ) via firebug you can see the flash component is looking for some swf files without the port, and can not find them.

http://fringecorp.thruhere.net/kalturaCE/content/uiconf/kaltura/sampleki... - not found
http://fringecorp.thruhere.net:8080/kalturaCE/content/uiconf/kaltura/sam... - found.

for now try installing on port 80, we will hopefully have a fix for alternative ports soon.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but I am running it on port 80. I use my firewall to route anything coming into my site, but on port 8080, to port 80 on the server within my intranet. This way I have access from various locations outside.

Everything seems to work, so I'm hoping the newly released 1.01 version fixes this issue.

Thx.

Abbey, the screenshot is of the "Entries In progress" screen - use the Investigate to get more information about a specific entry.

Looks like it failed to get the youtube file to me. Can you connect to youtube from your server?

But i am still new to this application.

can you upload a video directly and have it convert?

Hi,

It failed to import the flv from youtube.
Can you please attach the investigate of the file upload as well ? (in file upload the process is different).

In the read-me, under the "Reading logs and Investigating" section, you can find the path to the batch logs.

Could you sent me (to zohar.babin[at]gmail[dot]com or you can also clean it from personal data and upload here) the following logs:
kaltura_batch.log
{machine_name}-batchImportServer.log
{machine_name}-batchWatch.log

I've just finished bringing online the Unbuntu VmWare appliance that was recently released, and I am happy (NOT!) to report that it fails to upload in the exact same manner that the version I installed manually under Fedora 8 does.

Any help?

Guys,

For those of you who use the alpha 1.0 version - please upgrade to alpha 1.01 - an issue that reminds your behavior found and fixed in the 1.01 release.
Others that did use 1.01 - please re-download and re-install (we had a problem in the bundling system and we had to repack the kalturaCE).

Please report back

sorry for the hassle,
Gonen

Hi,

After re-installing 1.01, I am now able to upload. Conversion is successful too. However playback only works when I edit the the uploaded file. Preview or embedding produces a blank space in the player.

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks
