Upload limit of 200 MB in KalturaCE
Tue, 10/20/2009 - 21:23
I installed KalturaCE and hooked it up to Drupal, sweet setup. Worked like a charm.
I work at a high school district, and we produce a lot of video content. Much of our material is 500-1200 MB and often 60 minutes or longer. Hard to get that under 200 MB no matter how you do it, and it's really not practical to split videos up like this.
I've seen other discussions in the forums related to the upload limit, but they always seemed to reference a hosted version of Kaltura, I'm really hoping that increasing the limit for the CE version is possible. If not, it will break my heart, because this product seems to be a perfect platform for hosting all the video needs for my entire district.

Ido, where is this file? More info, please.

Pretty please give us more info, i tried to google it, I searched my files, searched the API documentation, but I found no clue...
Please what is the correct location of uiconf file in KalturaCE for drupal plugin (I suppose /kalturaCE/content/uiconf/kaltura/drupal/ ???) and what is the name of the variable that affects the upload limit?
Thank you

But I'll be darned if I can figure out where to make this change, I cannot even find information about the format of the UIConf file and all it's available options.
I did find several references to flashvars named maxFileSize, but they are on the drupal side of things.
Anyone got any tips for how to do this?
Thanks,
Dave

I have changed the maximum file size using Adobe Flex Builder.
In the latest ksu project (http://www.kaltura.org/project/Simple_Media_Uploader_Widget) you can find the UploadModelLocator.as file. You have to find the maxFileSize var and change the value 1000
Now, you have to rebuild the project and rewrite the ContributionWizard.swf and UploadView.swf of your kcw widget with the new ContributionWizard.swf and UploadView.swf generated.

Hello Trocolo,
So even if we change the upload limit in Account >> Server settings >> Advanced settings to 500mb in the dropdown menu, it will have no impact on the actual upload settings on the KalturaCE server?
I don't have access to Adobe Flex builder, is there a way that the modified files can be shared so we can just drop them in?

Sorry, but even changing the maxFileSize attribute with Flex Builder, I can't upload files succesfully. I can start the upload process to kalturaServer, the KCW don't show me an error message, but the file isn't transformed to flv.
I think the maxFileSize attribute is only used in the KCW interface, but kalturaCE must have an internal attribute (to change Account >> Server settings >> Advanced settings don't work).

Hi,
I've found there's a general upload limit as an advanced property in the KMC (admin console).
You can generate a new custon uconfigid in the API Test Console (you have to get an admin session, and add a new uconfigid)
Check:
1. http://wiki.kaltura.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
2. http://www.kaltura.com/api/testme
Regards,
Anibal

I know how to change the upload limit in the advanced properties under KMC. That has no effect on the upload limit. I'll need help understanding what "generate a new custon uconfigid in the API Test Console" means.
?? ;-) Paul

You can create specific KCW with custom configuration. You could look at the database field ui_conf where list the different Widgets. There is a property where your custom widget (a new id will be generated) points to the new ui_conf.
You can customize a widget, there are many posts in the community talking about.
Anyway, it is not well explained how the max file size works. We have these conclusions.
- We think the server setting does not work how it seems.
- We could not achieve to set up the size limit through the ui_conf xml file.
- Deploying a new compiled KCW, setting the maxFileSize on the UploadModelLocator.as file, remove a KCW restriction. However, it seems that there is other restriction on the server side, we cannot find out how to fix it.
I hope, it can help you.

I've created a fully new uiconfid, setting the max size limit. You just need to play with the API Test console (admin session, and add uiconf).

As far as I can tell (I've tried many things, including advice from Kaltura's professional services), changing this upload limit is impossible... with v1 of KCW. KCW v2.x (aka Andromeda) adds a section to the uiconf which includes a file size limit.
You can use the Testme Console (http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testme/), login (adminUser->login), then check out uiconfid 614 for an example (uiConf->get).
I have tried this and it definitely removes to 200MB upload limit. The v2 KCW is a bit nicer anyway, so if you can go this way, I would recommend it. One caveat is that I've only used KCW v2 to create simple media entries (a single video). I had some problems when I tried to use it to create a mix, but I might have just been doing something wrong.

hi chris,
thanks for you post. i've posted 318MB (40 min H264 mp4) video and Kaltura's only registering 26 mins of 40.. any ideas why? does this relate to the limits in uiConf?

Reviving this thread as I've run into a similar restriction, although not 200MB, mine conks out at just below 1GB on KalturaCE 2.0.
I've changed the size in apache, php and in the KMC Integration/advanced settings to 4GB with no effect.
I've had a look at the uiconf in the DB and it seems that there's no conf file path to the config XML file registered with the KMC that's being loaded.
So I've checked the on-the-fly generated uiConf, and it shows the limitations as such:
<limitations>
<upload>
<singleFileSize min="-1" max="-1"/>
<numFiles min="-1" max="100"/>
<totalFileSize min="-1" max="-1"/>
</upload>
<search>
<numFiles min="-1" max="-1"/>
</search>
</limitations>
<upload>
<singleFileSize min="-1" max="-1"/>
<numFiles min="-1" max="100"/>
<totalFileSize min="-1" max="-1"/>
</upload>
<search>
<numFiles min="-1" max="-1"/>
</search>
</limitations>
I guess -1 means infinite in this context?
I haven't found any more places to change anything.
How can I increase the actual upload limit?

I'm having the same issue 1 gig is the max. Though It does seem that at times it will allow me to upload a 1.25 gig file.
I did find this...
http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kmc/kmc2help#contentSection23
In section 2.2.2 it says....
User Upload Limit-
By default users can upload files up to 150 MB per file. This can be changed here (setting>Integration settings>Advanced Settings). Note that users cannot upload more than 1GB, per session. E.g., setting the upload limit to 100MB allows users to upload up to 10 files at a time.
So I guess the 1gb is set in there somewhere but I don't know where. I am using firefox and when I try to upload a 1gb file it just gives me a "!". The thing that is weird is that in my other tabs in firefox (youtube, other sites, etc...) all of the flash elements in these pages also have a "!". So I wonder if the problem isn't the flash player? I tries Safari and it doesn't give me the "!", but it just hangs...

Hmm, so I guess I'll either have to roll my own HTML file upload form or try the FTP / Bulk Import thing again, although that failed for some reason last time I tried.
If I write my own and its not too elaborate, I'll post the code here.

If you do write a code let me know...
There is whole library available with the KSU....

is it possible to edit the total file sizes for publisher accounts?
e.g. the publisher XY is just allowed to upload 2gb at all?

Hi All,
anyone know whether this upload limit has been expanded in CE 4. I just hit a wall uploading longform films. We need to upload mpgs in the 3-4 gb range...
Surely Kaltura with their long list of studios (WB, Universal, PBS) is supporting longform on the hosted version... This is a big disappointment.
thanks...

Hi All,
Has anyone made any progress on this? We're having this same issue. We're running Kaltura CE 4 on CentOS with Red5 as the uploader. We don't get stuck at 200mb, but 412mb. If there is a solution to this, it'd be great for the community to share it. Thanks for taking the time to respond to this.
Hopeful...
Eric

Hi guys,
Did you setup the KMC Settings to more than 200gb?
What are the specifications of your client uploading system?
Mon, 12/12/2011 - 15:01
#26
Is it possible to increase the max file upload size up to about 2-4 GB?
At the moment a 1,7 GB file can't be uploaded.

no idea or statement of kaltura?

any ideas?
The 200MB is just the default setting - you can change it in the KCW's uiconf.
