Hi All,
I am a new user to Kaltura, but we are moving to the service for our video needs and was charged with making the lecture capture software I wrote work with Kaltura. The software I wrote automates recordings so professors don't need to do anything other than tell us which classes need to be recorded so we are really trying to automate as much of this process as possible. So my question is whether or not uploading files can be done from within a C# application (not website). I saw somewhere that uploading could be done via a long html string, but can't seem to find that information again. Can this be done from within an application and where can I get full information on this. Thanks.

Sure it can be done directly from your C# app.
Just head to:
http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testme/client-libs.php
Download the Kaltura C# Client Library.
Unzip the client library, and open the following test sample file: KalturaClientTester\KalturaClientTester.cs
Take a look at this function: static void StartSessionAndUploadMedia(FileStream fileStream)
It'll show you how to upload your file and add it as a new Kaltura Entry.

Thanks for the help Kalturian. Looking at the example file now and it is helping a lot. Will start to integrate it into my app next week.
