Using Drupal Module with KalturaCE is giving me strange screen

I have a strange problem i'm hoping someone can help me with. I have installed KalturaCE successfully, can get to the KMC, upload and download videos. Everything on the server side works perfectly...

Prior to this, i was using Kaltura's shared service but quickly ran out of space so decided to setup my own linux server (Fedora 13) with XAMMP for linux .

Since i already had the Drupal module configured and working, all i did was update the module to 6.x1.5. I then changed the server integration settings to reflect that i was now serving videos, entered the correct email and password in the partner id area. I have 4 green checks indicating that everything is ok. So I am assuming that the Drupal module sees my Kaltura server.

When I try to create any content, the page just hangs and never does anything. I have a feeling it has to do with some old pointers or some old database settings that are still pointing to Kaltura's server instead of mine but i dont know where to look. There are still some old nodes that i created when i first installed Kaltura to work with their shard solution. I can view them but obviously, they do not work any more. They only disly a thumbnail of the video?

any ideas?

Can i clear the SQL database of any records of videos since they are no longer available?

I would delete all previous media content from the Drupal, uninstall the drupal module, make sure you're suing the latest module version (preferably the 2.x.dev version since it was tested with CE 2) and install again.

Can you provide a live link?

Kalturian,

I had so much trouble installing 1.5 KalturaCE, that i was hesitant to start over installing KalturaCE2 especially since it is working fine...

so I un-installed the drupal Kaltura module, re-installed Kaltura module using a tarball patch (6.x-1.4) that applies fixes from #358937: node_kaltura table schema doesn't support nid's > 65535 and #392736: Remove hidden stats iframes.

STEPS:
un-installed existing Kaltura 6.x-1.4
deleted the kaltura folder from the modules folder
ran update.php
copied Kaltura 6.x-1.4 patch module
enabled module
changed the file kaltura_client/kaltura_settings.php to match my KalturaCE site URL

everything looked good and got green checkmarks. Logged in as admin, went to create content/kaltura media node
Browse, uploaded a video, clicked on finish and done.

The video gets uploaded to the KalturaCE server and i can play it from the server. BUT... It does not show up as content in Drupal, and does not show up in recently added videos?

any ideas???

Hi,

Running on the legacy 1.5 is highly not recommended - 2.x version is stable, mature and being maintained.
I would install 2.x on the side, see that things are working then move to use it.

Kalturian,

What should i expect when upgrading from 1.5 to 2.x? Is it fairly straight forward upgrade or is it a complete do-over starting from scratch. Will i have problems since i'm using Fedora 13 and lamp 1.5. I dread the thought of having to start the whole process again....
