Utilizing KCW on KalturaCE?
Sat, 05/30/2009 - 17:38
Any thought to allow use of this player with CE?
Or does it already and I dont know how?
I would like to try the webcam piece with CE. I have Red5 running already.

To patch the code and enable using Red5 - Add a symbolic link to the webcam directory in the katluraCE path;
Create a symbolic link from the oflaDemo directry (or other folder that you customized Red5 save recorded streams to, usually: red5/webapps/oflaDemo) to the webcam folder in the kalturaCE (/ kalturaCE/content/webcam) .
Than you need to change the kcw uiConf (for the sample implementation: content/uiconf/kaltura/samplekit/kcw_2.6.4) to add the webcam UI:
- Edit the uiConf xml.
- Inside the MediaProviders tag add the following:
<service>
<id>2</id>
<type>webcam</type>
<authMethodList>
<authMethod>1</authMethod>
</authMethodList>
<moduleUrl>WebcamView.swf</moduleUrl>
<name>Webcam</name>
<logo/>
<customData>
<serverUrl>rtmp://{HOST_NAME}/oflaDemo</serverUrl>
</customData>
<media>
<type>video</type>
</media>
</service> - If your Red5 is installed to listen on a special port or another server, change the "rtmp://{HOST_NAME}/oflaDemo" url to your Red5 recording application url.

Thanks Kalturian,
But I can not locate uiConf.xml in content/uiconf/kaltura/samplekit/kcw_2.6.4
i have kcw_samplekit.xml there , but it does not follow the above format.

kcw_samplekit.xml is the file to edit (considering the sample implementation kcw is the one you would like to change, if not edit one of the other on content/uiconf/kaltura/).
And the code should look like this (Sorry, the code I posted before is for an older version :) )
<provider id="webcam" name="webcam" code="2">
<authMethodList>
<authMethod type="1" />
</authMethodList>
<moduleUrl>WebcamView.swf</moduleUrl>
<customData>
<serverUrl>rtmp://{HOST_NAME}/oflaDemo</serverUrl>
</customData>
</provider>
<authMethodList>
<authMethod type="1" />
</authMethodList>
<moduleUrl>WebcamView.swf</moduleUrl>
<customData>
<serverUrl>rtmp://{HOST_NAME}/oflaDemo</serverUrl>
</customData>
</provider>

That all works and I can now see the webcam , record button etc.... and it looks like all ok as you go through the wizard.
But then the video disapears - just a kind of sun icon - cant see video anywhere in server process and this in error log

The USERID reference looks funny? File size is 0
I can playback in webcam, so it saves.
Does not create thumbnail and the video is not coverting. Red5 is good, I can record and save.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help

It seems that the script couldn't find the file that was recorded...
To make sure, you created a symbolic link from the streams folder of Red5 (where the videos files are saved during recording) to the webcam folder in the kalturaCE (/kalturaCE/content/webcam) ?

my sym link
ln -s /usr/local/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/streams /var/www/html/kalturaCE/content/webcam
Wed, 06/10/2009 - 08:07

you might want to check that the oflademo streams folder is a symlink to the kalturaCE webcam folder, not the other way around (that was what I did initially! :-) now it works).
Wed, 06/10/2009 - 09:57
#10
that's correct: ln -s dest-to-point-to src
so to be sure, daniel, did it work for you ?

I have tried both ways, verified permissions.
I am seeing that it seems I am getting an error before all that regarding partnerID and not a valid value.
Undefined property: KalturaConfiguration::$partnerId in /var/www/html/kalturaCE/kaltura/api_v3/web/sample/lib/KalturaClientBase.php on line 41,
Is there a way to add the kcw from this to wp all in one?
I have scoured the code and do not see an option to add webcam
Sat, 06/13/2009 - 17:23
#12
Ok, I have tried link both ways
I even figured out how to make the wp all in one plugin to use the kcw 1.65CE instead of the 1.4?
So now I have a partnerID, no error there.
What I still get is ...

Do you see the file being created on the kalturaCE/content/webcam directory ?
You should see a file with a GUID name (something like: 03A906EB-184A-9558-7597-DA9659E642C2.flv).
Test this by opening the folder, opening the kcw and start recording, you should see a new file created and that its size is getting bigger as you record.

I am in process of rebuilding the server. Going to redo the install process of everything.
It could have ended up being a permission issue somewhere, so easier at the present point to just redo everything.
I will update.
Thanks for your help.

cdaniel,
please do the following:
- remove the content/webcam folder (link ?)
- create content/webcam folder (make sure it gets 777 permissions)
- cd /usr/share/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/
- ln -s /home/pickle/public_html/site1/public/kalturaCE/content/webcam ./streams
That's the settings on our server, the streams folder of red5 is a sym link to content/webcam folder in kaltura
Please let me know if it works.

For anyone who is reading this thread after me, I had the same problem as described above (I had apache already installed) . I was trying to use webcam with FMS dev server and was getting permission denied error. Eventually I had to change the owner:group of FMS application to be same as that of apache. With that done, the permission denied errors were gone and I'm able to record video from webcam using the instructions given by kaltura. Kaltura rocks!
Full integration with Red5 is not finished on the alpha version so it is not available yet.
