Video Badge Setup

Hi All,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this subject in. I have searched for my topic, but I can't find any information about it. We are new to Kaltura, having just purchased the premium account after leaving Brightcove (BC). The terminology may be different from what we are used to with BC, so I hope I can bridge it a little and maybe find some common ground.
We used BC badges pretty heavily on our sites. A badge displays thumbnails of the videos along with text and clickable link back to the BC video/player. Is there anything like that with Kaltura? I have read up on the KDP widget, but that seems to be documentation for code to put inside the player/playlist module. See Kaltura Document
Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the response. I think I will take a little deeper look at the Kaltura API and will probably contact someone at Kaltura. How do I get an MRSS feed set up? I can't find it in the control panel area. I would like to be able to syndicate a playlist, parse the feed, and build a badge if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, there is nothing build into the Kaltura Framework to automatically generate a MRSS feed. You will need to create a script that generates the feed using the API. You will also need to write a script to generate the
"badge".

Kaltura Server does provide builtin playlist MRSS support - Generating entry list RSS and MRSS Playlists.
In addition, when creating a playlist using the KMC, this is in fact creating a url for a service that returns MRSS.
The KDP Playlist widget is actually working on MRSS (Yahoo Standard).

Well it is quite simple you just have to edit a few options or edit the base code of the small widget , just a simple line , like making some custom lapel pins just edit a little and you are done.
Hi Keith,
Welcome to the Kaltura Developers Community!
As you've got a premium account (i.e. you're a paying customer unlike most of us here) my first suggestion would be to contact Kaltura directly and liaise with one of their senior technicians so that they can get you up and running as quickly and as painlessly as possible.
To answer your question however, one possible solution would be to use the API to generate the thumbnail, and then use PHP to generate the text and link. The link would then point to the KDP. This is all fairly simple to do if you have some knowledge of PHP. Alternatively you could look into the Wordpress or Drupal implementation which will require less coding knowledge.
If you have any specific questions in terms of the best way to approach the PHP coding side of things, or any other questions for that matter - then please feel free to fire away!
Hopefully we can be of some help to you as you make the transition over to Kaltura! Although I haven't had that much experience with Brightcove - I can say however, that Kaltura is a completely different beast designed for different goals.
Good luck!
Best Regards, Chris!
