Webcam problem
Thu, 10/01/2009 - 10:43
I have a Red5-server and a KalturaCE upp and running togheter with a Wordpress blog.
I added webcam support to the samplekit and it works great. But when I do the same for my Wordpress blog somthing goes wrong.
The webcam is detected and I can see myself, but when I click the record button the button disapears and nothing else happens. The button for stopping the recording doesn't show up as it does in the samplekit. I have looked for error messages but nothing is reported.
Any ideas? Anyone having the same problem?

Yes, I've tried both IE and FF.
Nothing else shows up, just the absence of buttons, and the Next-button remains inactive. The webcam stream still works though, I can still see myself.
*EDIT* I find it especially strange since it works perfectly in the samplekit. Is'nt is the same .swf-files used inte interface for the samplekit and Wordpress? If it's not, that could perhaps explain it?

This is the code I added to enable the webcam for commenting in Wordpress:
<service>
<id>2</id>
<type>upload</type>
<authMethodList>
<authMethod>1</authMethod>
</authMethodList>
<moduleUrl>WebcamView.swf</moduleUrl>
<name>Webbkamera</name>
<logo/>
<media>
<type>video</type>
</media>
</service>
Also submitting a screenshot of my beard, taken after I pushed the record button.
**EDIT** I should also perhaps mention that the file i'm adding the code in is: ...kalturaCE/content/uiconf/kaltura/wordpress/cw_wordpress_comments.xml
**EDIT 2** The image doesn't seem to work...

In the /uiconf/kaltura/wordpress folder I edited the following files cw_wordpress.xml and cw_wordpress_in_se.xml and added the code for the webcam to those two files. I have found that the record /stop button not showing up was an issue with the RED5 and Kaltura not communicating properly. Mainly it was the rtmp URL entered in the code and the content/webcam folder needed to be a symbolic link to the RED5 folder. Once I straightened out that it all seemed to fall into place.
Did you try in different browsers? What do you see instead of the record button?
