Bevan commentedThere is some code that I expect will be contributed that integrates Kaltura v4 with Media module for Drupal 7. I will post more news here when I have it
Comment #2
Bevan commentedThis D7 Module exposes a field formatter "Kaltura Video with MediaElement" if the MediaElement module is also enabled.
If File type display settings (or the regular Field display configuration) is configured to use the formatter, and the Kaltura server integration settings have been configured (
admin/config/media/kaltura) then the module will attempt to add a thumbnail from the video as a<video poster="">attribute and one<source>element for each KaltureFlavorAssetthat has successfully been converted from the original source file. (The module also sends the original file to Kaltura and maintains a map of Drupal File IDs to Kaltura Entry IDs.)The zip file includes the Kaltura Client API classes.
boztek deserves most of the credit for this work.
The module needs review, testing, a maintainer and a more permanent home.
Since the module does not actually care whether or not Media module or even File Entity modules are used, I am not sure that "Media: Kaltura" is the correct name for it. The module also does not require MediaElement. Though without MediaElement module all it currently does is send the files to Kaltura for processing, and not render them for use on the front-end. It could readily be extend to expose a formatter that uses the Kaltura player instead.
Comment #3
davidseth commentedHey Bevan,
You should push this into a sandbox at least so any comments can be added and tracked. It would make the code more easily grabb-able as well!
Thanks for your and @boztek's work.
Cheers,
David

Bevan commentedNote that the module attached in comment #2 has a security vulnerability. Do not use it on production sites till that has been fixed.

Zohar.Babin commentedComment #7
Zohar.Babin commentedTried setting up the D7 sandbox from http://drupal.org/sandbox/tim.plunkett/1678276
Couldn't make it work though, are there any special steps to enable this?
Is it capable of integrating with the Kaltura module to get a library of content/upload/etc.?
Comment #8
Bevan commentedNeither version of media_kaltura integrates with Kaltura module. Kaltura module is a different implementation—an alternative to media_kaltura.
I believe the main differences are that Kaltura module is more mature and stable while media_kaltura is not stable, but is more generalised/abstract and integrates with any fieldable entities, while Kaltura module only integrates with nodes.
Comment #9
jody lynnI committed a new 7.x-1.x branch into git. It's working for me and includes thumbnail support.
I didn't use Bevan's code as it is not related to media module- Bevan you should release your code into a separate module or sandbox as modules named as 'Media: foo' are meant to be provider integrations to the media module.
My version is working for what I need (add Kaltura videos via media module, and include width/height settings and thumbnail support) but would love to get some reviews before showing it as a snapshot on the project.
Comment #10
tim.plunkettI reviewed the code and only found coding style tweaks, with no functional changes (except to the body of media_kaltura_ctools_plugin_api()).
Comment #11
jody lynnI committed Tim's tweaks and am posting a dev release.
Please open follow-up issues separately.
