If you download and compare the two modules
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/kaltura-6.x-1.5.tar.gz
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/kaltura-6.x-2.x-dev.tar.gz

You will find that in-fact this is the same source, no differences at all.

What should be instead is that:
1.5 will be 1.4 only with the iframe issue fixed.
and 2.x will stay the same as it is...

They look different to me?

They are different, but Zohar is correct that the 1.5 series incorrectly included code which was compatible only with Kaltura's 2.x series of servers.

This would have been causing trouble for people who have existing KalturaCE 1.x setups, as raised in #858546: Compatability issues between KalturaCE v1.5 and Drupal Kaltura 6.x-1.5.

Accordingly, I've reverted kaltura-DRUPAL-6--1 to the 1.4 codebase (which was the code for KalturaCE 1.x) and then applied the fixes from #358937: node_kaltura table schema doesn't support nid's > 65535 and #392736: Remove hidden stats iframes. This will be available as 1.x-dev shortly.

I suggest we include an update kaltura_update_6001() which directs people to review their installed Kaltura version and links to a documentation page here.

That documentation page should say something like -
* Sites using Kaltura SaaS should use the 2.x series (Zohar tells me this is the majority of users)
* Sites using 1.x KalturaCE setups should stick to the 1.x series.
* Sites using Kaltura EE should identify their correct KalturaEE version via support channel and select the correct version, 1.x or 2.x.

I spoke to Zohar yesterday to ask if there's any version information displayed in the Kaltura interface (I couldn't find it). I understand there is not, so we'll need to document clearly for people how to tell which version of Kaltura they are using.

From our conversation I understand that KalturaCE 1.x sites will contain "kmc" in the URL when logged into KMC, and KalturaCE 2.x sites will have a URL containing "kmc2".

@Zohar, if there's any more readily apparent way for KalturaCE and KalturaEE sites to tell which version they are using, please speak up. I know you said 99% of EE sites are on 2.x already, but as a user of EE I'd rather know 100% than just 99% that I was on 2.x before I tried changing setups!

Is everyone happy with this plan of attack and resolution? If so I'll open release co-ordination issues for 1.6 and 2.0 and we can get them out shortly.
