Other: Kaltura Video Package
gonen r, 
Yael DovratKaltura's Video Package for Moodle 2.x makes it easy to add the robust capabilities of Kaltura's open
source online video platform to any Moodle site. The package was developed specifically for Moodle
and integrates with other features and modules, such as resources and activities, so that users can
upload and embed media easily.
The package adds the following features for all users:
* My Media: users’ personal media gallery, for uploading, viewing, managing, and sharing media
* Create screen recordings and use them in the Kaltura activities
* Integration as an external repository with the file picker accessible from the text editor: embed your media or media you have access to, anywhere you can author text
In addition, Teachers and Admins have the following features available:
* Video Resource activity: Easily add video content to your course as a specialized resource
* Video Presentation activity: Create a synchronized view of a Document and a Video
* Video Assignment activity: Allows students to submit videos as an assignment submission
* View engagement reports for videos used on your course
Version information:
Please take note of the version of Moodle you have and the version of the plug-in you are installing. The Download page states which version of Moodle the version of the plug-in is for.
Version information example: Kaltura release 3.0.96 (RL: 2.5.1.1)
3.0.96 is the version of the plug-in that Kaltura has release. It does not correspond to any Moodle version number and it should be referenced when contacting Kaltura support.
RL: 2.5.1.1 is our internal version. The first two points (2.5) correspond to the version of Moodle that it has been tested with (Moodle 2.5.x).
Here's the documentation:
https://knowledge.kaltura.com/sites/default/files/Kaltura_Video_Package_4_0_for_Moodle_Installation_Upgrade_Guide.pdf
In short - you need to extract the zip at the root of your moodle installation, and go to the notifications page in admin.
It seems to us that, assuming Moodle doesn't change the new navigation block behavior in 3.2 (which I actually think they should.... it's messed up in 3.2), the Kaltura plugin should be updated to place the Kaltura Media Gallery link with the course's actual links in the navigation block.
And incidentally, in the new Boost theme, the Kaltura Media Gallery link doesn't appear at all in the new lefthand side drawer. That would seem to be another problem.
Thanks... Brian
If this is related to the v4.0.11 Kaltura plugin, it would be much faster to go through Kaltura Customer Care to get that fixed.
In general, a better place to report issues would be the github repository of the plugin - https://github.com/kaltura/moodle_plugin/issues
I installed the plugin on Moodle 3.1. I filled the credentials. But I want to enter on My Media and appear the following: "500: Internal Error
This website is unavailable at the moment"... I am using a server in HostGator. Please, some idea of the error ?
Best regards,
It would be best to contact Kaltura Customer Care as we may need more details or an online session with one of our engineers to help you with the installation.
If you have a CSM in Kaltura you can also contact through your CSM.
In mod/kalviassign/locallib.php #272
Function kalvidassign_get_graders gets potential graders with this function call:
$potgraders = get_users_by_capability($context, 'mod/kalvidassign:gradesubmission', '', '', '', '', '', '', false, false);
However this results in emails being sent to all of our category level role assignments. To follow the policy in core moodle, only users enrolled on the course should get emails and the call should be:
$potgraders = get_enrolled_users($context, "mod/kalvidassign:gradesubmission", null, 'u.*', null, null, null, true);
If you are using the 4.x version (KAF-based), please open an issue either in the repository (https://github.com/kaltura/moodle_plugin) or through customer care so this issue will be solved in our module and you would not have to rely on a local fix that might get overridden again.
We will need more details on how to setup the scenario where additional irrelevant users get the email notification.
Thanks,
Gonen
Since recently plugins need the KAF, these do not work well with Kaltura Community Edition.
And, since the previous plugins use Flash to upload a media, we cannot upload the media from mobile devices.
In order to upload and play the media from various web browsers and mobile devices, we have developed a plugin that does not use KAF, Flash and Java, based on the Kaltura Video Package v3.1.02.
Currently, our plugin is used with the Moodle 2 and 3 in our university.
The timing is yet to be determined, but we want to release our plugin in the future.
I have a non-KAF plugin package for Kaltura CE.
But, I made many changes to plugins, for example, non-Flash uploader to upload image/audio/movie files, view access log page of media resource, access control setting to kaltura contents, view embed code of each content in mymedia, and so on.
And, some plugins have been renamed.
Thanks Andrew,
I have updated video assignment plugin, fixed a issue of course backup/restore, modified submission/grading status page, use new uploader for smart phones and tablet devices.
So, there are some differences from original plugin.
Depends what you're referring to.
Kaltura has a CE package (server) that you can freely install and run, but it can only work with the old plugin version (3.1.x) or whatever built by the community (for example - when what @Tomoya Saito will be published).
Kaltura SaaS has a free trial which you can use with the KAF-based plugin (v4.0.x) but the trial is limited to 10GB usage after which you will need to purchase a license.
