la verdad esperaba mas , esperaba algo que me pudiera dar una sincronizacion con el sistema de vigilancia AJAX system para poder ayudar me con el circuito cerrado de mi casa por otro lado pense que seria mas sencillo pero veo que fue mas dificil de lo que crei sobre todo por la interfaz casi nula de entender espero que mejoren suerte.

Sure, you can go through the tedious process of registering with Kaltura, but it won’t do you any good. This plug-in is just plain broken – and no one at Kaltura will answer anything here – or on their own support pages, for that matter. If you PAY Kaltura for their services, MAYBE they’d be interested in helping you. Open source? That’s just a joke.

Want to have a Kaltura-hosted video play in WordPress? Well, this plug in works a bit – you can actually get a Kaltura video to play in your WP site, but it won’t play nicely with any other video content you might want to post that’s hosted anywhere else. You can’t style the presentation much, and the thumbnail feature is broken.

Also, the Kaltura plug’s iteration of their proprietary video player inserts a half-dozen spammy Kaltura links to their own video products. Oh yeah, and the plug-in’s controls that allegedly disable comments don’t work, either. You could probably fix all of this by going into the plug’s code, but I don’t think that’s much of a practical solution.

Check out this plug’s Support section – not much there, and nothing recent, either. Stay away, unless you want to waste a lot of your time.

It seems the Kaltura team is back at it again, and i don’t mean that as a positive statement.

The horror show that is the update to All-In-One version 2.5 wordpress plugin. There are so many things wring with this update, it’s hard to know where to start. SO i’ll give a typical scenerio.

Installing:
There is absolutely NO documentation for configuring the ” settings.ini” file. The default values are horribly wrong in most cases. If you have CE5, you’ll need to change ALL the ID numbers. Every last one. PERIOD!
Alas, the intellectual giants that developed this monstrosity fail to even HINT at where these magic Conf ID’s come from. With kaltura’s default install, you’ll have more than 100 UI Conf ID’s listed. Good luck guessing the correct one.

If you are using CE5, get ready to feel the pain. Once you’ve managed to get the conf id’s correct, you’re still out of luck. The editor-side selection of videos will actually work. However, once added to your post, the player itself will not be visible on the live page. Just a big fat blank NOTHING where the video player SHOULD be.

CE6, you’ll have it a little better, once it’s properly set up, you MIGHT be able to see the videos in your page.

Updating from Previos version (2.4.4 i believe) Will present a nightmare.

Unlike EVERY DECENT PLUGIN for wordpress. This one adds a table to the database (for the widget), as well as adds about 6 – 8 entries into the wordpress options table. Seems legit, however, if you uninstall the plugin. It doesn’t remove these settings. Which means when you reinstall, yer borked, if you update, you’re borked.

you will need to MANUALLY remove these from the database. YAY Sql fans! Boo anyone without proper knowledge. You may inadvertently #! the entire site.

Now we move onto a more geek oriented subject.

IT’S SLOW!! It’s like trying to race a turtle if your a snail. A single video on your main page will bog the entire page down waiting for the player to load all the data. YAY DERPS!

It’s SHODDY CODE!
Turn on debugging, and enjoy the spectacle. several errors with the php code itself. The code isn’t nececerily bad, just many outdated strings. Using functions improperly, and not sanity checking code to prevent blank-page-of-doom is bad. Trap your errors silly.

So… as a recap, and possible solutions:
a) Installation:
Add a readme file that ISN’T 4 – 6 years old and default from version 1.0 of the script / kaltura.

b) Upgrade:
Create an uninstall script to remove the entries made by plugin in the wp_options table. also, remove the table created by the widget portion of the plugin.

c) Performance:
Instead of calling on Kaltura for every bit of information, preemptively upload thumbnail, and any other static yet small data points to a temp directory within the plugin, or an addition directory within the wp-content structure. Slimline some of the scripts, or data actually accessed to speed up page loading. i.e. You don’t need to gather ALL data in an array, then later strip 99% of it out. clean it up.

D) Performance 2:
Update your syntax and coding practices. If you’re coding for php v1.4.2 you’ll have problems with depreciated functions, and syntax if the plugin is run on php v5.x. Should probably repackage the plugin with several flavors for diferent PHP versions. I’m not saying make 300 versions. but just the one’s needed. i.e. php 4.x 5.x etc…

Don’t bother with this plugin, outdated with to many issues.

I read other neg comments but still gave it a try (thought I could code the bugs out of it) but instead I just wasted 1 hour of my life.

This plugin is abandoned… and you should abandonee this page!

Not working, make a “Fatal error” on the plugin activation.

The last update to this plugin was June 11 2012. Before that, it was Dec 29th 2011. It should be considered abandonware due to the lack of updates.

The lack of updates has resulted in an unstable plugin. The plugin uses deprecated functions such as get_settings (deprecated since version 2.1!). And contains other oddities that go against best practices such as require_once(‘../../../wp-load.php’);

Kaltura is a large company and calls its product an “Open Source Online Video Platform”. It is really unfortunately that they seem uninterested in maintaining this plugin.

[Please stop posting in uppercase. It’s the electronic equivalent of shouting and is considered quite rude. Post title de-capped.]

I’m not sure how the developers (Kaltura) expect to charge for a service that is broken and was reported as broken six months ago.

The plugin touts repeatedly that it works with WordPress Multisite – it does not. It breaks the Network admin – complete blank of every part of the Network administration section. The only way to get back into it is to disable the plugin or FTP in and delete it.

I have installed this plugin on my 3.3.2 version WordPress site. I can use it as admin and be able to see the icon on above the tool bar. But when I login as contributor I don’t see the icon.

Why is that?
