Doesn't really work
-
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.
