The Kaltura application MediaSpace. The API version 3.2.0 with client tag dotnet:15-05-14 is used to develop the connector.
Part of the Kaltura Client Library is copied and adjusted to fit connector functionality. All communication with the Kaltura platform is through the API.
Limitations
When changes are made in the Locator file templates (the way search hits are displayed and presented) the templates used in the connector should be adjusted get the best user experience. We have custom Kaltura templates for ViaWorks 2.6 and ViaWorks 2.7 SR1.
For indexing other items then videos, minor development changes needs to be made in the connector. Other items that can be stored in the Kaltura application includes audio, images and documents.
