Kaltura API
======================

An ActiveResource-like RESTful interface to the Kaltura API

You can copy the templates/kaltura.yml.template file into your Rails app as config/kaltura.yml.
Replace the values with your own partner info that you received from Kaltura.

Specs are to test the Kaltura API directly, not this library itself.

Kaltura Pre-requisites
======================

You will need to signup for a Kaltura partner account so you can setup kaltura.yml in your RAILS_ROOT/config (see 
templates/kaltura.yml.template).

A note about Kaltura "ks" sessions
======================

Kaltura's backend uses its own session system that is completely independent from the Rails session. Kaltura's 
implementation requires that some requests use a regular session id, and some use an 'admin' session id. We have 
attempted to completely encapsulate it in the API's lower-level calls so you don't need to worry about which kind to 
make (see Kshow#admin_session_for to see which ones require admin sessions). When using the SWFs in views you may need 
to specify a ks. We will be posting some examples shortly displaying Kaltura's views.

Code Pre-requisites
======================

* ActiveSupport
* ActiveResource

Please note that there is a small bug in ActiveResource, where it will not return the response data if the response 
contains unescaped %'s.  See patches/patch_for_activeresource_connection.rb for the fix.

Example
======================

# Creating a new Kshow:
ks = Kaltura::Kshow.new
ks.name = 'Example Kshow'
ks.puser_id = 'kaltura_user_id'
ks.save
