Batch Jobs Not Working and Admin Console returning Error -1

5

I removed some logs and videos and now the Admin console is responding again :slight_smile: and yes I have the /opt/kaltura/web in the root partition, but not sure how to change to a different one:

I have an additional partition that I want to use for the videos:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 30G 8.5G 20G 30% /
/dev/sdb1 1.4T 70M 1.3T 1% /mnt

Can you help me with changing the /opt/kaltura/web to the partition /dev/sdb1?

BTW this is a all in one installation for Kaltura

Thanks!

Hi Juan Pablo,

Easiest way would be to move /opt/kaltura/web to /mnt/web and then create a symlink from /opt/kaltura/web pointing to /mnt/web. It is very very important that when you copy the files onto their new location, you preserve their original permissions [mode and ownership].

Hi Jess, sorry for the delay on this, I was facing some issues with the VM disks first (also with the end of the year celebrations :stuck_out_tongue: ) and now Im able to try the configurations, but also I will try to change my question… which is the best option for storing a big number of videos? adding more space to a OS disk, or we can use a S3 or Azure storage schema with Kaltura? I’ve checked this post: https://www.panda-os.com/blog/2012/11/kaltura-ce-amazon-s3-storage-cloudfront-cdn-setup/#.Uy_7KHUW3h_ but it will be great to have your recommendation.

(I can put the question in a different thread if that helps)

Thanks in advance and happy new year! :slight_smile:

Hi @juanpanie

Happy new year to you as well:)
You can, and depending on your traffic and geo distribution, probably SHOULD export your media content onto a remote storage and then serve it from CDN. With Amazon, you can export to an S3 bucket and use CloudFront for serving the content.

Out of the box, Kaltura supports creating remote storage profiles that can export the content using S3, SFTP and FTP [though FTP is not recommended for several reasons]. I never used Azure for that but if it’s capable of using SFTP then it should also work out of the box.

Once that’s done, you also need to create a delivery profile so that the content is served from CDN.
You can configure the remote storage profile so that files exported to the remote storage are then deleted from the local content dir/NFS volume [/opt/kaltura/web/content] but be aware that if you do so, you will not be able to reconvert these source files or perform other operations like trimming and clipping.

Either way, you want to leave a healthy amount of free space on your Kaltura nodes root partition and the /opt/kaltura/web/content partition [which may or may not be the same thing] because the first step will ALWAYS be to upload the files to /opt/kaltura/web/content/uploads, then perform the transcoding operations to create the different flavours and place them under /opt/kaltura/web/content/entry only then can the media files be exported to the remote storage.

Hope that helps clarify things,

Hi Jess, I’ve been able to go trough the process to configure the remote storage in AWS S3 but im not able to see the files in my bucket and Im receiving a 404 when trying to reproduce the video on the preview player.

Delivery Profile is
Status: Active
ID: 1005
Name: HTTP CF
Type: HTTP
Streamer Type: HTTP
Url: http://d3kkizspw968.cloudfront.net/kaltura

And the Remote Storage Profile is:

Protocol: Amazon S3
URL: http://d3kkizspw968.cloudfront.net
Publisher ID: 101
Path Manager: Kaltura Path

“s3:GetObject”,
“s3:GetObjectAcl”,
“s3:DeleteObject”
],
“Resource”: "arn:aws:s3:::mmtmd/”
}

}

and also tried with

},
“Action”:[“s3:GetObject”],
“Resource”:["arn:aws:s3:::Bucket-name/”
]
}
]
}

While doing the upload I get this on the kaltlog:

Is clear for me that there is an issue with the access, but I tried with root credentials and user credentials and I get the same issue. Another thing here is that if I switch the Remote Storage Settings to First Kaltura, Im able to reproduce the video.

Do you have any tip for looking into S3 or the remote storage settings?

Thanks in advance.

JP

Hi @juanpanie,

You need to check why the export to the S3 bucket is failing.
You can start by going to Admin Console->Batch Process Control and inputting an entry ID into the search box.
This will show the entire ingestion and export flow, including all the batch jobs that were attempted.
One of these will be “Storage Export”. You will get an indication of the job’s final status as well as some basic information about it. If you cannot determine what happened by looking there, you should check the storage export batch log[s] here:

/opt/kaltura/log/batch/storageexport-*$TIMESTAMP*.log

Note that fatal errors are logged into a separate file so you should have at least two log files, though the storageexport-$TIMESTAMP.err.log file may be empty. Go over both logs and grep for the entry ID to follow the flow and locate possible failures.

11

Hi Jess, thanks for the guideline, logs files helped my to finde the issue that was relate on the way I was providing the S3 Path, now Kaltura is able to transfer the encoded videos to S3. The only thing missing here is how to get a playable (with an adaptable bit rate) link for the videos, is there any particular method on the API to the the playable url and not just the link to the file?

Also jumping to the original question here, I created a symlink on /opt/kaltura --> web to my /data1/kaltura/web with the same permissions an ownership and I just get an “Uploading” status for the file, and when I track the entry ID on the Kaltura Console, kaltura is not processing the file, also nothing weird on the kaltlog

I found an similar issue here:

I hope you can help me on this too :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance.

Juan Pablo.

12

Hi @juanpanie,

In regards to your first question, see my explanation about the playManifest API here:

As for your ingestion issue, need to check the logs for errors, I’m sure they are there:)
See Kaltura File not processing after moving to new db and storage for the logs you should look at as a starting point.
What exactly do you see about each job in the entry investigation view?

13

That was a quick response haha!! Thanks, I will take a look there :slight_smile:

14

Hi Jess, I’been working on this and now im pretty close to finish. Im able to put /opt/kaltura/web in a different disk (it was an issue with the permissions of tmp folder inside web), also S3 storage is working too, and Kaltura is moving the source and flavors to S3 as expected… and finally, when I want to play the file inside KMC I can see in my chrome console that the player is hitting the cloud front on AWS.

The only thing that I cannot resolve yet is that I was using a react player in my app (playing video outside Kaltura Player) that now is not working anymore with this configuration, based on your post for enforcing the delivery type, Im using this for my HLS player (react-hls)

http://mydomain.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/{entryId}/flavorIds/{flavorsIds}/format/applehttp/protocol/http/a.m3u8 before using the remote storage the link was ok for playing the video inside react-hls, but now is failing. Is this something I can fix with the delivery profile?

Im working with this configuration:
Status: Active
ID: 1005
NAME: HTTP CF
TYPE: APPLE_HTTP
STREAMER TYPE: APPLE_HTTP
URL: http://mybucket.cloudfront.net/kaltura

If I open the link http://mydomain/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/format/url/protocol/http the video is working (format: URL) on the browser but not with applehttp format, I will keep working on this, but if you can give me some light it will be great!

Thanks in advance.

Juan Pablo.

15

Hi Juan,

If it plays correctly with the Kaltura player, I see no reason for it not to play with any other player that can read a HLS manifest. I suppose you can start by testing it with https://www.hlsplayer.net/ and see if you get any errors…

16

Hi Jess, unfortunately is not working at all on M3U8 tab and not working on any tab when using applehttp format in the URL

on MP4 Player works only with this URL:
“http://mykalturaserver.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/flavorIds/0_6h9c8npx,0_vl8ip5zg,0_1b8i236f,0_ypwi1gug,0_i16vvc30/format/url/protocol/http”

But when trying to change to applehttp format I receive a 404 error on the console, I will try to scan with fiddler the video when playing from Kaltura player and try to get the HLS url, I guess I will find an url to my Kaltura Server and then a redirect to cloud front and the same each time the player request a different flavor right?

Thanks in advance.

Juan Pablo.

17

Hi Juan,

Is your system accessible from the outside world? If so, please provide a valid URL to a manifest and I’ll take a look.
Also, using a network sniffer, you can see the full playManifest request the Kaltura player issues when you hit play, this can help you as well as if my understanding is correct, you are able to use HLS when using the Kaltura player.

18

Hi Jess, yes, those are the links i get from the entry investigation in Kaltura Console:

www - http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/format/url/protocol/http
cdn - http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/format/url/protocol/http
raw - http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/format/download/protocol/http/flavorParamIds/0
Manifest -
http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/a/a.f4m

Those links are working on the web browsers but not in hls player.

Before making the changes and start using S3 and Cloud Front I was able to reproduce the has video like this:

http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/flavorIds/0_6h9c8npx,0_vl8ip5zg,0_1b8i236f,0_ypwi1gug,0_i16vvc30/format/applehttp/protocol/http/a.m3u8

But not anymore.

Different story if I use the mp4 player with url: http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_wb7sd5qy/flavorIds/0_6h9c8npx,0_vl8ip5zg,0_1b8i236f,0_ypwi1gug,0_i16vvc30/format/url/protocol/http

But I will need HLS.

Maybe something wrong on the delivery profile configuration? or even on the Cloudfront setup?

Thanks again! :slight_smile:

19

Hi @juanpanie,

Lets start with:

mysql> select * from delivery_profile where id=$DELIVERY_PROFILE_ID\G
mysql> select * from storage_profile where id=$REMOTE_STORAGE_PROFILE_ID\G

You can get the IDs from the Admin Console or just select all the profiles for your partner and locate the correct one by its name.
Be sure to mask any secrets when posting here.

Also, when making the playManifest request, check /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_prod.log, /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_api_v3.log.

In /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_prod.log, you will find the query that determines which delivery profile should be used, let’s see that it chooses the correct one.

Once collect this info, we can continue with the troubleshooting.

Just one file?, I was expecting different flavors, also, passing the manifest to the player is not working on hlsplayer.net. Finally it call my attention the mimeType “video/x-flv” is this ok for HLS?

Hi again Jess, I’ve added a new delivery profile in combination with the previos one:

id partner_id created_at updated_at name type system_name description url host_name recognizer tokenizer status media_protocols streamer_type is_default parent_id custom_data priority
1006 101 2018-01-17 14:47:46 2018-01-17 18:13:28 HLS CF 1 NULL NULL http://djgkkafdvnlg5.cloudfront.net/kaltura djgkkafdvnlg5.cloudfront.net NULL NULL 0 NULL hls 0 0 NULL 0

And I added it to the remote storage config too, now Im able to see the videos on the browsers in this url:

http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_0cmifwch/flavors/0_0bpgs2ng,0_rsqicqy2,0_d3h2720r,0_b6nqieq6/format/http/protocol/http/a.m3u8

Also in our apps on Android and iOs but not in our react-hls player, im really confuse right now :confused: LOL

The other weird thing is that the players that shows the videos are taking the video as a live streaming an not showing controls at all :expressionless:

One more thing in addition to this, when trying to play the file in our web app (react-hls player), the player does the redirect to cloudFront but we get a 304 HTTP code and the S3 file is not downloaded, I added some metadata for the cache control, but getting the same results.

Thanks in advance

Juan Pablo.

Hello @jess, I’ve keep working on this, but im still struggling with trying to play the videos from the cloudFront CDN as an applehttp streamer type.

Im using Kaltura 13.4, and I was trying to follow the instructions from here:

Also taking into account that my version has a different way to configure the delivery profiles and associate them to the storage profile, but I think that I have that covered.

The thing is that while working without a remote storage, by default Kaltura creates the following link:

http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_rbe21nux/flavorIds/0_eaf8jxg8,0_2j2qqvc7,0_ot4aolds, 0_21q0wx78/format/applehttp/protocol/http/a.m3u8

As you can see the format is applehttp and the protocol is http, this ends providing a manifest like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=504832,RESOLUTION=640x360

Now when adding the remote storage with the delivery profiles on the CloudFront CDN I was hable to get the same manifest:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=582656,RESOLUTION=640x360
http://djgkkafdvnlg5.cloudfront.net/kaltura/20180124/0/0_v0y20w44_0_syw8fnwp_2.mp4/index.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=779264,RESOLUTION=640x360
http://djgkkafdvnlg5.cloudfront.net/kaltura/20180124/0/0_v0y20w44_0_0ugbwcol_2.mp4/index.m3u8

So, everything is as expected… but the think is that the CDN cannot resolve the file name with the addition of “/index.m3u8”, then my hsl player is just downloading a list of files that in this case can be reproduced on my computer, and the hlslayer.net is not able to resolve the files with that suffix.

Is there any missing configuration that I need to add or change in order to avoid the index part?

Thanks in advance again @jess, and my apologies for being so annoying with my questions :blush:

Hi @juanpanie,

Not quite sure I understand the current issue…
I used http://player.kaltura.com/modules/KalturaSupport/tests/HLSPlaybackTester.html to test, inputting http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_rbe21nux/flavorIds/0_eaf8jxg8,0_2j2qqvc7,0_ot4aolds,0_21q0wx78/format/applehttp/protocol/http/a.m3u8 as the HLS URL and it plays just fine.

See direct URL below.

http://player.kaltura.com/modules/KalturaSupport/tests/HLSPlaybackTester.html#{"engine"%3Atrue%2C"stvod"%3Atrue%2C"ncweb"%3Atrue%2C"url"%3A"http%3A%2F%2Fmmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com%2Fp%2F101%2Fsp%2F10100%2FplayManifest%2FentryId%2F0_rbe21nux%2FflavorIds%2F0_eaf8jxg8%2C0_2j2qqvc7%2C0_ot4aolds%2C0_21q0wx78%2Fformat%2Fapplehttp%2Fprotocol%2Fhttp%2Fa.m3u8http%3A%2F%2Fmmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com%2Fp%2F101%2Fsp%2F10100%2FplayManifest%2FentryId%2F0_rbe21nux%2FflavorIds%2F0_eaf8jxg8%2C0_2j2qqvc7%2C0_ot4aolds%2C0_21q0wx78%2Fformat%2Fapplehttp%2Fprotocol%2Fhttp%2Fa.m3u8"%2C"thumb"%3A""%2C"hlsLiveSegmentBuffer"%3A-1%2C"hlsInitialBufferTime"%3A-1%2C"hlsExpandedBufferTime"%3A-1%2C"hlsMaxBufferTime"%3A-1%2C"hlsLogs"%3Atrue%2C"dvr"%3Afalse}

http://players.akamai.com/hls also works correctly with http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_rbe21nux/flavorIds/0_eaf8jxg8,0_2j2qqvc7,0_ot4aolds,0_21q0wx78/format/applehttp/protocol/http/a.m3u8

Can you please elaborate as to the exact issue, how you are testing and what you are seeing?

Hi @Jess, sorry for not being clear, the link I provided you is the one that streams from Kaltura server, but not using the remote storage (and CDN), it was just an example to show you how kaltura normally creates the manifest file and also to compare with the one created with the remote storage and the CDN.
I get a similar manifest file but im not hable to reproduce it, the issue is that even having the same structure in the manifest file, I can only reproduce the one that points to kaltura delivery profile and not the one that points to the remote storage (in this case S3 and CloudFront as the CDN)

This is the link I created for the video with the remote storage enabled:

http://mmtmd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_v0y20w44/flavorIds/0_g1ohgw4c,0_syw8fnwp,0_0ugbwcol/format/applehttp/protocol/http/a.m3u8

I tested in the players you mentioned above, but in the network I’m seeing 404 when trying to get each of the files described on the manifest.

This is the Manifest file looks:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=582656,RESOLUTION=640x360
http://djgkkafdvnlg5.cloudfront.net/kaltura/20180124/0/0_v0y20w44_0_syw8fnwp_2.mp4/index.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=779264,RESOLUTION=640x360
http://djgkkafdvnlg5.cloudfront.net/kaltura/20180124/0/0_v0y20w44_0_0ugbwcol_2.mp4/index.m3u8

I guess the issue is related with the end of the url generated on each flavor (/index.m3u8) and I think that if Im able to configure Kaltura in order to generate the same manifest but without the index.m3u8 part it will work.

Could you pelease explain me why im getting the /index.m3u8 at the end of each flavor url?

Thanks again!

Juan Pablo.
