things i have tried too include Admin Consle > user > configure > delivery profile add new > result “{“mpegdash”:[1003]}” save , have tried other options like rtmp ,hds without luck , have tried checking unchecking the boxes of enforce delivery / delivery types …etc . have tried adding parameters to the player the new created one and the default one "HTTP Streaming(HDS)
Key: loadingPolicy
Value: preInitialize

Key: asyncInit
Value: true

Key: streamerType
Value: hdnetworkmanifest

Key: twoPhaseManifest
Value: true "

KMC > entries > preview embed code > whatever player > i get only three options here
auto embed
dynamic embed

Hi @s.u,

To get the manifest, you need to make these requests:

HLS:

curl "https://test.kaltura.org/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_lhj3gect/flavorIds/0_outwutw3,0_x1y6lg7n,0_na50xvjj/format/applehttp/protocol/https?responseFormat=jsonp&callback=jQuery111101762295451720639_1516018093007"

DASH:

curl "https://test.kaltura.org/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_lhj3gect/flavorIds/0_outwutw3,0_x1y6lg7n,0_na50xvjj/format/mpegdash/protocol/https?responseFormat=jsonp&callback=jQuery111101762295451720639_1516018093007"

HD:

curl "https://test.kaltura.org/p/101/sp/10100/playManifest/entryId/0_lhj3gect/flavorIds/0_outwutw3,0_x1y6lg7n,0_na50xvjj/format/hdnetwork/protocol/https?responseFormat=jsonp&callback=jQuery111101762295451720639_1516018093007

Of course, you need to replace the base URL, partner ID, entry ID and flavour IDs with your own. The above is an example from my ENV.
If your ENV is not running over HTTPs, replace protocol/https with protocol/http.

You can see the playManifest requests the player makes if you open your browser’s dev tools and go to the “Network” tab.

By default, the player requests an HLS [format/applehttp]. If you wish to use DASH instead, go to KMC->Studio->Your Player and set ‘Dash.plugin=true’

Hello @jess
Thank you for the reply , good info’s . so according to this api’s all the delivery types are enabled out of the box and we just need to api them .

Hi @s.u,

You need to create remote storage and delivery profiles.
See my reply here:
