I’m adding content programmatically via the Java API and that is working fine. What isn’t working is when I try to associate a Category using the KalturaMediaEntry.categoriesIds argument. Here’s the segment of code:
KalturaMediaEntry entry = new KalturaMediaEntry();
entry.mediaType = KalturaMediaType.VIDEO; entry.name = “Name goes here=” + new Date();
entry.description = “Description goes here”;
entry.referenceId = uploadTokenId;
entry.categoriesIds=“74477371”;
KalturaMediaEntry result = mediaClient.getKalturaClient().getMediaService().add(entry);
When I execute this code I always get the exception: ‘KalturaApiException: Category id “74477371” not found’
And yes, I’ve already created the Category via the KMC.
When I do a KalturaMediaService.list(filter, pager) with a filter like:
KalturaMediaEntryFilter filter = new KalturaMediaEntryFilter();
filter.categoriesMatchOr = “74477371”;
I get a KalturaMediaListResponse object back with totalCount = 0;
For filtering based on category ID you’d want categoriesIdsMatchOr, not categoriesMatchOr, unless your category NAME is “74477371”.
At any rate, let’s start by making sure 74477371 is a valid category ID that belongs to the partner in question, like I said, does category.get(74477371) return a category object?
I found the CategoryService().list method and called it with an ‘empty’ filter. I get the following response:
“Samples”, fullName=Samples, id=74225511
"Sample Images", fullName=Samples>Sample Images, id=74225521
"Sample Audio", fullName=Samples>Sample Audio, id=74225531
"Sample Videos", fullName=Samples>Sample Videos, id=74225541
These four categories are four out of roughly 20 categories that were created automatically for me when I started my trial with Kaltura.
Why would such a small subset be returned in the call? I don’t see anything special about them…
