Hi

I want to change the preview player in the metadata tab to be html5 or just a new player
which I will create.

where can I do that?

You can’t use an HTML5 player, because you can’t load (complicated) HTML inside flash.
Assuming you want to change the player for the entire installation (you can’t change it for a specific partner), you should change the contents of the file pointed here:

github.com

kaltura/kmc/blob/master_new/KMC/config/config.ini#L155


widgets.kdp7.html5_version = @@HTML5_VERSION@@
widgets.kdp7.conf_file = xml/content/kdp_moderation.xml
widgets.kdp7.width = 280
widgets.kdp7.height = 255


widgets.kdp8.usage = entry_drilldown
widgets.kdp8.identifier = KdpDrilldownForContentUIConfID
widgets.kdp8.name = KDP3 for drilldown tab used in the content
widgets.kdp8.version = @@KDP_VERSION@@
widgets.kdp8.html5_version = @@HTML5_VERSION@@
widgets.kdp8.conf_file = xml/content/kdp_drilldown.xml
widgets.kdp8.width = 345
widgets.kdp8.height = 194


widgets.kdp9.usage = captureThumbnail
widgets.kdp9.identifier = KdpCaptureThumbnailForContentUIConfID
widgets.kdp9.name = KDP3 for drilldown tab used in content
widgets.kdp9.version = @@KDP_VERSION@@
widgets.kdp9.html5_version = @@HTML5_VERSION@@
widgets.kdp9.conf_file = xml/content/kdp_capture_thumbnail.xml
widgets.kdp9.width = 400

or change the pointing, of course.
This uiconf is created at deployment time, so you should re-run KMC deployment script after changing the file contents.
Alternatively, if you only want to change it for a version that is already deployed you can find the uiconf with this name or tag in the DB or testme console, and edit it directly.
