Distributed Kaltura CE with SSL - I tried everything

Hello. I have a successful AIO installation with SSL. I have a in infrastructure with different VMs doing each function. It is all by the book as explained in the RPM based instructions and in the Kaltura cluster instructions. I had a ‘working’ installation without SSL in the front and vod hosts, but some things like loging in were broken and stuff like playing videos too, I was having lots of CORS issues. I wanted to reconfigure the installation to use SSL. Even dropping the DB and starti…

I manage to fix ( although awaiting some feedback to validate the solutions ).

When running the sanity check from one of the fronts, I gets these:

[Check kaltura-batch daemon status] [SKIPPED as kaltura-batch is not installed]
[Check kaltura-batch daemon init] [SKIPPED as kaltura-batch is not installed]

Which is interesting, since batch is indeed installed and running, although in another host, of course.

Which is interesting also as I can curl it perfectly:

But indeed, uploading content, aside from taking a long time, does NOT play and the spinning wheel is all we get:

Can someone shed some light here?

It looks like the playing error is due an incorrect hostname in the VOD host setting.

I changed it already everywhere, from ans file, and rerunning config scripts. Still tries the old one, however.

How does one force the change of VOD_PACKAGER_HOST ?

The preview of flavours work, I can view content at, for example:

https://media.xxxxx.com/index.php/kmcng/content/entries/entry/0_56yy00s5/flavours

But NOT when they load via the player, like:
