Kaltura Player Chapter Editor

There is no precise information on how to implement the chapter editing. Where should I refer in order to understand how to implement this.

Hi @pajay,

First, you need to add the chapter plugins to your players: one for editing and another for displaying the chapters.
To do so, go to KMC->Studio->YOUR PLAYER->Plugins [last icon in the left pane]->Import Plugin
For editing, paste this string in the “Plugin Configuration String:” text box:

chaptersEdit.plugin=true&chaptersEdit.onPageJs1={onPagePluginPath}/chapters/chaptersEdit.js&chaptersEdit.onPageJs2={onPagePluginPath}/chapters/kWidget.cuePointsDataController.js&chaptersEdit.onPageCss1={onPagePluginPath}/chapters/chaptersEdit.css&chaptersEdit.requiresJQuery=true&chaptersEdit.customDataFields=desc,thumbUrl&chaptersEdit.tags=chaptering&chaptersEdit.editPropId=k-chapterProp&chaptersEdit.editTimelineId=k-chapterTimeline

For viewing, paste:

chaptersView.plugin=true&chaptersView.path=/content/uiconf/ps/kaltura/kdp/v3.6.9/plugins/facadePlugin.swf&chaptersView.position=before&chaptersView.onPageJs1={onPagePluginPath}/chapters/chaptersView.js&chaptersView.onPageJs2={onPagePluginPath}/libs/jcarousellite.js&chaptersView.onPageJs3={onPagePluginPath}/libs/jquery.sortElements.js&chaptersView.onPageCss1={onPagePluginPath}/chapters/chaptersView.css&chaptersView.requiresJQuery=true&chaptersView.tags=chaptering&chaptersView.layout=horizontal&chaptersView.containerPosition=after&chaptersView.overflow=false&chaptersView.includeThumbnail=true&chaptersView.thumbnailWidth=100&chaptersView.horizontalChapterBoxWidth=320&chaptersView.thumbnailRotator=true&chaptersView.includeChapterStartTime=true&chaptersView.includeChapterDuration=true&chaptersView.pauseAfterChapter=false&chaptersView.titleLimit=24&chaptersView.chapterRenderer=onChapterRenderer&chaptersView.chaptersRenderDone=onChaptersRenderDone&chaptersView.relativeTo=video

Here is a sample code for adding and editing chapters, replace:

#PARTNER_ID#
#UI_CONF_ID#
#ENTRY_ID#
#KS_STRING#

with your values, where #UI_CONF_ID# is the ID of the player you enabled the chapter editing plugin.

        }
});
</script>

</html>

Note that you need a valid KS in order to add/edit chapters. Ideally, this should not be hard coded as a KS has an expiry date. You’ll want to prompt the user for the username and password and generate a KS each time they access your system by calling user->loginByLoginId, you may also use the appToken mechanism as I explained to you on a diff thread.

Here is a sample code for showing a player with the chapters plugin, replace:

#PARTNER_ID#
#UI_CONF_ID#
#ENTRY_ID#

with your values, where #UI_CONF_ID# is the ID of the player you enabled the chapter viewing plugin.

Thank you @jess. I didn’t know we had to make changes to the player to implement this.
I had another question, Can we really insert a thumbnail within the video, play the thumbnail for few seconds and then continue with the rest of video?

@pajay - I’ve followed up over email. let’s have a conversation.

http://player.kaltura.com/kWidget/onPagePlugins/chapters/ChapterSamples.html

It is a video of this demo site,

I want to check what kind of setting is done for the SRT / DFXP file.

http://player.kaltura.com/docs/index.php?path=chaptersEdit

not work.
