Hi Lin,
Yes, the KMS (Kaltura MediaSpace) is beyond the kaltura open source.
KMS is a video portal. You can read more about it here: http://corp.kaltura.com/Products/Video-Applications/Kaltura-Mediaspace-Video-Portal
and see its demo site: http://media.mediaspace.kaltura.com/

Hi Ofer,

MediaSpace sounds cool, two quick questions,

  1. How it is priced? And is it open source so that I can customize by myself?
  2. For the open source and free Kaltura, I think it already cover functions of MediaSpace, like video hosting/player/codec. Is there a comparison what functions are provided in additional of Kaltura?

Hi Lin,

  1. I’m not a kaltura employee so I don’t know it’s pricing model.
  2. KMS is a layer on top of the kaltura server, not a replacement (its just a nicer presentation layer).

Thanks Ofer,

Your answers are so professional so that I think you are senior employee in Kaltura. :smile:

Is KMS open source as well?

No. KMS is not for free

13

Hi Ofer,

I know KMS is not for free. I mean whether it is open source? Sorry not make myself understood before.

Hello Lin,

No, I am afraid KMS is proprietary.

15

Thanks Jess. If not open source, is customization easy (more about customized workflow level and UI level.)? Thanks.

16

Yes, our professional services dept. does a lot of KMS customizations, both in flow and UI.

17

Thanks Jess, I am fully confident for your team. I mean for private property reasons, if I want to do customization by myself (I can pay for your support, but want to customize code by ourselves and not sure the part of customized code), is there enough API or document to refer to? Thanks.
