Working with content - apis

OCX · March 28, 2018, 2:43pm

Hello,

I would like to build my own backend that does mainly content manipulation for the videos stored in kaltura engine ce edition

The idea is to have different UI/UX for the trim,copy,clip,share functionality but still trigger kalura apis to do the job on the videos.

Can you please advise if that is feasible?

In general, is there something that can be done from the kaltura KMC and cant be done from the apis? Thank you

Hi @OCX,

Every KMC operation is achieved by making API calls and so, as a general rule, if KMC can do it, it can be done using the API:)

For clipping, see this example:

github.com

kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/Mercury-13.16.0/RPM/scripts/postinst/clip_test.php

<?php

if (count($argv)<5){
    echo 'Usage:' .__FILE__ .' <service_url> <partnerid> <admin_secret> <entry_id to clip>'."\n";
    exit (1);
}
function clipi($client,$entry_id,$overwrite)
{
	try{
	// Params
	$overwrite=false; //Decides whether to trim the entry or clip it

	// Entry Data
	$startTime = 100; //Set the start time of the clip / trim in milliseconds
	$endTime = 5000; //Set the end time of the clip / trim in milliseconds
	$clipDuration = $endTime - $startTime;

	// Create New Clip
	$operation1 = new KalturaClipAttributes();
	$operation1->offset = $startTime;
