Integrating Kaltura Player with IQ Using the JS SDK

The Ooyala Kaltura player adapter uses the Ooyala IQ JavaScript SDK to communicate Kaltura events to Ooyala IQ. You can implement this adapter yourself, or Ooyala Professional Services can help you implement the adapter for a fee. Complete the following steps to integrate the Kaltura player with Ooyala IQ.

Prior to using the Kaltura player adapter, you need to make sure that your Ooyala assets are playable on third-party players.

Check that your account has the correct encoding profile to allow encodings that Kaltura supports. You can ask your account manager for assistance checking your processing profile.
If you had to enable new files to be encoded in your encoding profile, you will need to upload a new video file or re-encode the video file in order to get the newly generated file. Content replacement (replacing an asset) will not work for this step. You must upload a new file or open a support ticket with Ooyala Technical Support to reprocess the video without manually uploading it again to keep the same embed code.

Reference analytics.js at https://analytics.ooyala.com/static/analytics.js in the page where your player is hosted. This needs to be done for any page that has a player.
Warning: Do not host analytics.js on your own. If you do so, you will not receive bug fixes and updates. Please use the Ooyala-hosted version at https://analytics.ooyala.com/static/analytics.js.
Create a Kaltura player.
1. Embed a player using the instruction at http://player.kaltura.com/docs/index.php?path=kwidget.
2. Catch the addReadyCallback handler and create KalturaReporter inside addReadyCallback.
3. (Optional) Specify a media content type with the MediaContentType parameter to show if the mediaid specifies an Ooyala video asset or a non-Ooyala video asset. You can set the media content type as one of the two following values. If you do not specify a media content type, the default value is EXTERNAL_CONTENT (non-Ooyala media assets).
  - OOYALA_CONTENT: Indicates that the media ID is an Ooyala embed code. Set the value of OOYALA_CONTENT to the Ooyala embed code. Use contentType: Ooyala.Analytics.MediaContentType.OOYALA_CONTENT.
  - EXTERNAL_CONTENT: Indicates that the media ID is not an Ooyala embed code (and is customer-defined media ID from a non-Ooyala CMS). Use contentType: Ooyala.Analytics.MediaContentType.EXTERNAL_CONTENT.
  Note: The Ooyala IQ JavaScript SDK does not support specifying multiple content types within the same player instance in a page. However, we do support specifying multiple content types for different players on the same page. For example, we do not support analytics for the use case where you have one player on a page that plays Ooyala video assets and external assets. We do support analytics for the use case where you have two players on the same page where one plays Ooyala video assets and the other plays external (non-Ooyala video assets).

See the example below:

<script>
    //http://player.kaltura.com/docs/api

    kWidget.embed({
        'targetId': 'myEmbedTarget',
        'wid': '_423851',
        'uiconf_id': '11598752',
        'entry_id': '0_uka1msg4',
        'flashvars': {
            'autoPlay': false
        },
        'params': {
            'wmode': 'transparent'
        }
    });

    kWidget.addReadyCallback(function(playerId) {
        var kdp = document.getElementById(playerId);
        videoLogger = new Ooyala.Analytics.KalturaReporter("yourOoyalaPcode", kdp);
    });
</script>
