Using Kaltura with multiple Accoutns

[xangadix]

I had an application in which all users could have their own Kaltura Credentials. The gem is aimed at one credential set per application, but you can reconfigure it in runtime. Importantly, you need to restart the kalutra session when doing so. It took me a couple of hours to figure this out, I hope this note helps someone.

def kaltura_api
    Kaltura.configure do |config|
        config.partner_id = current_user.kaltura_partner_id 
        config.administrator_secret = current_user.kaltura_administrator_secret 
        # config.service_url = current_user.kaltura_service_url
    end

    # now restart Kaltura, or you'll keep the last known credentials
    Kaltura::Session.start

    # get an entry with the credentials of the current_user
    entry = Kaltura::MediaEntry.get( params[:id] )
end
