Draftentry module

The Draftentrymodule allows users to create an entry in MediaSpace, without uploading actual content (video, audio, or image). The user may specify the metadata of the entry (e.g. title and description) at the time of creation. The use case for this module is that one user creates the entry and enters the metadata. The user can add content at a later time, or the content may be added by a different user.

Field

Description

addMediaFromUrl

Users are always allowed to upload media from their desktop; this configuration adds another way to upload media. Select Yes to allow users to import media from a URL (YouTube for example). If set to No, users will not have the option of importing media from a URL and will only be allowed to upload media from their desktop.

validateUrl

Select Yes to have the system validate the URL that a user enters. If set to No, the system will not validate URLs. If a user types an invalid URL, the content will not be uploaded and they must re-enter a URL.

draftEntryMode

Select Video Draft Entry (recommended) to make the draft entry that can receive only video content (no audio/image). Such draft entries are fully supported by REACH workflow, and they will be visible in the Kaltura Management Console. 

Select Base Draft Entry to allow upload any kind of content later. However, such draft entries have a set of known limitations:

  • They are not supported by REACH workflow. Captions for such entries could be requested only after uploading the content. Please do not use Base Draft Entries if you have automatic caption requests configured in your account.
  • They are not visible in the Kaltura Management Console until uploading the content
