About
The embeddplaylist module allows you to control the embed capabilities for the playlist, available on the Playlist Details page under the "Share and Embed" button.
This module is only relevant for Video Portal, not for KAF applications.
The players must contain the Playlist plugin available in the KMC Studio.
If no player is selected, the default Playlist player will be used. See PlaylistPage.

Secure embed
secureEmbed - Setting secureEmbed to Yes, provides an additional layer of protection, by which users will first have to login to view the content. MediaSpace entitlements will be enforced on media that is embedded in external sites. When embedding restricted or private media to your sites and blogs, you will be prompted to authenticate (if not already authenticated). If a user is authorized to watch the media according to the entitlements defined in MediaSpace, the media will play. Otherwise, a message will be displayed that they are not authorized to watch the media.
In the iframe embed example below, secureEmbed is set to No.
<iframe id="kaltura_player" src="http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/p/2311101/sp/231110100/embedIframeJs/uiconf_id/40179251/partner_id/2311101?iframeembed=true&playerId=kaltura_player&entry_id=1_3inimdwj&flashvars[streamerType]=auto&flashvars[localizationCode]=en&flashvars[leadWithHTML5]=true&flashvars[sideBarContainer.plugin]=true&flashvars[sideBarContainer.position]=left&flashvars[sideBarContainer.clickToClose]=true&flashvars[chapters.plugin]=true&flashvars[chapters.layout]=vertical&flashvars[chapters.thumbnailRotator]=false&flashvars[streamSelector.plugin]=true&flashvars[EmbedPlayer.SpinnerTarget]=videoHolder&flashvars[dualScreen.plugin]=true&&wid=1_nl9vrlrr" width="400" height="285" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder="0" title="Kaltura Player"></iframe>
In the iframe embed example below, secureEmbed is set to Yes.
<iframe id="kmsembed-1_3inimdwj" width="400" height="285" src="http://2311101.mediaspace.kaltura.com/embed/secure/iframe/entryId/1_3inimdwj/uiConfId/40179251?flashvars[streamerType]=auto&flashvars[localizationCode]=en&flashvars[leadWithHTML5]=true&flashvars[sideBarContainer.plugin]=true&flashvars[sideBarContainer.position]=left&flashvars[sideBarContainer.clickToClose]=true&flashvars[chapters.plugin]=true&flashvars[chapters.layout]=vertical&flashvars[chapters.thumbnailRotator]=false&flashvars[streamSelector.plugin]=true&flashvars[EmbedPlayer.SpinnerTarget]=videoHolder&flashvars[dualScreen.plugin]=true&" class="kmsembed" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder="0" title="Kaltura Player"></iframe>
As you can see from the above examples, when secureEmbed is set to No, the iframe embed code displays a direct link to the media. When secureEmbed is set to Yes, the iframe embed code displays a direct link to MediaSpace which requires the user to enter login credentials to view the content.
For additional information about this feature, see Enhanced Settings for Secure Embed in KMS/KAF.
If secureEmbed is set to Yes, additional functionality is displayed.
Additional functionality for secure embed
autoRedirect -
Select Yes to automatically redirect the user to the SSO login page in case the user is not authenticated with MediaSpace. (If the user is globally authenticated, they will be auto authenticated by MediaSpace then redirected back to the page with the video.) In the example below, the user is not globally authenticated, therefore the Sign In page displays.
Select No to display a message to the user so that the user can manually select when/whether to re-authenticate. In the example below, the user has not been automatically redirected and must manually click "Click here to login" to login to MediaSpace.
autoReirectiframe -
When autoRedirect is set to Yes and autoRedirectIframe is set to No (default), the redirect for authentication will use the top browser window.
When autoRedirect is set to Yes and autoRedirectIframe is set to Yes, the redirect will occur in the iframe.
autoRedirectMessageHTML - HTML text to display while the user is auto-redirected to the login page. In the example below, the HTML text was set to "Please login with your MediaSpace credentials."
authorizedForSubsetHTML - HTML text (may include links) to display inside the iFrame if a user is only allowed to a subset of the playlist content due to entitlements. In the example below, the HTML text was set to "You are only authorized to access a subset of the original playlist."
notAuthenticatedHTML - HTML text (may include links) to display inside the iFrame if autoRedirect is set to No. In the example below, the HTML text was set to "Not authenticated".
notAuthorizedHTML - HTML text (may include links) to display inside the iFrame in case Kaltura Entitlement authorization fails.
In the example below, the HTML text was set to "You are not authorized to view this media". The user was prompted to log into KMS and authentication was successful, but upon doing so, was unable to access the media because the user did not have authorization to view the media.
Note: If you wish to further restrict users from viewing media in KMS, you may consider disabling allowAnonomous in the Auth module.
overrideCSSURL - URL to an alternate Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) to allow a customer to customize the iFrame design to fit corporate style guide.
