Video Portal and Kaltura Application Framework (KAF)

Version: 5.138.x

Date Released: November 4, 2024

What's New

• Template pages - Sessions component (available for Kaltura Events) - This new component for template pages allow event owners to show sessions from the channel’s agenda or from a dedicated playlist. This new component will allow event managers to place a list of sessions in the form of an agenda on their template pages, whether homepages, landing pages, or Coming Soon pages. Currently only available on custom Kaltura Events templates, it will be available to configure from Kaltura Events in the upcoming weeks. Learn more in the template page article.



• Media page speakers location - On the Theming-based media page, the speakers component will now show above the custom data. This will not affect any instances where custom metadata is not in use, and will provide better visibility of the speakers for instances where it does.  (KMS-29599)
• Gallery moderation and permissions - To enhance the gallery offering, we have cloned a few features from the channels to the galleries:
  • Gallery moderation - This allows admins to choose the default moderation status for newly created galleries, and to disable the ability to remove the moderation by gallery owners. (KMS-30179)
  • Creation of galleries - Admins can now choose what the roles are and who can create new sub-galleries. (KMS-30180)
• Session cards (available in Kaltura Events & Video Portal) - (Correction from previous release, this feature release was 5.138.x, and not the previous version.) The new Theming module session cards display scheduled sessions in different locations, such as the channel page, the template pages, and more. We have enhanced these cards in two ways:
  • The "Join Now" button will now update automatically when the event starts, without needing to refresh the page. Admins can also set a specific time before the event begins for the "Add to Calendar" button to automatically change to "Join Now," allowing users to join ahead of the start time.
  • Speaker information will now be visible directly on the session page, eliminating the need to navigate to the speaker’s profile. This applies to speaker icons on media pages as well, and users can view this information without logging in.

  

• AuthBroker Role Mapping - We have added to the AuthBroker module support for mapping of KMS roles based on multi values lookup in addition to the singular fields support that already exists. (KMS-30311)

Upcoming

• Theming-based Channel moderation -  (available in Video Portal and KAF) - The moderation page for channels will soon be available as part of Theming. This feature allows channel owners to review content added by other users before publishing it, and choose whether to approve or decline it. Instances with Theming already enabled for channels, and with channel moderation enabled, will automatically receive the new page.
  
• Document entry - Replacement of document entry is now available from the media editing page. Learn more about document entries in our article View and manage a document entry. (PSVAMB-70192)
• New auth method allowing quicker access to the event sites.
• New Kaltura room with chat and interactions in the video portal.
