kaltura model, player-view and sample project

[mdale]

Basic Kaltura model, player view and sample project.

Kaltura model

• Pulls Kaltura entries from a defined top level category "topCategoryId"
• Aggregates all categories listed in response into flat top level category list.

  Kaltura Player

• Takes a configuration defined Kaltura player and makes it "chromeless" by disabling common containers.
• Supports basic ad playback, but could use enhancement.
• All analytics business logic should remain active per defined player config.

  Sample project

Supports parametrized overrides, it's recommend you disables these overrides for a shipping application.

• partnerId -- the Kaltura account partner id
• uiconfId -- player id
• topCategoryId -- the top level category id, all descending categories and entries will be used to define app content.
• ksService -- url to service to retrieve ks.
• appLogo -- absolute or assets/ relative path to URL to logo.

  Known Limitations

• Stubs for ad-state also submitted to minimal viable UI during ad playback; should be enhanced to integrate "skip" into parent application, and enhanced to maybe hide the progress all-together in favor of ad count down.
• limits number of active entries because it loads all into memory, taking advantage of sub categories should be done for a subsequent update.
• No ability to manually define categories included
