Kaltura PHP 5.3 Client API Library missing CaptionAssetService

[charles-rumley]

Hopefully it'll be an easy fix, as the < 5.3 PHP client already contains the CaptionAssetContainer service.

Hello,

Looking at the contents of http://cdnbakmi.kaltura.com/content/clientlibs/php53_14-05-2015.tar.gz

$ grep CaptionAssetService /tmp/php53/* -r /tmp/php53/library/Kaltura/Client/Plugin/Caption/Service/CaptionAssetService.php:class CaptionAssetService extends \Kaltura\Client\ServiceBase /tmp/php53/library/Kaltura/Client/Plugin/Caption/CaptionPlugin.php: * @var Service\CaptionAssetService /tmp/php53/library/Kaltura/Client/Plugin/Caption/CaptionPlugin.php: 'captionAsset' => $this->getCaptionAssetService(), /tmp/php53/library/Kaltura/Client/Plugin/Caption/CaptionPlugin.php: * @return \Kaltura\Client\Plugin\Caption\Service\CaptionAssetService /tmp/php53/library/Kaltura/Client/Plugin/Caption/CaptionPlugin.php: public function getCaptionAssetService() /tmp/php53/library/Kaltura/Client/Plugin/Caption/CaptionPlugin.php: $this->captionAsset = new Service\CaptionAssetService($this->_client);

Seems to be fine.

Please share a code snippet.

Thanks,

May the source be with you,

Thanks for the quick response Jess, it appears I was wrong. I didn't realize caption service was invoked via a plugin rather than directly through service/ (such as MediaInfoService or DocumentService).

I did run into another issue, I attempted to upgrade to the latest Kaltura 5.3 PHP API (commit de00e50), and I began receiving permission denied errors for any service that I attempted to use. No application code (outside of Composer) was changed, and yet I could not access any Kaltura services after upgrading. Downgrading to commit 8658181 fixed the issue.

If you'd like this created as a separate issue, I'd be happy to do so!

Hello Charles,

The latest Kaltura client libs, i.e, those generated from branch 10.20.0, are no longer compatible with Kaltura server version 10.19.0 which is why you are getting the error. My guess is you're getting something like: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'KalturaClientException' with message 'failed to unserialize server result <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>KalturaAPIExcept io nMISSING_MANDATORY_PARAMETERMissing parameter "secret"KalturaApiExceptionArgPARAM_NAMEsecret</it in /opt/kaltura/web/content/clientlibs/php5/KalturaClientBase.php:412 Stack trace:

/opt/kaltura/web/content/clientlibs/php5/KalturaClient.php(6713):

In order to work against SaaS, use the clients either from the official page here: http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testme/client-libs.php

or from branch 10.19.0 which you can get here: https://github.com/kaltura/KalturaGeneratedAPIClientsPHP53/tree/10.19.0

Closing the issue but if you have any other questions, feel free.

Clientlibs for PHP are also available via composer here: https://packagist.org/packages/kaltura/api-client-library#10.19.0.x-dev

Ah, one more small note for the future:) Indeed captions are implemented as a plugin. Whenever in doubt, going to http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testme/# and selecting the relevant service and action and then hitting 'Show code example' is a very quick way to get started on a specific 'service':)

For captions for example, you'd see: $captionPlugin = KalturaCaptionClientPlugin::get($client); $result = $captionPlugin->captionAsset->add($entryId, $captionAsset);
