Ruby client for the Kaltura API

kaltura's Issues

MediaEntry.list is returning different formats depending on number of items.

When using ::Kaltura::MediaEntry.list(@options) and the list only has 1 item in it, then this returns an array. If there is more than one item returned, it is returned as a Hashie:Mash.

I am going to different structure formats, depending on if I have 1 item or more than 1 item.

Using Kaltura with multiple Accoutns

I had an application in which all users could have their own Kaltura Credentials. The gem is aimed at one credential set per application, but you can reconfigure it in runtime. Importantly, you need to restart the kalutra session when doing so. It took me a couple of hours to figure this out, I hope this note helps someone.

def kaltura_api
    Kaltura.configure do |config|
        config.partner_id = current_user.kaltura_partner_id 
        config.administrator_secret = current_user.kaltura_administrator_secret 
        # config.service_url = current_user.kaltura_service_url
    end

    # now restart Kaltura, or you'll keep the last known credentials
    Kaltura::Session.start

    # get an entry with the credentials of the current_user
    entry = Kaltura::MediaEntry.get( params[:id] )
end

Building more tests

Hi there,

I'm adding some functionality to this gem to support more data types from Kaltura. I'd like to write some tests as well so that you can pull my changes, but I was just wondering if you had a particular methodology for recording the VCR cassettes for the tests?
