We’re happy to announce the deployment of version 1.5 of the Kaltura HTML5 Video Library. This release includes a number of enhancements in the playlist handler, the addition of QUnit tests for many player features and many additional plugins. This blog post will give you a high level overview of all the changes. For more in-depth coverage follow the html5video.org wiki.
The Kaltura library update has been deployed to both .org and .com to enable html5 links provided to you by the KMC and to the html5.kaltura.org/js location. Its important that if you’re a Kaltura customer you contact your project manager or Kaltura support to update your script includes to the .com hosted version of the library. The .org location will continue to host the latest version of the library and is a good way to play around with new features, but is less recommend for production sites.
