The techie details
The Cent2Cent integration with Kaltura is based on 3 main integration points: the Kaltura API and its C# Client Library, a KDP3 (Kaltura Player) Plugin and a plugin to the Kaltura HTML5 Player (coming soon).
APIs – The Cent2Cent-Kaltura integration is focused on Media management and Security; We use all the Media services, manage Access Control profiles and use the authentication and user management services. In addition, the Cent2Cent integration also use the uiConf services to add the player plugin automatically to publisher player instances.
KDP3 (The Kaltura OSMF based Media Player) – The Cent2Cent payments mechanism kicks into play whenever an Access Control event is fired and if commerce rules were defined for the playing media entry. That mechanism is based on Javascript and HTML.
Asking site owners to add Javascript code to their pages in addition to the player embed code still felt a bit more complex. So, to make installation seamless and simple, we created a KDP Flash plugin. The Cent2Cent KDP plugin listens to the Access Control events, and when fired, the plugin injects the Cent2Cent Javascript to the page and present the payment screens.
