The problem with Kaltura videos in automatically retracted blocks looks to be related to the external javascript from Kaltura the Mahara block fetches to render the video.
The Mahara block sets up some video information on page load - but when the block is auto retracted it seems the video player knows it is not 'visible' on page and so fails to load some info. I get this error: embedPlayer.kalturaPlayerMetaData is null We probably need to alter how we load/start the Kaltura video and do it in a more controlled way. Possibly using the info here http://player.kaltura.com/docs/index.php?path=kwidget so that we can load the video on either page load or when a button is clicked (in this case when we expand the collapsed block) ** Changed in: mahara Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: mahara Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
