   In order to use this plugin you must register with the Kaltura website. It is true that Kaltura will host and provide bandwidth for your videos for free, but that is limited to 10GB (as of this date). Since you apparently cannot host your own videos with the plugin (using your own server, CDN, bandwidth, etc.), eventually you are apparently forced to pay Kaltura hosting/bandwidth fees by upgrading your account if you want to use more than their 10GB free limit. (10GB will be used up very quickly if you are hosting many videos and have many readers of your blog.) When you click the upgrade account button on their site, you are asked to provide your name and phone number to get information on how much it will cost. They don't list a pricing structure. I'm ditching this plugin because it is too controlling and limited, and Kaltura has not been transparent, IMHO.

   I totally agree. I accessed this from a page that talked about hosting your own videos and WordPress was one of the options. Don't waste your time unless you want to buy something from them.

   Hi,

   Thanks for writing. Your feedback is not accurate, as we do have a self serve community edition that lets you host all the media on your servers. You are welcome to check it out at

   But Self Hosted does not work with the Plugin?

   It is a great project and I hope you succeed, but would be great to have videos hosted locally on some projects.

   Hi,
   It works perfectly with the plugin! You can find a good integration guide here: http://kce.demos.kaltura.org/kalturaCE/help/wordpress-kaltura_integration.html

   Idos,

   Will the community edition work with WordPress 2.8.4?

   The plugin is not yet compatible to WordPress 2.8 and up - however, almost all of the features should work. We are working towards a new release that will be 2.8 compatible.

   IdoS, I have a question for you... I'm looking for a video player to use on a commercial blog (I offer WordPress setup and design services, as well as hosting a tutorial library.) I haven't found anything on your site that implies there are restriction for commercial use of the player/plugin, but wanted to be sure before I implemented it.
