Hello,
I’m not really clear on how you’re using Kaltura. Are you using wp_localize_script() inside the post where the video is (in conjunction with a plugin that allows you to place PHP code inside a post)?
When you say everything is working except for your videos, what does that look like? Do the videos not load? Are the proper permissions not being detected?
A few more details would be helpful to troubleshoot this issue. 🙂

I have a custom template for a custom post type. It currently calls a function that returns everything needed to embed the player (including external js for player controls and js snippet to embed with variables). Since the current way is getting cached, I have since tried to use wp_localize_script to include the snippet with the variables. But it outputs to the page so it will get cached as well.
The main variable I am worried about is the Kaltura Session ID. It is a session id that can be unique to the user and has various expires. We currently have a paid membership and paid rental options.
The player is fine and works. But since it is cached, the cache version may go beyond the rental period of 2 days. For a membership, it really does not matter except when the id does expire or the member cancels his/her membership it needs to be updated immediately.

Any and all help would be appreciated.
If you’re running a membership site, or any site where users login, I recommend setting Quick Cache to maintain a separate cache for each user, that way session IDs and other information relevant to a specific user don’t end up getting cached and served to other visitors.
The Lite version of Quick Cache doesn’t have the option to maintain a separate cache for logged-in users, but Quick Cache Pro does have this option. Please see the screenshot of the Logged-In Users option panel here: https://github.com/websharks/quick-cache/wiki/Plugin-Options#logged-in-users
