Feature request - bulk download

[chadcross]

Hello,

I was looking through the CMS and it looks great. I think it would be very helpful if there were a bulk download of the content that is up there. Or at the very least one thing at a time. Would be nice to download everything so we can back it up. Especially if we let other lower level users add media to our site. Because then we (site admin) wouldn't have the original photo/videos.

Not sure how video would be handled. You probably don't want to give away encoded files for free. Maybe it could be the original format that was uploaded?

Thanks.

Slightly off topic, but you can already download both mixes, and entries, although not currently through the CMS.

For information on how to download a mix, see this wiki entry.

To download an entry, you'll need to use the Get Entries API call to obtain a URL to where the original source file is stored on the Kaltura Network.

So although this functionality is not available on the CMS (well, at least not in its current form) - you could quite easily implement your own site with these options.

Thanks Chris. This might work. Maybe I can create a little module that downloads everything from Kaltura and stores it on the server as a backup.

Chad that sounds like a great idea...
Be great if you can share it with the rest of the community later

Will do. I am not a programmer but maybe I can hack my way through it.
