Kaltura MediaSpace: Download MediaSpace media file as the owner

Download a media file from your MediaSpace account

Download from the Flavors tab when editing the media

As the video owner, you can download the source media file when editing the media. 

  1. Log in to Kaltura MediaSpace.
  2. Navigate to the My Media page. 
  3. From the media's menu, select Edit.
    The Edit option from the media's menu, along with options for Publish status, Add/Remove from folders, Analytics, and Delete.
  4. Select the Flavors tab.
  5. In the table that appears, each line represents an available flavor type:
    • Flavors that have Status = READY can be downloaded by selecting Flavor Actions, then Download.
    • Flavors that have Status = NOT_APPLICABLE or blank (no value) do not exist. These flavors can be processed manually by selecting Flavor Actions, then Reconvert.
    • Notes:
      • Converting new flavors is generally not necessary and is an option if you need to download different sizes of media in Kaltura.
      • After you select Reconvert, it will take some time for the new Flavor to be processed.
      • You may need to reload the page and revisit the Flavors tab to download the new Flavor.
      • In some cases, the Source flavor will not be available due to flavor optimization. This is expected, and attempts to convert the Source flavor will fail.
