Kaltura MediaSpace: Download MediaSpace file as Owner

Summary

I created a video (such as in Zoom) that's stored in my MediaSpace account. How do I download the media file from My Media in MediaSpace?

Body

Download media from MediaSpace

  1. Log in to MediaSpace.
  2. On the My Media page, locate the video you are interested in, then to the right select Edit (pencil icon pencil icon).
  3. You can also access the Edit page through the specific media's Actions drop down menu.
    Media Actions drop down menu highlighting Edit
  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 Convert.
    • 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 Convert, 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.

Video Owners can also download content directly from the Edit player or enable the download option for all authenticated viewers for specific assets as well.

To download directly from the player with Downloads enabled:

  1. Click the Play button to start playing the media.
    The Play button on the media player
  2. In the media player, click the download button to open the download options. 
    The Download button in the media editor
  3. In the media player, click the main stream option to download the media file to your device. 
    Click the 'main stream' .mp4 source option to download the media file
  4. Check your device's downloads folder for the media file.
