Kaltura Performance – Thursday, December 17 – 10:30PT
We are experiencing a delay with Media appearing in Course Media galleries or in Channels in the Teaching & Learning Portal . Some users may get an “API error” or “HTTP 500 error”. Refreshing the page may resolve the issue for some. We are currently investigating the issue and have escalated to Kaltura.

RESOLVED: Wednesday, December 9 – 11:00 PT – Caption Requests
There may be a delay in receiving Captions/Transcripts. Recently, we noticed that the Caption order request status retains an “Error” message although the Caption and Transcripts were processed. The issue has been escalated to the Vendor support as it was determined that the Caption process was making multiple copies of the transcript from a single Caption request which in turn may delay the delivery of the Captions.

RESOLVED:Friday, December 4 – 6:50 PM PT

Tuesday, October 27th – 09:30PT – Update: Slowness in Media Conversion
Additional resources were added to the Kaltura environment to help with the slow media conversion process. The queue is processing better but delays are still likely during peak hours.

Thursday, October 22 – 08:00PT – Update: Slowness in Media Conversion
Kaltura Engineers made a change on Tuesday, October 20th to address the Transcoding/Conversion process. We have been monitoring the system processes and the conversion times are not where we would like it to be. This has been reported and escalated to the Kaltura Engineers.
Issue: Users are waiting in excess of 6+hours for their media to appear after they upload it into Kaltura.
Status: Escalated to Kaltura and their Engineer team

Please contact lt.hub@ubc.ca for further information.

RESOLVED: Tuesday, Oct 20 – 11:00 PT: Slowness in Media Conversion processing
This morning Kaltura engineers identified an issue with the Batch Servers ‘Convert Profile closer service’ that was creating a bottleneck for the processing of video conversions. This issue has been resolved and the bottleneck removed. However, given the large number of media queued it may take some time to catch up. If you have media that must be made available immediately for teaching and learning please let us know the video name by submitting a ticket to the LT Hub and we will do our best to manually move it along if possible.

We apologize for this disruption and any delays experienced by faculty, staff and students.

COMPLETED: Kaltura Enterprise Video Platform Maintenance October 10, 2020, 06:00-09:00 PT

The maintenance window will address an incorrect configuration in the UBC Kaltura environment that has resulted in transcoding tasks and processing jobs being sent to the old Kaltura server environment (those servers that were used to host our environment prior to the August upgrade).

This has been identified as the cause for the longer than expected Transcoding process of media and/or failed processing jobs for some users. During this window, we will also be powering off the old Kaltura server environment.

Impact to Users:
– Users will still be able to watch and publish videos. However, users uploading media during the window may experience delays or unexpected results during upload.
– Users will NOT be able to Edit, Clip, Copy or make any changes to their media during the window.
