Disable or deregister from Kaltura

You can disable CMS using the Admin panel and still select Pearl Mini as a resource using Kaltura MediaSpace. However, the events schedule won't synchronize on Pearl Mini and any events that are scheduled to start while CMS is disabled do not start on Pearl Mini. If CMS is re-enabled on Pearl Mini before the event is scheduled to end, that event will start automatically after the events schedule is refreshed on Pearl Mini, see View scheduled CMS events and history.

Existing events that are already associated with the device do not lose their association when CMS is disabled. As soon as you re-enable Kaltura CMS on Pearl Mini, you can record and stream events as usual. CMS is disabled by default.

Deregistering removes Pearl Mini from Kaltura's list of resources and any existing events that were associated with that resource lose their association. You must select a new resource for those events using MediaSpace.

Content Management Systems (CMSs) can change channel settings automatically. After disabling CMS on Pearl Mini, check your channel settings or apply a configuration preset to restore your channel to known values.

Important considerations

  • You cannot start ad hoc (manual) Kaltura events when CMS is disabled or when Pearl Mini has been deregistered.
  • When CMS is disabled or Pearl Mini is deregistered, existing scheduled events that are associated with the device do not record or stream.
  • If Pearl Mini is deregistered, existing events associated with that device lose the association. You must select a new resource for those events.
  • Ensure the deregistered Pearl Mini entry in the list of encoder devices on Kaltura disappears before registering again if using the same device name.
  • Do not disable CMS while an event is in progress.

After disabling or deregistering from Kaltura, the recording file size limit for the channels reset to 64 GB. Check to ensure this value does not exceed the maximum recording space allowed for the installed SD card and change the value to avoid unintentionally overwrite existing recordings. For more information about setting the recording file size limit, see Disable or deregister from Kaltura.
