Bulk Loading Videos
-------------------
Videos and their corresponding png images can be copied into /library/ka-lite/content and will
be recognized the next time kalite is started. The kalite website has instructions on getting
videos with bitsync. These videos are also smaller than the ones downloaded with the kalite
admin interface.
Videos and their corresponding png images can be copied into /library/ka-lite/content and will be recognized the next time kalite is started. Please see http://FAQ.IIAB.IO ("KA Lite Administration: What tips & tricks exist?") to use BitTorrent to download compressed KA Lite videos, that are much smaller than the ones downloaded with KA Lite's administrative interface.
As of August 2018, please also consider the `"Transmission" BitTorrent tool <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/tree/master/roles/transmission#transmission-readme>`_ that will automatically download thousands of KA Lite videos for you, if install and enable it and set the language(s) you want within /etc/iiab/local_vars.yml
Configuration Parameters
------------------------
Please look in defaults/main.yml for the default values of the various install parameters. Everything
in this readme assumes the default values.
Look at `role/kalite/defaults/main.yml <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/kalite/defaults/main.yml>`_ for the default values of the various install parameters.
Trouble Shooting
----------------
Troubleshooting
---------------
Starting with kalite 0.15 you can run the server manually with the following commands:
Starting with KA Lite 0.15 (October 2015) you can run the server manually with the following commands:
* systemctl stop kalite-serve (make sure the systemd service is not running)
* export KALITE_HOME=/library/ka-lite (point kalite to the right environment)
* kalite start (start the server; can take more than 10 minutes in some environment)
* kalite start (start the server; can take more than 10 minutes in some environments)
To return to using the systemd unit:
* export KALITE_HOME=/library/ka-lite (point kalite to the right environment)
* kalite stop
* systemctl start kalite-serve
*In late 2017, Internet-in-a-Box added a virtual environment (/usr/local/kalite/venv/) to keep KA Lite's Python and PHP package risks under control. As such the command* `/usr/bin/kalite <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/kalite/templates/kalite.sh.j2>`_ *is a wrapper to this virtualenv.*
