Thanks for checking in. I have been occupied by other projects, but hopefully will be able to spend time on this again today, and this does sound very helpful.
It looks like I reached an older, less useful version of the client library and test console when I googled “Kaltura client libraries” (http://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testme/client-libs.php), although at least the packages are the same.
Thanks!
