uiConfig file of choice.

4. Explanation of Configurable Options in the Plugin
The generated code automatically assigns 4 customizable parameters to the plugin. You should not need to edit
any of these parameters; however, if you wish to do so, here is an explanation of each of them.
source: This is the special key for the specific gallery and collection of vidgets
you want to load. The embed section of the gallery will pre-generate this name for
you. However, if you wish to change gallery quickly without going back into the
Studio to generate the embed code, you can do that here. This will be the most
common parameter that you might change in order to display different galleries on
different videos.
broadcasterKey: This is the special key for your broadcaster that you can find in
the Studio. This key will be generated for you from the Studio Embed page.
servicesUrl: This is the base url of the services that your loaded gallery will
use. If you want to test or develop with test services, or you just wish to load up
dummy data from a specific server you can point to that service here. For most use
cases you will not want to change these. [Do you see a reason to deal with this?]
?][Just for completeness sake, we can delete it]
galleryUrl: This is the location of the gallery swf that Kaltura will load. If you
require a special debug version of the gallery for testing or development, you can
point to that file here. For most use cases you will not want to change this. [Do
you see a reason to deal with this?][Just for completeness sake, we can delete it]
Width: By default this is set to 100%, however like all Kaltura Plugins this can be
changed to any number, even 0% if for some reason you want to hide the gallery but
still load it.
Height: By default this is set to 100%, however like all Kaltura Plugins this can
be changed to any number, even 0% if for some reason you want to hide the gallery
but still load it.
