i am having issues embedding a video file any thoughts?

when your on the financial aid website and you click on the video. the video is embedded and and window pops up with the URL (below)

http://embed.financialaidtv.com/cms/embed/video/9390?hd=&iid=131&w=640&h=480&ap=1

i figured out the video file name is 9390, the last half of the code gives the dimension of the player and screen size.
the video they want to replace it with the link is (below) but its not embedded its just a link to the video.

http://fullerton.financialaidtv.com/#playlist-12064:video-3
what i tired was replacing the 9390 with 12064 (like below) but the wrong video pops up.

http://embed.financialaidtv.com/cms/embed/video/12064?hd=&iid=131&w=640&h=480&ap=1

then i replaced 9390 with it with this #playlist-12064:video-3(below)

http://embed.financialaidtv.com/cms/embed/video/#playlist-12064:video-3?hd=&iid=131&w=640&h=480&ap=1

and i get an error that file is not found. i know that this is the file name of the video they want #playlist-12064:video-3but it doesnt work.

Quick diagnosis and why your edits failed: the #playlist-12064:video-3 part is a client-side fragment that the portal/player uses to pick an item from a playlist. Browser fragments (the text after #) are not sent to the server, so stuffing that into a server-side embed path will produce “file not found.” The player/embed code itself expects a media entry ID (an entry_id or similar), not the playlist fragment. (developer.mozilla.org)

Why replacing 9390 with 12064 gave the wrong video: 9390 looks like the single-media entry the original embed calls. 12064 is a playlist identifier; the playlist UI maps that index to a different entry at runtime. To embed a single video you must use the actual entry ID for that playlist item, or embed the playlist player and ask the player to play item index N. (knowledge.kaltura.com)

How to get the correct embed and/or raw file URL (practical troubleshooting):

  • Use the portal’s Share & Embed dialog (if available) to copy the official embed code for that exact item. (knowledge.kaltura.com)
  • In your browser devtools, click the playlist item and watch Network/XHR for requests that include entry_id, entryId, kwidget or playManifest — those reveal the real entry ID or stream manifest. (knowledge.kaltura.com)
  • If you need a direct MP4/HLS URL (so a <video> tag would work), that URL usually must be obtained via the platform’s API (playManifest / flavorAsset.geturl) or via the KMC — it will often require permissions or a session token. Trying to point <video> at an embed-widget page will not work. (knowledge.kaltura.com)

Suggested next steps for (and note for ): find the entry ID for the playlist item, then replace the embed’s entry_id (or use the Share & Embed iframe/dynamic code) rather than inserting the hash fragment. If embedding a specific playlist index is required, use the player API to load the playlist and call the playlist playItem(index) method. Example iframe pattern (fill in your partner/uiconf/entry values): 

<iframe src="https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/{partnerId}/embedIframeJs/uiconf_id/{uiconfId}?iframeembed=true&entry_id={entryId}" width="640" height="480"></iframe>

Use the official embed code when possible. (knowledge.kaltura.com)

Here is the URL for the video.

Use the <video> tag (or previous version of) and link directly to it.
