The problem with Kaltura videos in automatically retracted blocks looks
to be related to the external javascript from Kaltura the Mahara block
fetches to render the video.

The Mahara block sets up some video information on page load
 - but when the block is auto retracted it seems the video player knows it is not 'visible' on page and so fails to load some info. 

I get this error: embedPlayer.kalturaPlayerMetaData is null

We probably need to alter how we load/start the Kaltura video and do it
in a more controlled way. Possibly using the info here
http://player.kaltura.com/docs/index.php?path=kwidget so that we can
load the video on either page load or when a button is clicked (in this
case when we expand the collapsed block)
