September 2025 monthly summary for kaltura/server. Key delivery focused on extending reach management to support external media entries. Implemented mapping for ExternalMediaEntry to the ENTRY type in kReachManager, enabling recognition and processing of external media entries (e.g., YouTube) within reach management.
