1. Add source via AddMediaBenchmark API call.
XML should reflect the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <query> <userid>xxx</userid> <userkey>yyy</userkey> <action>AddMediaBenchmark</action> <source>http://domain.com/source/file/url</source> </query>
2. Store Media ID returned by API for next 2 steps.
3. Get media duration by using GetMediaInfo call.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <query> <userid>xxx</userid> <userkey>yyy</userkey> <action>GetMediaInfo</action> <mediaid>3402153</mediaid> </query>
API will return the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <response> <bitrate>518k</bitrate> <duration>723.09</duration> <audio_bitrate>256K</audio_bitrate> <audio_duration>1253</audio_duration> <video_duration>1253</video_duration> <video_codec>mpeg2video</video_codec> <frame_rate>29.97</frame_rate> <size>320x240</size> <video_bitrate>104857k</video_bitrate> <pixel_aspect_ratio>1:1</pixel_aspect_ratio> <display_aspect_ratio>4:3</display_aspect_ratio> <audio_codec>mp2</audio_codec> <audio_sample_rate>44100</audio_sample_rate> <audio_channels>2</audio_channels> <format>mpeg-ps</format> <format_profile>Main@Main</format_profile> <scan_type>Progressive</scan_type> </response>
Pay attention only the <video_duration>1253</video_duration> tag.
Based on the video duration they should calculate how many segments they will have for given segment lenght. For this particular example and their segment lenght = 600s here will be 3 segments 600+600+53 seconds.
4. Update media and add formats based on calculated number of segments.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <query> <userid>xxx</userid> <userkey>yyy</userkey> <action>UpdateMedia</action> <mediaid>3402153</mediaid> <format> <output>mp4</output> <start>0</start> <duration>600</duration> </format> <format> <output>mp4</output> <start>600</start> <duration>600</duration> </format> <format> <output>mp4</output> <start>1200</start> <duration>53</duration> </format> </query>
Important! You should add all formats by one UpdateMedia call.
