AddVideo
Add a new video and properties associated with it.
An encoded video must be provided in the array of blobs.
Parameters
[optional] _ref: Reference to be used within the transaction.
[optional] codec: Specifies the codec in which the video will be stored.
[optional] container: Specified the container in which the video will be stored.
[optional] index_frames: Specifies that an index will be created for key-frames of the video.
[optional] properties
[optional] if_not_found
[optional] connect
[optional] operations
Details
properties are key-value pairs associated with the entity. Check properties for more details.
if_not_found can be used to turn this command into “conditional add”. Check if_not_found for more details.
connect can be used to create a connection between the added object and other object(s). Check connect for more details.
The index_frame parameter, when “true”, will trigger the creation of a key-frame index for the video. The index is used to perform partial decoding rather than full decoding, which results in reduced memory consumption and faster frame retrieval. Creating the key-frame index for a video will make the command take longer to process. Key-frame indexes are only supported for H.264 encoded videos.
Examples
Insert a video with properties, resize to 1080p resolution, and transcode to H.264 before persisting it:
[ {
"AddVideo": {
"codec": "h264",
"container": "mp4",
"properties" : {
"name" : "The Shinning",
"length" : 186
},
"operations": [
{
"type": "resize",
"w": 1920,
"h": 1080,
}
]
}
} ]
# A blob must be passed together with the JSON Query.
Insert a new video with properties, resize to 1080p resolution, and create a connection between the new video and an Entity of the class “Category” where the “name” property is “Comedy”:
[ {
"FindEntity": {
"with_class": "Category",
"_ref": 1,
"unique": true,
"constraints": {
"name": ["==", "Comedy"]
}
}
}
}, {
"AddVideo": {
"properties" : {
"name" : "Mean Girls",
"length" : 97
},
"operations": [
{
"type": "resize",
"w": 1920,
"h": 1080,
}
],
"connect": {
"ref": 1,
"class": "IsOfCategory"
}
}
} ]
# A blob must be passed together with the JSON Query.
