How do I play video
any stats available on watched videos?
No, video stats not yet available.. only general usage stats (like storage and bandwidth consumptions) here https://publit.io/dashboard
and on each file view page you can see Hits (number of plays/streams)
On the android SDK, I understand calling an instance of the Publitio class (Publitio publitio = new Publitio(this) ) gives you the option of querying folders or files details when supplied with a Map of strings ( 'publitio.folders().foldersList(map, new PublitioCallback<JsonObject>() ... ' ), but my videos are segmented into a list of subject folders, and in each subject folder another set of folders based off topics. I would like to know how I can query through these folders in my media library. Please note that I know how to get a list of all the folders/all files as JSON objects. My question is more of how I can get access to video files in a specific folder amidst the others.
Simply saying "you need https://publit.io/docs/#list-files and pass tags + folder query param" does not make things clear. perhaps an example of how this can be used might help. Please be more explicit. An example stating
HOW TO PASS tags
HOW TO ADD (+) folder query params.
If I am using this URL( as stated by you) to call a list of my file's details, do I have to pass a key or credentials in the url as well?
Hi, I just signed up. I am trying to integrate Publitio as a media asset manager (MAM) system for an app I am currently working on. I intended to display a list of all of the videos hosted on my Publitio account with titles as well as each video duration. I would like to know how I can query my media library for my hosted video information. please help or point to a document detailing how I can do this.
For library query (search) use LIST FILES CALL : https://publit.io/docs/#list-files and tags query param
FYI – perhaps during development, a hidden/unaccessable folder called 'testing01' was created that doesn't show up when listing/tree of folders, however causes a bug if trying to create a folder with that name.Trying to create such a folder returns the following error:"The folder with name 'testing01' in this path already exists. Choose another name."
Thanks for the link to this article. Aha, that was one suspicion as I tried making another root level folder and kept failing. Would be interesting to know why it's implemented this way.. but I'm guessing for simplicity on your end where storing all files. Seems like prefixing the account id to each root folder could avoid the issue... Will use more characters when making folder names.
Really enjoying your whole setup and API, but ran into a strange issue... when grabbing my list of images via API, the `url_thumbnail` is always in landscape format (300x200) – shouldn't this be based on the orientation? ie. landscape » 300x200, portrait » 200x300, square: 300x300? (or even better if those general sizes were specific to the aspect ratio of the image). Slowly learning about creating/uploading images, where of course I can customize an available version... just thought it could be helpful to implement as default.
Does the creation of default thumb size, 300x200px consume storage and bandwidth?
If yes, is it possible to disable it? thank you.
So in publitio the video runs fine but in learn dash/WordPress it says processing try again later... also what are all the different versions for? Can I delete some of them?
please read https://support.publit.io/hc/en-us/articles/360008172838-How-long-does-it-take-to-process-videos-uploaded-to-Publitio-
on first visit (video play) we create versions (360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p video formats)
best not to delete them, as you will see that Processing Video message again, when that video format is requested again
Hi! How to add a caption for a photo when adding a file with Publitio plugin (not offloading)?
You need to approach any photo shoot responsibly and know the basic nuances. Information about https://skylum.com/blog/angle-in-photography angles in photography helped with this issue; this is a very important nuance. Take a look, I think it will help you in your work.
I wanted to start an online course. Can we protect the video from being downloaded?
Does api allow offline mode, where users can download videos for offline use but video files cannot be shared ?
api can return mp4 link, but your app needs to save it locally if you want it for offline use
