Description
In addition to using the REST API for video upload, you can also use it for replacing an existing video.
Similar to the video upload, video replacement also uses chunking. Note that the video will maintain the same metadata, channel ID and group ID.
To replace an existing video entity, you will create a new video source.
Then, you will receive the upload URL, which is then required for the uploading the replacement video.
Steps
To replace a video via the REST API, follow the steps listed below. While the first step is executed through the API, the upload is done via a separate asset-management endpoint.
- Create a video source in a specified VideoManager
- Upload a video
The following chapters describe how to perform each step using cURL to demonstrate usage in the examples.
The URLs in the methods throughout the following chapters refer to the general live instance of movingimage. Customers using VideoManager Pro on a custom domain must adjust the URLs accordingly.
