VME Online Status URI

Once a video or audio content item is submitted for transcoding by VME Online, VME online returns the URI to which it publishes transcoding status information. The Content Engine adds this URI to the JSON map in the content item's video/audio field. For example:

{
  ...
  "status-uri":"http://vme-online-host/rest/digitalItem/status/146"
}

Your application can therefore retrieve status information about transcoding progress by sending requests to the content item's status-uri.

It is possible to define workflows where video or audio clips are submitted to VME Online for transcoding before they are added to content items, in which case you would need to add the status-uri key-value pair yourself. No such workflows are, however, described in this manual.
