video-upload Basic Docs & Discord

by kitty4d

collecting all the stuff i can find about this API endpoint! you can jump around to the different sections here. jump, jump around.

DeSo Official Documentation | OG DeSo Discord - Technical Talk > technical-general | OG DeSo Discord - Technical Talk > technical-backend | DeSo Foundation Tech - DEVELOPERS > dev-general

i haven’t done any testing with any endpoints that attempt to create transactions, though i will start soon i think. probably right after i upload this post in fact. but so i don’t have any of my own code right now. but looking at the diamondapp code, i wonder if i can just test it without even needing to worry about DeSo Identity. i don’t see anything that restricts the upload to only uploads attached to a post. (seems like it would make sense to require it though?~)

but i’ll have to do some testing. i know the files are uploaded to cloudflare, and i think there are some features that might only be possible writing my own code, so it’ll be fun to test it out.

DeSo Documentation

and now for all the discord stuff i could find. not sure if any of it is all that useful though. i did go down some rabbit holes about people claiming they got hacked and stuff though. i wish i could stop myself from trying to figure out what happened LOL.

yeah, it's under a new field though
I think it's videoURL
lemme check again (edited)
@FreeTrade (member.cash) Sorry, it's EmbedVideoURL
It's in PostExtraData
Also Maebeam mentioned that json will be freeform, which is great (edited)
So although there's only one video rn, nodes could easilly implement more (Which is great as ImgClout was planning to do some super hacky shit for multiple media types to exist on one post)

@maebeam can't seem to find the video urls in the raw hex of SUBMIT_POST transactions - do the video urls form part of the transactions like the image urls, or are they stored somewhere else?

it is in ExtraData or whatever, not apart of the JSON in the raw data

it's weird to me that the image url is in the JSON and the video url is somewhere else

is it a separate transaction to the SUBMIT_POST transaction?

thanks!
so i guess the video url has got to be in the RawTransactionHex - it's just a matter of working out how to parse it out?

those files there are how you parse it, just translate the binary data structure into your language of choice
Avatar FreeTrade (member.cash)
so I compiled the transaction.ts into javascript - I've got a whole load of classes - but how to use them? I want to parse the raw data of a transaction and get the data inside the transaction

Not sure that's gonna work even if you succeed. the final moat is decyphering the final encrypted value - ex: "aF2DJsaf2as34lkjgSAfDJhgas=="

You need gcp buckets I believe and also there’s a cloudflare cdn option

guys! @znmead why do you have to tag @lazynina? just tag me and I will explain to you how video upload works. When you make a post and add video, video is uploaded and url is returned back to you, and player starts to play, as soon as video is uploaded, the transcoding process starts, transcoding takes time, so after high res variants of the video are available, only after that player can play them. There is a trick you can do, add video to the post, but do not submit post, let it stay in separate tab for few min, depends on the size of your video file and transcoding queue
