Portal Specs: Upload Tool

Uploader

• Protocol specifications here: https://github.com/Paratii-Video/wiki/wiki/Protocol-Description:-Upload-Video

• some use cases are here: https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-usecases/labels/upload%20tool

• First iteration focusing on https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-usecases/issues/1 and https://github.com/Paratii-Video/paratii-usecases/issues/5 - upload a single video from your device, and edit some basic data.

Functionality of first iteration:

• screen 1: upload your video
• /uploader/upload-file
• a simple drag-n-drop field for uploading yr vids (i.e. what is now on player.paratii.video/upload)

On the backend side, this will create a unique videoId, then call paratii.core.uploadVideo(videoId, ...), which start an async process (which may end half an hour later).

• Rip from youtube

  • log in on YT
  • give URL of video

• rip from Vimeo

• screen 2: edit data

A screen with title, description, tags, etc.

On the backend side, this will call paratii.core.vids.add(videoId, ....)

• /uploader/video/edit/{videoId}: edit the data of the video. This will be the entry point to change the data of the video (title, description, tags, owner), add the video to a playlist, and to choose a monetization model (not in scope right now)

• (not in first iteration): monetization options

• screen 3: you are done

• /uplaoder/video/status/{videoId}

This screen simply shows the link to player.paratii.video/player/{videoId}, with a message that your video will "shortly be available"
