encode-video

A go service, with both worker / server configurations available that handles batch video transcoding. Currently just a test project.

Dependencies

• Redis (global)
• ffmpeg (worker)
• s3-like endpoint (worker)

Server

go run main.go server

Runs a HTTP server listening on port 8082 accepting json encoded video encode requests at endpoint /encode_video.

Worker

go run main.go worker

Will process video encode requests then copy the file over to the CDN.

In action

Currently there is just the aforementioned HTTP endpoint to provide encode requests. For giving this project a whirl you can have an instance of a server and worker running, Redis and something S3-like, store a video file on it like what is in the example and run this curl command to operate:

curl -d @single.json -X POST http://localhost:8082/encode_video

There is also the option to do encode multiple files in one request with this query:

curl -d @single.json -X POST http://localhost:8082/encode/multi

Endpoints

• [POST] /encode/single create a video encode request. Accepts payload object json and returns task UUID.
• [POST] /encode/multi create multiple encode requests. Accepts payload array json and returns first task UUID.
• [GET] /pending view jobs that haven't been accepted by a worker.
• [GET] /status?uuid=[task uuid] view task status.
