Multi-part upload for VOD 📑

It is now possible to upload videos larger than 5GB directly to Dacast thanks to the multi-part upload.

Three new endpoints have been added: initiate, get pre-signed URLs and complete multi-part upload.

Good to know:

The workflow is as follows:

1. Initiate the multi-part upload - This starts the upload process.
2. Request s3 pre-signed URLs
3. Upload chunks of your video directly to s3 thanks to the pre-signed URLs
4. Ask for more URLs if needed (iii)
5. Complete the multi-part upload and get your vod_id

Notes:

• Parts of the video must be larger than 5MB, except for the last one.
• You can request a maximum of 100 part signatures in one API call.
• The signed links have to be used with the PUT verb. Do not forget to keep the ETag header somewhere on your side to be able to complete the upload at the end.

You will also find two endpoints in the new settings section to retrieve your available recipes and the preset descriptions.
