go-video-packager

A video packager written in Go

This microservice provide a simple API that allows to:

• Upload MP4 content files
• Package uploaded content for MPEG-DASH
• Expose stream files for playback

Run

In order to run the app on docker through the use of docker-compose run the following:

$ cd go-video-packager   // go to the project directory
$ docker-compose build   // build all docker images
$ docker-compose up      // run all containers 

This will make docker run two containers. The app container and mongodb container.

Basic workflow

1. Upload content

Upload a file using /content endpoint. The response will include a content_id.

2. Package

Calling /package endpoint with the content_id and the encryption params will trigger a packaging job. The actual packaging will occur in a background process. The response will include a stream_id.

3. Get stream

Calling /streaminfo with the required stream_id will check for the packaging job status. If the packaging job is done, the response will provide a stream url and the needed params to play the stream.
