Elastic Transcoder

cancel_job(id)
cancel_job(id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

The CancelJob operation cancels an unfinished job. You can only cancel a job that has a status of Submitted. To prevent a pipeline from starting to process a job while you're getting the job identifier, use UpdatePipelineStatus to temporarily pause the pipeline.

Arguments

• id: The identifier of the job that you want to cancel. To get a list of the jobs (including their jobId) that have a status of Submitted, use the ListJobsByStatus API action.

create_job(pipeline_id)
create_job(pipeline_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

When you create a job, Elastic Transcoder returns JSON data that includes the values that you specified plus information about the job that is created. If you have specified more than one output for your jobs (for example, one output for the Kindle Fire and another output for the Apple iPhone 4s), you currently must use the Elastic Transcoder API to list the jobs (as opposed to the AWS Console).

Arguments

• pipeline_id: The Id of the pipeline that you want Elastic Transcoder to use for transcoding. The pipeline determines several settings, including the Amazon S3 bucket from which Elastic Transcoder gets the files to transcode and the bucket into which Elastic Transcoder puts the transcoded files.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

• "Input": A section of the request body that provides information about the file that is being transcoded.
• "Inputs": A section of the request body that provides information about the files that are being transcoded.
• "Output": A section of the request body that provides information about the transcoded (target) file. We strongly recommend that you use the Outputs syntax instead of the Output syntax.
• "OutputKeyPrefix": The value, if any, that you want Elastic Transcoder to prepend to the names of all files that this job creates, including output files, thumbnails, and playlists.
• "Outputs": A section of the request body that provides information about the transcoded (target) files. We recommend that you use the Outputs syntax instead of the Output syntax.
• "Playlists": If you specify a preset in PresetId for which the value of Container is fmp4 (Fragmented MP4) or ts (MPEG-TS), Playlists contains information about the master playlists that you want Elastic Transcoder to create. The maximum number of master playlists in a job is 30.
• "UserMetadata": User-defined metadata that you want to associate with an Elastic Transcoder job. You specify metadata in key/value pairs, and you can add up to 10 key/value pairs per job. Elastic Transcoder does not guarantee that key/value pairs are returned in the same order in which you specify them.

create_pipeline(input_bucket, name, role)
create_pipeline(input_bucket, name, role, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

The CreatePipeline operation creates a pipeline with settings that you specify.

Arguments

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

• "AwsKmsKeyArn": The AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key that you want to use with this pipeline. If you use either s3 or s3-aws-kms as your Encryption:Mode, you don't need to provide a key with your job because a default key, known as an AWS-KMS key, is created for you automatically. You need to provide an AWS-KMS key only if you want to use a non-default AWS-KMS key, or if you are using an Encryption:Mode of aes-cbc-pkcs7, aes-ctr, or aes-gcm.
• "ContentConfig": The optional ContentConfig object specifies information about the Amazon S3 bucket in which you want Elastic Transcoder to save transcoded files and playlists: which bucket to use, which users you want to have access to the files, the type of access you want users to have, and the storage class that you want to assign to the files. If you specify values for ContentConfig, you must also specify values for ThumbnailConfig. If you specify values for ContentConfig and ThumbnailConfig, omit the OutputBucket object. Bucket: The Amazon S3 bucket in which you want Elastic Transcoder to save transcoded files and playlists.

create_preset(container, name)
create_preset(container, name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

The CreatePreset operation creates a preset with settings that you specify. Elastic Transcoder checks the CreatePreset settings to ensure that they meet Elastic Transcoder requirements and to determine whether they comply with H.264 standards. If your settings are not valid for Elastic Transcoder, Elastic Transcoder returns an HTTP 400 response (ValidationException) and does not create the preset. If the settings are valid for Elastic Transcoder but aren't strictly compliant with the H.264 standard, Elastic Transcoder creates the preset and returns a warning message in the response. This helps you determine whether your settings comply with the H.264 standard while giving you greater flexibility with respect to the video that Elastic Transcoder produces. Elastic Transcoder uses the H.264 video-compression format. For more information, see the International Telecommunication Union publication Recommendation ITU-T H.264: Advanced video coding for generic audiovisual services.

Arguments
