Version 1
This extension provides a way for clients to obtain a server’s decision on whether a media file should be transcoded and to retrieve the transcoded stream if necessary.
This extension requires the following endpoints:
getTranscodeDecision: Returns a transcode decision for a given media file. Standard parameters are still provided through the URL as usual. However, because client playback capabilities can be complex, they must be supplied in the request body as a JSON-encoded payload. For this reason, this endpoint uses the POST method rather than GET.getTranscodeStream: Returns a transcoded media stream.
