How do I tell the antmedia-Server about existing videos in my S3-Bucket?

[Eric Reichling]

Hi there,

TLDR: How do I tell the antmedia-Server about existing videos(VoDs) in my S3-Bucket?

I am currently working on a project where I want to use the antmedia-Server. For the VoDs I am using a S3 bucket and for the antmedia-Server a mongo-DB. 

Right now I can add and delete videos through the API. Everything works fine. 

But the customer already has like 100GB videos in a S3 bucket. My plan was to use the "synch-user-vod-list"-Request, from the API, to teach the antmedia-Server, so it knows about them all. But I just don't know how to define the "VoD Streaming Folder". I believe that's the issue.

Is my plan to use the "synch-user-vod-list"-Request the way to go and I only need to correctly define the "VoD Straming Folder" ?

Or do I need a different approach?

I want to avoid to upload the videos one by one.

Best regards and thanks in advance

Eric

Got a nice reply form the support. In case someone encounters the same problem.

You can mount S3 bucket to a folder in your instance via fuse adapter https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse

Then you let the Ant Media can access that folder and you can give that folder as "VoD Streaming Folder".
