jwplayer-s3-upload

A NodeJS wrapper for uploading videos to JWPlayer via S3.

How it works

• Uploads your video file to a bucket you own on S3
• Sends a request to JWPlayer to process the uploaded video
• Returns the file id from JWPlayer for your own storage

installation

npm install --save @iamsap/jwplayer-s3-upload

usage

var JWPlayerUploader = require('@iamsap/jwplayer-s3-upload');
var uploader = new JWPlayerUploader();
uploader.upload('/path/to/file.m4p', 'Look at me go!', function(err, response){
       console.log(JSON.stringify(response));
});

output

{
  "rate_limit": {
    "limit": 60,
    "remaining": 59,
    "reset": 1486914000
  },
  "status": "ok",
  "video": {
    "key": "nU2qBigV"
  }
}

config

.env.sample shows the environment variables jwplayer-s3-upload will use when connecting

export region=<aws-region>
export aws_access_key_id=<access-key-id>
export aws_secret_access_key=<secret-access-key-id>
export bucket=<bucket-name>

JWPlayer

You'll need to go to jwplayer.com and setup a free developer account. From there you will find your api key and secret. You will need those later.

Using Clack

Currently JWPlayer only supports python and php, so to make this work you'll need to install clack through the python package manager.

pip install --upgrade clack-cli
click init

Then you'll need to install keyring so you're not prompted for the password every time you use clack.

sudo pip install keyring

Clack requires that you setup the credentials in keyring so you won't be prompted for your api secret. Credentials for clack are stored in your config file at:

/Users/<username>/.clack/config.ini
