Simple Upload

Initializing upload client object

Initialize a VodUploadClient instance with a TencentCloud API key.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");

Constructing upload request object

Set the local media upload path.
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");

Calling upload method

Call the upload method and pass in the access point region and upload request.
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}
Note:
The upload method automatically selects simple upload or multipart upload based on the file size, eliminating your need to take care of every step in multipart upload.

Advanced Features

Uploading cover

VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");
request.setCoverFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.jpg");
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}

Specifying task flow

First, create a task flow template and name it. When initiating the task flow, you can set the Procedure parameter with the task flow template name, and the task flow will be executed automatically upon upload success.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");
request.setProcedure("Your Procedure Name");
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}

Uploading to subapplication

Pass in a subapplication ID. After the upload is successful, the resource will belong only to the specified subapplication.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");
request.setSubAppId(101);
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}

Specifying storage region

In the console, confirm that the target storage region has been activated. If not, you can do so as instructed in Upload Storage Settings and then set the abbreviation of the storage region through the StorageRegion attribute.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");
request.setStorageRegion("ap-chongqing");
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}

Specifying the number of concurrent parts

The number of concurrent parts is applicable to uploading a large file in multiple parts simultaneously. The advantage of multipart upload lies in that a large file can be uploaded quickly. The SDK automatically selects simple upload or multipart upload based on the file size, eliminating your need to take care of every step in multipart upload. The number of concurrent parts of the file is specified by the ConcurrentUploadNumber parameter.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");
request.setConcurrentUploadNumber(5);
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}

Uploading with temporary credentials

Pass in the relevant key information of the temporary credentials to use the temporary credentials for authentication and upload.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("Credentials TmpSecretId", "Credentials TmpSecretKey", "Credentials Token");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}

Setting upload proxy

Set an upload proxy, and then the protocol and data involved will be processed by the proxy. In this way, you can use the proxy to upload files to Tencent Cloud over your organization's private network.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/Wildlife.wmv");
HttpProfile httpProfile = new HttpProfile();
httpProfile.setProxyHost("your proxy ip");
httpProfile.setProxyPort(8080); //your proxy port
client.setHttpProfile(httpProfile);
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}

Uploading adaptive bitstream file

The adaptive bitstream formats supported by this SDK for upload include HLS and DASH, and the media files referenced by the manifest (M3U8 or MPD) must be relative paths (i.e., URLs and absolute paths cannot be used) and be located in the same-level directory or subdirectory of manifest (i.e., ../ cannot be used). When calling the SDK's upload APIs, enter the manifest path as the MediaFilePath parameter, and the SDK will parse the list of related media files and upload them together.
VodUploadClient client = new VodUploadClient("your secretId", "your secretKey");
VodUploadRequest request = new VodUploadRequest();
request.setMediaFilePath("/data/videos/prog_index.m3u8");
try {
VodUploadResponse response = client.upload("ap-guangzhou", request);
logger.info("Upload FileId = {}", response.getFileId());
} catch (Exception e) {
// The business team performs troubleshooting
logger.error("Upload Err", e);
}
