Question: Back-end CIDs for uploaded content #16

Closed geebotron closed 3 years ago

geebotron commented 3 years ago

I believe the onrender back-end to file.video stores the uploaded video content in IPFS. Is it possible to retrieve the CIDs of the uploaded data objects should one want to "pin" the content oneself, to improve resilience and availability?

If so, how?

Yes! Suppose you have a video: https://file.video/v/4cd8b731-6424-4985-904c-62dc4abc6b08 You can use this asset_id in the demux get asset endpoint by going to https://demux.onrender.com/asset/4cd8b731-6424-4985-904c-62dc4abc6b08 In the stream_url ("stream_url": "https://demuxipfsrevproxy.onrender.com/ipfs/bafybeig3jqhhy2hcsnghrgvivm5q3rwn66fhtt6bganvd7lpbu7obehjfa/root.m3u8") you can find the CID: bafybeig3jqhhy2hcsnghrgvivm5q3rwn66fhtt6bganvd7lpbu7obehjfa

The videos are currently pinned on an ipfs node for quick access, and you can pin it to your ipfs node to improve resilience.
