After you correctly configure the VOD Orchestration, the orchestration execution will be automatically triggered for videos you upload to the designated bucket directory, and the output files will be written into the designated bucket directory. You can configure the task, including audio/video transcoding, audio/video enhancement, watermarking, screenshot, animated graphic conversion, moderation, content discovery, and content analysis.
2. On the page that appears, create the orchestration based on the business scenario requirements and configure relevant information.
Configure Orchestration
Configuration Item
Required
Configuration Description
Trigger type
-
By default, "Tencent Cloud COS" is selected, indicating that the bucket that triggers the orchestration belongs to Tencent COS.
When "AWS" is selected, the trigger bucket belongs to AWS S3. This option can be selected if the bucket is configured on AWS services. Refer to Using Amazon S3 Buckets with MPS for detailed information.
Orchestration name
Yes
You can enter a combination of letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens (_). The length cannot exceed 128 characters. Example: "MPS".
Trigger bucket
Yes
You can select a bucket created under this APPID as the trigger bucket. Once the orchestration is enabled, video file upload to this bucket will automatically trigger the orchestration execution.
Trigger directory
No
The directory should end with a forward slash (/). If left unspecified, all directories of the trigger bucket can trigger the orchestration execution.
Output bucket
Yes
By default, the output bucket is the same as the trigger bucket. You can also select another bucket in the same region corresponding to the specified APPID as the output bucket. Newly generated video files will be stored in the selected bucket once the service orchestration is completed.
Output directory
No
The directory should end with a forward slash (/). If left unspecified, the trigger directory will be taken as the output directory.
Once enabled, the transcoding process and result data will be sent through the selected notification method.
Off-peak transcoding
-
If this feature is enabled, initiated transcoding tasks will be executed during off-peak hours of resource usage. The timeliness of the transcoding process dynamically changes based on Tencent Cloud's resource utilization. (High timeliness of transcoding cannot be guaranteed.)
You can quickly build a process by defining process nodes and templates of the service orchestration.
Associate Resource
No
This configuration option will only appear if cost allocation has been enabled in the General Management > General Settings.
After resources are associated, cost allocation can be performed for the bill related to this orchestration based on the resource-bound tags. If you need to modify resources, go to Cost Allocation Management.
Configure Event Notification
This feature can provide real-time updates on the progress and status during task execution. You can enable and configure this feature to receive notifications. Currently, Tencent Cloud provides three event notification mechanisms: TDMQ-CMQ callbacks, HTTP callbacks, and SCF callbacks. Detailed information is as follows:
Callback Type
Configuration Description
TDMQ-CMQ callbacks
To enable TDMQ-CMQ callback, go to the TDMQ console to activate the CMQ service and create a model. Once enabled, the specified CMQ service will receive event notifications from MPS. You need to fill in the following information:
TDMQ-CMQ model: Queue model is selected by default.
TDMQ-CMQ region: You can select Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Shanghai Finance, Shenzhen Finance, Hong Kong (China), Chengdu, North America, or West US.
Queue name: Custom.
HTTP callbacks
When calling the event notification configuration API TaskNotifyConfig, specify the NotifyType parameter to URL and fill in the HTTP callback address in the NotifyUrl parameter.
SCF callbacks
1. SCF can rapidly process and operate on callback events triggered by MPS. The overall data processing workflow is shown in the following figure:
2. Events are sent to SCF through the MPS trigger. SCF adopts a serverless architecture and can process and respond to callback events.
3. You can click Go to SCF console to configure a function. For specific configuration method, please refer to MPS Task Callback Notification. Note:
The SCF callback configuration applies to all orchestrations but is not saved specifically for the current orchestration.
Corresponding computing fees will incur after the data is sent to SCF. For more information, refer to Billing Overview.
Configure Actions
You can define the entire service process, add various service nodes (such as audio/video transcoding, audio/video enhancement, intelligent analysis and screenshot ), and apply different templates to each node. The detailed configuration is described as follows:
1. Click the + button to select the required action from the drop-down list and add it.
2. After the action is added, the action node is displayed. You can then configure detailed information on the node.
3. Click
on the node to enter a pop-up window for edition. You can select the required action and configure the output for the node. If you do not configure the output, the output information specified in the basic information of orchestration will apply.
Note
The configuration pages vary for different actions. The following figure shows the page of the audio/video transcoding action.
Enabling an Orchestration to Activate Automatic Task Triggering
Once an orchestration is created, it is disabled by default.
After the orchestration is enabled, automatic task triggering is activated. When files are uploaded to the trigger bucket configured for the orchestration, the system automatically initiates processing tasks, without the need to manually create tasks in the console.
If the orchestration is disabled, MPS tasks will not be executed for video files uploaded to the trigger bucket.
Note:
Once the orchestration is enabled, it only takes effect in video files newly uploaded to the trigger bucket. Files previously stored in the trigger bucket will not be automatically processed.
You can find the trigger bucket & output bucket configured for the orchestration in the menu Orchestration > COS Bucket \page, to conveniently carry out operations such as file upload, preview, download, etc.
Editing and Deleting an Orchestration
Editing a VOD Orchestration
Click Edit in the operation column of the target orchestration to enter the Orchestration Editing page. Then, you can modify the orchestration name, trigger bucket, trigger directory, output bucket, output directory, event notification, and configuration items.
Deleting a VOD Orchestration
Click Delete in the operation column of the target orchestration to delete it.
After the orchestration is deleted, MPS tasks will not be executed for video files uploaded to the trigger bucket.
Note:
When the orchestration is enabled, it cannot be edited or deleted.
