How to upload video to ooyala backlot with javascript v4?

[JD]

 Hi

I am using an interpreter to write my text. Please understand.

I am beginner developer.

I succeeded in running the video with the ooyala player.

ex)

let playerParam = {
 "pcode" : "pcode~~~",
 "playerBrandingId" : player_id,
 "autoplay" : false,
 "loop" : false
};

ooyala.Player.create("ooyala-player", content_id, playerParam)

But I want to upload the video to the backlot using javascript in the web page.

I have looked at the Player v4 JavaScript API Reference but it does not understand.

ooyala.video.register(videoPlugin)

    Name Type Description

videoPlugin

object

The video plugin object to be registered.

 What is the videoPlugin object? hah...

How can I upload an mp4 file from a web page?

Hi JD,

There are two options to upload a video from a webpage:

1. Use the Backlot API using js, this documentation can help:

http://help.ooyala.com/video-platform/concepts/ingestion_backlot_api.html

2. Develop a backend from your side so you can connect to ooyala ftp server ,  and use ftp to ingest the videos to backlot.  (This requiers a custom development).
