sequence on version
sg_uploaded_movie is single-valued, and replacing it leaves sg_uploaded_movie_mp4 describing the old file while status reads 1. A sequence belongs in sg_path_to_frames.
API
Q Can a Version hold an image sequence as media, or only a single movie?
Endpoint GET /entity/versions/{id}/{field}/_upload ; POST {links.complete_upload}
Docs claim Silent. The docs describe uploading a file to a media field, never a sequence.
Actual
=== one upload per frame, same field
upload 1 (corridor_lookdev.0001.png) -> 201; field now holds 'corridor_lookdev.0001.png'
upload 2 (corridor_lookdev.0002.png) -> 201; field now holds 'corridor_lookdev.0002.png'
upload 3 (corridor_lookdev.0003.png) -> 201; field now holds 'corridor_lookdev.0003.png'
=> single-valued: each upload REPLACES, it does not accumulate
=== the same frames with no field in the path (probe 014)
corridor_lookdev.0001.png -> 201 type=Attachment
corridor_lookdev.0002.png -> 201 type=Attachment
attachments linked: 5 => Attachments DO accumulate, but are files, not media
=== then upload the .mov to the same field, and poll
t+ 0s status=0 mp4=None
t+ 75s status=1 fps=25.0 mp4='..._corridor_lookdev.0003.mp4' <- the REPLACED png
t+180s status=1 fps=25.0 mp4='..._corridor_lookdev.0003.mp4' <- stable, not in flight
sg_uploaded_movie = 'corridor_lookdev.mov' (the field itself is correct)
=== control: a fresh Version, one .mov, never replaced
t+ 20s status=0 fps=None mp4=None
t+ 60s status=1 fps=8.0 mp4='..._corridor_lookdev.mp4' <- correct, and 8fps as encoded
sg_uploaded_movie_webm = None in BOTH cases, even at status=1
Teaches
- A sequence cannot be media. Put the
%04dpattern insg_path_to_framesand upload one transcoded movie for the review player. - Replacing
sg_uploaded_moviedoes not invalidate its derived fields:sg_uploaded_movie_mp4keeps serving a transcode of the file you replaced. A player trusting it shows the wrong content. sg_uploaded_movie_transcoding_status= 1 means a transcode finished, not that the current media is transcoded.sg_uploaded_movie_frame_ratedisagrees: 25.0 for the still, 8.0 for the real movie.sg_uploaded_movie_webmwas never populated on the probed site, at status 1 or before; do not wait on it. Poll_mp4instead, since transcoding is async (probe 013).- Attachments accumulate and media does not: five uploads to one Version left five Attachments linked while
sg_uploaded_movieheld one file. Frames parked as Attachments are storage, never review.PublishedFileis the right home for the sequence, still unproven (probe 021).
