I have a rails application that loads video into an AWS S3 bucket using their CORS configuration when it is completed and a video object with rails is created, an Elastic Transcoder task is created to encode the video in .mp4 format and create a thumbnail image, AWS SNS allows you to send push notifications when the task is completed.
The process works well, and I get an SNS notification when the download is complete, however I can only get the video URL perfectly, but the notification only contains the thumbnail template and not the actual file name.
The following is a typical notification that I receive from AWS SNS. NB. This is from the hash outputs
{"id"=>"1", "presetId"=>"1351620000001-000040", "key"=>"uploads/video/150/557874e9-4c67-40f0-8f98-8c59506647e5/IMG_0587.mp4", "thumbnailPattern"=>"uploads/video/150/557874e9-4c67-40f0-8f98-8c59506647e5/{count}IMG_0587", "rotate"=>"auto", "status"=>"Complete", "statusDetail"=>"The transcoding job is completed.", "duration"=>10, "width"=>202, "height"=>360}
As you can see under thumbnailPattern, this is just the file to be used, not the actual file.
Does anyone know how I can get URLS for files created through elastic transcoder and SNS?
transcoder.rb # => I create a new transcoder object when the video was saved
class Transcoder < Video
def initialize(video)
@video = video
@directory = "uploads/video/#{@video.id}/#{SecureRandom.uuid}/"
@filename = File.basename(@video.file, File.extname(@video.file))
end
def create
transcoder = AWS::ElasticTranscoder::Client.new(region: "us-east-1")
options = {
pipeline_id: CONFIG[:aws_pipeline_id],

job = transcoder.create_job(options)
@video.job_id = job.data[:job][:id]
@video.save!
