Azure Video Indexer Insights Changed

Chris Pressley 0

Hi, We migrated to Video Indexer a few months ago from Media Services, and things worked fine. We've recently re-tested the same video and it appears that where we used to get a large list of fragments with events in each fragment, with an set interval between each fragment. We now just get one large fragment with a long list of events in it. Has this changed recently?

I was expecting the way the algo worked to stay consistent and return the same JSON as it has done previously:

@Chris Pressley I do not much experience using the video indexer APIs but I have previously uploaded videos to get insights from the video indexer portal. Looking at the output structure above, I do not notice similar format in my insights JSON file. I also do not see the same defined in the reference from documentation. Are you also using the video indexer portal to upload videos and index them to download insights or are you using a different API?

Hi,

If i use the Portal and click download, Artifacts -> faces.json - this is the data you get. I am actually using the following API call to get the information in code though:

var queryParams = CreateQueryString(
    new Dictionary<string, string>()
    {
        {"accessToken", videoAccessToken},
        {"type", "faces"},
    });
try
{
    var artifactRequestResult = await client.GetAsync($"{apiUrl}/{accountLocation}/Accounts/{accountId}/Videos/{videoId}/ArtifactUrl?{queryParams}");

    VerifyStatus(artifactRequestResult, System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK);
    var artifactLink = artifactRequestResult.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result.Replace("\"", "");
    var json = await client.GetStringAsync(artifactLink);
    return json;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    logger.LogError(ex.ToString());
}
