Hey Greg and Josh,
Josh I was already aware of digest authentication, I was just using the
form based authentication for the sake of simplicity for my testing out the
different ingest requests.
Greg I did not end up using what you suggested, turns out the
./ingest/addMediaPackage does everything I need in one request. I was trying
to use it differently than I thought it would work, I thought I needed to
addMediaPackage and upload the media separately but it turns out I could
just do it like below.
curl -c cookies.txt $server"ingest/addMediaPackage" \
-H "X-Requested-Auth: Digest" \
--digest --user $username:$password \
curl -v -o /dev/null -b ../cookies.txt $server"ingest/addMediaPackage" \
--form-string "title=$i" \
--form-string "creator=TestScript" \
--form-string "flavor=presenter/source" \
--form track=@$i;
A new problem has started happening, about 50% of the time the workflow does
not recognize the video feed, it processes it and in the engage Media
Gallery there are screenshots of it, but in the player the video does not
play, just the audio.
