DmCloud

I created this gem to simplify request and responses from DailyMotion Cloud API.
With this gem, you can :

• get generated embed code as a string
• get direct access url to your files (I used this to provide video flux to TV-connected application)
• (Lists works, others on the way) create, delete, paginated lists of videos; with video informations (a/v encodings, bitrate, video lenght...)
• (I'm working on ) CRUD on videos' meta-data

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dm_cloud', "0.0.60" #stable version

or
gem 'dm_cloud' # edge version

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dm_cloud

First, your will need to specify your :user_id, :api_key and your security level.
I used a file in APP_ROOT/config/initializers/conf.rb.
You can note the securitylevel, for more information about it, take a look at lib/dm_cloud/signing.rb.

# DAILYMOTION CLOUD SETTINGS
require 'dm_cloud'
DMC_USER_ID = 'your user id'
DMC_SECRET = 'your api key'
DMC_SECURITY_LEVEL = :none

DmCloud.configure( { 
  :user_key    =>     DMC_USER_ID,
  :secret_key =>      DMC_SECRET,
  :security_level =>  DMC_SECURITY_LEVEL
})

Description of security levels :

• None:
  The signed URL will be valid for everyone
• ASNUM:
  The signed URL will only be valid for the AS of the end-user.
  The ASNUM (for Autonomous System Number) stands for the network identification,
  each ISP have a different ASNUM for instance.
• IP:
  The signed URL will only be valid for the IP of the end-user.
  This security level may wrongly block some users
  which have their internet access load-balanced between several proxies.
  This is the case in some office network or some ISPs.
• User-Agent: Used in addition to one of the two former levels,
  this level a limit on the exact user-agent of the end-user.
  This is more secure but in some specific condition may lead to wrongly blocked users.
• Use Once:
  The signed URL will only be usable once.
  Note: should not be used with stream URLs.
• Country:
  The URL can only be queried from specified countrie(s).
  The rule can be reversed to allow all countries except some.
• Referer:
  The URL can only be queried
  if the Referer HTTP header contains a specified value.
  If the URL contains a Referer header with a different value,
  the request is refused. If the Referer header is missing,
  the request is accepted in order to prevent from false positives as some browsers,
  anti-virus or enterprise proxies may remove this header.
• Delegate:
  This option instructs the signing algorithm
  that security level information won’t be embeded into the signature
  but gathered and lock at the first use.

Second part, get you embed url :
It will return a string containing the iframe with the DailyMotion Cloud player.

DmCloud::Streaming.embed('your video id looks like a secret key')

Or how to get your direct url :
It will return a string containing the direct link to your file.

DmCloud::Streaming.url('your video id', ['asset_name'], {options})

The next parts will come soon, just need some time to finish it
and create corresponding tests.

If you need to list your video you can use this method :

DmCloud::Media.list({:page => 1, :per_page => 10})

It will return videos information and more :

result to yaml :

'{"result": {  
  "list": [{  
    "embed_url": "http://api.DmCloud.net/player/embed/:your_id/:media_id",

  "pages": 1,
  "on_this_page": 3,

  "total": 3, 
  "page": 1}}'

As you can see, this give many information, you can submit a hash like this :

DmCloud::Media.list({:page => 1, :per_page => 10, :fields => {:meta => :title }, :assets => [:download_url, :created ]})
