Frontend configurations

Whether you want to configure the timeline, markers, tracks, groups, subtitles or something else, Accurate Video got you covered. With Accurate Video you can configure just about everything. Settings are defined in a javascript file which is deployed with the application.

By configuring the settings file you can customize the frontend and edit particular areas to suit your workflow. This guide will go through all configurations available and also include examples to help you get started.


Accurate Video Frontend

This document describes available configuration settings for Accurate Video.

Files available for configuration:

settings.js

Settings are defined in a javascript file which is deployed with the application.

Remote settings

It is possible to store a subset of the settings in the backend or in a remote file.

  • The local settings file (deployed with the application) is always read first and must include backendUrl and authentication to ensure that user can be authenticated prior to fetching any remote settings.
  • Next, if settingsUrl is defined, the application will fetch and merge it with the local settings.
  • Finally, if backedSettings is enabled, the application will fetch settings from the backend and merge it.

The only constraint is that remote settings may not define backendUrl, settingsUrl nor authentication.method.

Using this setup

  • sensitive settings can be protected from unauthorized users
  • settings can be updated without redeploying application

backendUrl as query parameter

The required setting backendUrl can optionally be provided through query parameter i.e https://demo.accurate.video/?backendUrl="https://your-backend.com"&signature=AABBCCDDEEFFGG.

You'll also need to sign the backendUrl value so the application can verify that the backendUrl was set by a trusted party.

  • The signature need to be included in the signature query parameter.
  • The signature MUST be done with ECDSA in P1363 Format.
  • The public key used to verify the signature can be configured in the local settings file (deployed with the application) under crypto.publicKey.
  • The public key format MUST be ECDSA, P-256 (prime256v1 in openssl) in PEM format (optional header and footer).

Settings described

  • backendSettings - Fetch settings from backend endpoint, default true.
  • backendUrl - Base URL that will be called when accessing Accurate Video Adapter. Here are some examples:

These examples assume that the frontend application is hosted at https://example.com/:

Description backendUrl Resolved url
Absolute https://backend.example.com/ https://backend.example.com/
Path (on the current origin) /api https://example.com/api
Port and path (changes origin port) :8080/api https://example.com:8080/api
  • settingsUrl - URL to remote settings file. If omitted, only local settings are loaded. See Remote settings
  • settingsCredentials - The request credentials you want to use for the remote settings request: omit, same-origin, or include. To automatically send cookies for the current domain, this option must be provided.
  • authentication - see Authentication
  • eventBus.enabled - Used to enable/disable the eventbus connectivity
  • eventBus.url - URL to backend event bus. If omitted, it is set to backendUrl + "/eventbus"
  • endFrameInclusive - If true, backend timespans are considered end frame inclusive.
  • licenseKey - License key for Accurate Player.
  • preferredVideoTags - Array of tags to load when opening a video proxy. First tag has the highest priority.
  • showAssetView - Enable/disable asset list view.

  • features - see Common features
  • assetStatus - see Asset status
  • assetJobsSettings - see Asset jobs
  • enrich - see Enrich
  • forms - see Forms
  • videoTagBlackList - List of tags, e.g. ['mp4', 'original']. The urls of any video files that have a matching tag will be removed.
  • audioTagBlackList - List of tags, e.g. ['mp3', 'wav'] The urls of any audio files that have a matching tag will be removed.
  • metadataFields - see Metadata fields
  • metadataViews - see Metadata views
  • playbackRates - List of playback rates to use in the players. Affects all applications. Defaults to [ -16, -8, -4, -2, -1.5, -1, -0.5, +0.25, +0.5, +0.75, +1, +1.25, +1.5, +1.75, +2, +2.5, +3, +4, +8, +16, +32, +64, ]
  • metadataKeys.fileLanguage - Default: language. The metadata key used for getting the language from files.
  • metadataKeys.timespanLanguage - Default: language. The metadata key used for getting the language from timespan metadata.

Minimal changes

All settings have default values, most of them require no changes. The settings you alter will be merged which means that complex objects (not arrays) are changed easily. For example, changing timeline.waveforms.vidispine.tag

timeline: {
    waveforms: {
      active: "vidispine",
      vidispine: {
        tag: "original",
        shape: null,
        sampleMin: -43,
        sampleMax: 0
      },
      ...
    }
}

only requires

timeline: {
  waveforms: {
    vidispine: {
      tag: "house-original";
    }
  }
}

Render Settings

Render presets allow the user to configure transcoders and formats to use when exporting clips.

render: {
    enabledFormats: ["single-file", "individual-files"],
  presets: [
    {
      label: "Web (h.264, ffmpeg)",
      metadata: [
        {
          key: "preset_id",
          value: "standard_h264_follow"
        },
        {
          key: "transcoder",
          value: "ffmpeg",
        },
        {
          key: "expand_timeline_from_video_track",
          value: "true",
        },
      ],
    }
  ]
}
  • enabledFormats - Default: ["single-file", "individual-files"]. Defines which export formats to show in export modal.
  • label - Label describing the preset.
  • metadata - List of metadata entries that are passed to the render job.

You can read more about the metadata fields by following the template chain starting with render/select template - preset_id - The preset id used for main output by the selected transcoder. - transcoder - The transcoder to use. - expand_timeline_from_video_track - Ensures that audio tracks are included in the result.

If you set this to frontend the user is prompted to download a temporary file generated on the frontend.
  • exportFormats - Export formats to enable in the marker exports menu. Defaults to ["CSV", "XML", "JSON"]
  • timelineDataSources - Specify the sources of which to create groups and tracks, possible values are track, settings and markers. Defaults to ["tracks", "settings", "markers"]

If there are no names on the selected track, the form fall backs to a regular text field. Could for example be used with Multi-value track metadata
  • row.markerMetadata - Custom metadata added to markers created on this row.
  • row.startTime - Set to indicate start time of marker time codes within the row. Markers created on this track will also be saved with the given start time offset.

metadata format

The return type of metadata setting has to be an object:

metadata: (marker, track) => {
  return {
    number: 1,
    boolean: true,
    string: "string",
  };
};

The values in the object have to be one of the types string, boolean, or number. Values not conforming to this will not be used. If tracksMetadataSetting is defined the keys in metadata object have to be specified in tracksMetadataSetting.

This setting will override metadata names used in frontend (e.g. name).

tag property

The tag property is used to display extra information on a timeline row. The tag can either be defined as a string or an object containing tag: string and type: TrackTagType.

The track tag type can be either badge or description

tag: (marker, track) => {
  return {
    tag: "This is the tag",
    type: TrackTagType.Description,
  }
}
tag: (marker, track) => {
  return "This is the tag"
}

When only specifying a string the type will default to badge.

match property

The match property is used to match a marker or a track to a settings-block. The unique id (for groups) or track (for rows) is what separates the markers into different groups and rows.

It takes a callback (marker?: AvMarker, track?: AvTrack) => boolean. Note that both marker and track may be undefined. This allows the user to separate markers and tracks in numerous ways:

// Separate on marker type
match: marker => marker && marker.type === "Baton",

// Separate on metadata fields
match: marker => marker && marker.metadata.get("trackId") !== null,

// Match all
match: () => true
markerMetadataSettings and tracksMetadataSetting

For markerMetadataSettings and tracksMetadataSetting the match property instead takes a callback (type: string) => boolean where type is the marker (or track) type.

(type) => type === "Baton";

MarkerSettingsDynamicValue\ type

Most of the properties use this type which is either T or a callback (marker?: AvMarker, track?: AvTrack | null) => T.

// Get tooltip from marker metadata field "name".
tooltip: marker => marker && marker.metadata.get("name"),

// Display this text if tooltip is not set
tooltipFallback: "No name",

// Get title from marker.type
title: marker => marker && marker.type,

// Set specific title
title: "Info",

// Set row title based on track (with fallbacks)
title: (marker, track) =>
  (track && track.metadata.get("name")) ||
  (marker && marker.metadata.get("trackId")) ||
  "No track found",
Multi-value track metadata

The track object contains an extra field named metadataArrayValues which contains the same data as metadata, but with string[] values instead of strings.

metadata: Map<string, string>;
metadataArrayValues?: Map<string, string[]>;

In addition to the metadata available in the metadata field, if there are multiple values for the same key the metadataArrayValues field will hold all values to the string[].

For example, with this data available in the backend:

{
  "metadata": [
    {
      "key": "av_track_names",
      "value": "This is multivalue 1"
    },
    {
      "key": "av_track_names",
      "value": "This is multivalue 2"
    },
    {
      "key": "name",
      "value": "Multi value track"
    }
  ]
}

The results of the track object would be

{
  "metadata": {
    "av_track_names": "This is multivalue 2",
    "name": "Multi value track"
  },
  "metadataArrayValues": {
    "av_track_names": ["This is multivalue 1", "This is multivalue 2"],
    "name": ["Multi value track"]
  }
}

discreteFiles property

Settings for discrete files.

discreteFiles: {
    VIDCHECKER: {
        tag: 'qc'
    }
}
  • VIDCHECKER Settings for handling of Vidchecker files
  • tag This setting controls which files are to be handled as Vidchecker files (and be parsed). If a file has a metadata field tag set, that matches the value of this setting, it will be considered a Vidchecker file. Note that when using the vidispine adapter, the tag metadata field is set from the shape-tag.

Examples

Below are some examples of different marker setups.

Read-only markers
groups: [
  {
    match: (marker) => marker && marker.type === "Baton",
    title: "Baton",
    id: "Baton",
    readOnly: true,
    rows: [
      {
        match: () => true, // Default
        track: ({ metadata }) => metadata.get("trackId"),
        title: ({ metadata }) => metadata.get("trackId"),
        tooltip: ({ metadata }) => metadata.get("name"),
        order: ({ metadata }) => {
          switch (metadata.get("trackId")) {
            case "Info":
              return 0;
            case "Warning":
              return 1;
            case "Serious":
              return 2;
          }
          return -Infinity;
        },
        markerStyle: ({ metadata }) => {
          switch (metadata.get("trackId")) {
            case "Warning":
              return { backgroundColor: "#dd5858" };
            case "Serious":
              return { backgroundColor: "#c73535" };
          }
          return undefined;
        },
      },
    ],
  },
];

We match the group on marker type. trackId is used to separate the different rows applying order and style.

Manual markers, static track
groups: [
  {
    match: (marker, track) =>
      (marker && marker.type === "Manual") ||
      (track && track.type === "Manual"),
    title: "Manual",
    id: "Manual",
    alwaysShow: true,
    allowCreateTrack: true,
    rows: [
      {
        match: (marker) =>
          marker && marker.metadata.get("trackId") === "av:track:warning",
        track: "av:track:warning",
        title: "Warning",
        tooltip: ({ metadata }) => metadata.get("name"),
        tooltipFallback: ({ metadata }) => metadata.get("fallback_tooltip"),
        order: 1,
        markerType: "Manual",
        markerStyle: { backgroundColor: "#c73535" },
      },
      {
        match: (marker) =>
          marker && marker.metadata.get("trackId") === "av:track:serious",
        track: "av:track:serious",
        title: "Serious",
        tooltip: ({ metadata }) => metadata.get("name"),
        order: 2,
        markerType: "Manual",
        markerStyle: { backgroundColor: "#c73535" },
      },
      {
        match: (marker) =>
          marker && marker.metadata.get("trackId") === "av:track:info",
        track: "av:track:info",
        title: "Info",
        tooltip: ({ metadata }) => metadata.get("name"),
        order: 0,
        markerType: "Manual",
      },
      {
        // Markers from user tracks generated in UI.
        match: (marker, track) =>
          !!(marker && marker.metadata.get("trackId")) || !!track,
        track: (marker, track) => track.id,
        title: (marker, track) => track && track.metadata.get("name"),
        tooltip: (marker) => marker && marker.metadata.get("name"),
        order: (marker, track) => parseInt(track && track.id, 10) ?? 4,
        markerType: "Manual",
        alwaysShow: false,
        names: (marker, track) =>
          track?.metadataArrayValues?.get("names") || ["Name 1", "Name 2"],
      },
      {
        match: () => true, // Default
        id: (marker) => marker.type,
        title: (marker) => marker.type,
        alwaysHide: true,
        rows: [],
      },
    ],
  },
];

We define the marker type "Manual". This is used in the match property on the group (to find the correct group setting for the marker) and when mapping marker metadata using markerMetadataSettings. markerType is also set to "Manual" on each row to ensure that new markers are created with the correct type. We define different rows using track property and match them using the trackId metadata field.

On group level allowCreateTrack is used to allow users to manually create tracks in th UI for this group.

On row level we set alwaysShow to ensure that the rows are shown even when there are no markers.

Hide by default
groups: [
  {
    match: () => true, // Default
    id: (marker) => marker.type,
    title: (marker) => marker.type,
    alwaysHide: true,
    rows: [],
  },
];

The last group, the default case, matches everything and sets alwaysHide to ensure that those markers are hidden.

Row title from track
row.title: (marker, track) =>
  (track && track.metadata.get("name")) ||
  marker.metadata.get("trackId") ||
  "No track found",

Track is also passed as an argument to MarkerSettingsDynamicValue function which allows us to connect track to a row.

Mapping marker and track metadata
markersMetadataSettings: [
  {
    match: (type) => type === "AvMarker",
    mappings: {
      name: "av_marker_name",
      description: "av_marker_description",
      trackId: "av_marker_track_id",
    },
  },
];

We map the metadata names used in backend (e.g. av_marker_name) to the names we use in frontend (e.g. name). This mapping is done before markers are parsed, which means the frontend name can be used in MarkerSettingsDynamicValue functions. It is also done the other way around when we post markers to backend.

tracksMetadataSettings: [
  {
    match: (type) => type === "VpubTrack",
    mappings: {
      name: "av_track_name",
      description: "av_track_description",
      names: "av_track_names",
    },
  },
];

Mapping is done in the same way for tracks.

Start time
groups: [
  {
    ...
    // Start time of markers in this group
    startTime: {
      frame: 3600, // 01:00:00:00
      numerator: 1,
      denominator: 1
    },
    rows: [
      {
        ...
        // Start time can also be set per row
        // this will override any start time set on the group
        startTime: {
          frame: 45000, // 00:30:00:00
          numerator: 25,
          denominator: 1
        },
        ...
      }
    ],
    ...
  }
];

Start time is set to accommodate for time code offsets in the marker data. For example if markers have been imported from an external source where all time codes starts at 01:00:00:00. In this case, setting startTime to 01:00:00:00 means the application will compensate for that and display the markers starting from 00:00:00:00 instead.

Forms

The forms setting is used to define custom forms used when creating a marker. The form with key defaultMarker will be used for any row without form specified.

forms: {
  defaultMarker: {
    schema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        name: {
          type: "string",
          enum: ["Audio issue", "Visual issue"],
        },
        description: {
          type: "string",
        },
      },
      required: ["name"],
    },
    uischema: {
      type: "VerticalLayout",
      elements: [
        {
          type: "Control",
          label: "Name",
          scope: "#/properties/name",
          options: {
            format: "autocomplete",
          },
        },
        {
          type: "Control",
          label: "Description (optional)",
          scope: "#/properties/description",
        },
      ],
    },
    defaultValues: {
      name: "",
      description: "",
    },
  },
}
  • schema - Schema for the form, see json-schema.
  • uischema - UI Schema for the form, see ui-schema.
  • defaultValues - Any default values the form should be initialised with.

When row.names (see Markers) is defined, enum field in schema.properties will be automatically filled with the names defined for any field with key name, for example:

forms: {
  defaultMarker: {
    schema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        name: {
          type: "string",
          description: "This field will get the enum property from row.names",
        }
      }
    },
    uischema: {
      type: "VerticalLayout",
      elements: [
        {
          type: "Control",
          scope: "#/properties/name",
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: If you are using Vidispine, don't forget to update your metadata schema that you use for your items so they include the form field keys in your form.

Metadata fields

These settings are used to configure which metadata fields that exist on an asset. Metadata fields can be used to configure a metadata view that is shown in the tab Metadata in Validate.

metadataFields: [

    id: "assetMetadataTitle",
    key: "title",
    label: "Title",
    source: "assetMetadata",
  },

    key: "duration",
    label: "Duration",
    source: "videoStreamProperties",
    displayType: "smpte",
    storedType: "timebase",
  },
  {
    id: "audioStreamSampleRate",
    key: "sampleRate",
    label: "Sample Rate",
    source: "audioStreamProperties",
  },
  {
    id: "audioStreamChannels",
    key: "channels",
    label: "Channels",
    source: "audioStreamProperties",
    expectedMetadata: [
      {
        id: "expectedAudioStreamChannels",
        key: "expected-channels",
        comparison: {
          type: "boolean",
          key: "expected-channels-result"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
];
  • id - Unique id for this metadata field. Required to reference this field from a metadata-view.
  • key - Metadata key holding the value.
  • label - Label that will be shown for this metadata-field when used in metadata-view.
  • description - (Optional) Text describing the metadata field.
  • source - Source limiting where to look for metadata key. Alternatives are assetMetadata, assetProperties, containerMetadata, videoStreamProperties and audioStreamProperties.
  • displayType - (Optional) Decides in which format the metadata value should be presented in the UI. Alternatives are smpte or date. If not specified the metadata value will be displayed as it is with no conversion of any kind.
  • storedType - (Optional) Which data type the value is stored in. Alternatives are timebase and utcDate.
  • expectedMetadata - (Optional) see ExpectedMetadata
  • expectedMetadata.comparison - (Optional) see ExpectedMetadataComparison

Expected metadata

Expected metadata is an additional field describing the actual value that is expected for this metadata field. It also includes a comparison property that contains information about the comparison between the metadata field and the expected metadata.

expectedMetadata: [
  {
    id: "expectedAudioStreamChannels",
    key: "expected-channels",
    source: "assetMetadata",
    comparison: {
      type: "boolean",

    }
  }
];
  • id - Unique id for this metadata field. Required to be able to reference this field from a metadata-view.
  • key - Metadata key holding the value.
  • source -(Optional, default source of the metadata field). Source limiting where to look for metadata key. Alternatives are assetMetadata and containerMetadata.
  • comparison - see ExpectedMetadataComparison

Expected metadata comparison

Comparison property contains information about the comparison between the metadata field and expectedMetadata property. The result from the comparison can be found using the key value.

comparison: {
  type: "boolean",
  source: "assetMetadata",
  key: "expected-channels-result"
};
  • type - type of comparison method. Alternative is boolean
  • key - Metadata key holding the value.
  • source - (Optional, default expectedMetadata.source or the source of the metadata field). Source limiting where to look for metadata key. Alternatives are assetMetadata and containerMetadata.

Metadata views

This setting is used to configure the metadata views that can be shown in the metadata tab.

metadataViews: [
  {
    id: "defaultMetadataView",
    name: "Default",
    description: "The default metadata view",
    fields: [
      {
        metadataFieldId: "assetMetadataTitle",
      },
      {
        metadataFieldId: "audioStreamSampleRate",
      },
      {
        metadataFieldId: "videoStreamDuration",
      },
      {
        metadataFieldId: "audioStreamChannels",
        expectedMetadataFieldId: "expectedAudioStreamChannels",
      },
    ],
  }
];
  • id - Unique id for this metadata view.
  • name - Name of the metadata view.
  • description - (Optional) Text describing the metadata view.
  • fields - List of MetadataViewFields. see MetadataViewField

Metadata view field

 drm: {
   servers: {
     "com.widevine.alpha": "https://wv-keyos.licensekeyserver.com/"
   },
   streamingInterceptor: (data) => {
     return (type, request) => {
       if (type === 2) {
         request.headers.customdata = data;
       }
     }
   },
   fileSecretKey: "custom_data_xml"
 }
  • drm.servers - list of licensing servers and drm system (for additional information see shaka-players documentation).
  • drm.streamingInterceptor - Optional callback. Should return interceptor for shaka-players network engine which allows additional authentication capabilities (consult Accurate Player for definitions of the interceptor)
  • drm.fileSecretKey: Optional key for metadata field on VideoFileDto, corresponding value will be used as the optional "data" parameter to the streamingInterceptor callback.
