This optional parameter restricts the size (to a maximum width) of the encoded video to upload during encoding. The following line reduces the encoded video to 1280 px. Recordings with a width smaller than 1280 px are not altered.

"basicupload.post.maxwidth":"1280"

basicupload.request.url

This required property specifies a URL to use when uploading the video.

Warning:

Note: If you are also using basicupload.success.url (success callback property), use a URL parameter like id=myid to link this call to basicupload.success.url.

This property expects a response containing a string with the URL that the recording uses to POST the mp4 video file. The example version offers a way to collect input—specifically a title and a description—before uploading. If you use these options, the values are POSTed to the basicupload.request.url. If you do not use the title and description options, this parameter provides a GET request to the URL.

"basicupload.request.url":"https://.../basicuploadS3Upload.php?id=myid"

basicupload.preview.title

This optional parameter specifies the title to show during the preview.

"basicupload.preview.title"="Preview"

basicupload.site.name

This optional parameter provides the message that displays when an upload succeeds.

"basicupload.success.message"="Upload Successful!"

basicupload.success.showlink

When set to true and a basicupload.success.url is set, this optional parameter provides a link that the user can copy. The link displays under the basicupload.success.message. The link is the result text returned by the basicupload.success.url callback, which you can set up in JavaScript.

"basicupload.success.showlink"="false"

basicupload.success.url

This optional parameter provides a URL that is called back if the upload is successful.

"basicupload.success.url":"https://.../basicuploadSuccess.php?id=myid"

The following examples show how to override some display properties. You can also set these by using your own BasicUploadSkin jar with custom settings in the appDisplay.properties.

"basicupload.panel.message":"Show optional input fields to POST back when requesting upload url",
"basicupload.panel.input.title.show":"true",
"basicupload.panel.input.description.show":"true"
