How to config OpenTok change status of Archive from "UPLOADED" to "AVAILABLE"?

Steps for Reproduct:
1. I config OpenTok storage video on Amazon S3.
2. I call api startArchive to start streaming video.
3. I call api StopArchive to stop streaming video.
4. I check status of this archive on OpenTok. It's has status "UPLOADED".
5. I login to Amazon S3. The video file that I streaming above is exist on Amazon S3.
6. The status of archive on OpenTok is still "UPLOADED". It's not change to "AVAILABLE". The url value of archive is null.

I don't know the reason that status of archive not change to "AVAILABLE".

Solution

  • Tokbox developer here

    Please note that "AVAILABLE" is only used when you don't provide a custom s3 bucket to upload the archive, and the file is uploaded to tokbox cloud [1]

    So:

    • if you you specify your bucket, the status will be: STARTED->STOPPED->UPLOADED
    • if you don't specify your bucket, the status will be: STARTED->STOPPED->AVAILABLE
