it looks like the gem/api give me access to uploaded assets, but what
means is there to do the uploading of user generated content? is there
anything available to evaluate as a developer?
thanks

Yes the API allows a developer to manage existing video assets.

UGC assets can be encoded and uploaded into the system using our
product called Sorenson Squish. "Sorenson Squish encodes video in your
browser, with much higher quality, more control and faster uploads
than FFmpeg." (http://www.sorensonmedia.com/video-content)
Currently, our public API's only support the management of existing
video assets. We will be releasing full API access to Squish in the
near future. Until then, video assets need to be uploaded into the
platform through the video "Upload" features of 360. The public
Squish
API will use the same technology and work essentially the same.
Developers can also use and evaluate Sorenson's Squeeze desktop
encoding. This solution integrates directly with 360. Its a free
trial.
I will def update the list once we have a public release of the
Sorenson Squish APIs.

Do we have access to Squish for evaluation purposes. Going to the
product page doesn't tell us much except contacting sales.Client-side
encoding sounds good to me if we can have control on settings. I
don't want the customer choosing or even having to think about it.
Server-side FFmpeg encoding can be a pain when the customer doesn't
have high DSL connection. When do you expect to make the API
available. Also, do you plan any python binding for your API?

We are still dialing in some of the details around documentation and
API interface to it.
We do have a number of live and development projects using it though.
It is really amazing technology and has come really far over the past
6 months from both a feature and developer usability stand point.
If you wouldn't mind contacting sales, they can def set you up with a
build so you can play with it. Once you have it in your hands you can
post back to this forum to get developer assistance from me or one
of the other developers working on the project.

I'm hoping to have a public release of Squish developer API in the
near future. This will include additional API's, documentation on
usage and a couple tutorials on implementation.
