Video content conversion

Situation Description

The SmartPlayer platform has introduced the ability to upload video content in various formats with mandatory conversion to ".mp4" format and setting specific content parameters.

Operating Principle

Logic of Operation

Users can upload any video content to their SmartPlayer personal account. The uploaded video content in a special settings window will be converted to the ".mp4" format.
This conversion is used to avoid accidental issues with content in other formats during playback. The ".mp4" format is the most developed and has been used for video content for a long time.

The option to convert to mp4 will only appear if the original video content format of the user is supported by the SmartPlayer platform.

Example of the checkbox display that automatically changes the video format within the "Video Editor" category.

Action Algorithm

Personal Account Settings

In the personal account, the user needs to go to the "Settings" section.

Example of the "Settings" section display in the personal account.

From the list of sections provided, select the category "Upload Video Parameters" (the penultimate item from the bottom).

This section contains parameters that the user needs to manually specify. The list of parameters to specify includes:

• Frame rate - specifies the number of frames per second.
• Bitrate - specifies the bitrate value in kilobits.
• Toggle enable/disable video duration - enables/disables the limitation on the duration of video content playback.
• Video duration - specifies the length of the video in seconds.
• Toggle "Remove audio in video" - removes audio tracks from videos during conversion, for future playback without sound.
