AddTranscodeTemplateGroup - ApsaraVideo VOD - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Creates a transcoding template group or adds transcoding templates to a transcoding template group.

Operation description

You cannot perform custom operations on transcoding template groups that are locked in the ApsaraVideo VOD console. You can call the GetTranscodeTemplateGroup operation to query the information about a transcoding template group and check whether the transcoding template group is locked based on the value of the Locked parameter. You can call the UpdateTranscodeTemplateGroup operation to unlock a transcoding template group if it is locked. Then, you can perform custom operations on the transcoding template group.
An Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket is required to store files that are used for transcoding. You cannot create a transcoding template group if no bucket is available. To activate a bucket, perform the following operations: Log on to the ApsaraVideo VOD console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Configuration Management > Media Management > Storage. On the Storage page, activate the bucket that is allocated by ApsaraVideo VOD.
You cannot add transcoding templates to the No Transcoding template group.
You can create a maximum of 20 transcoding template groups.
You can add a maximum of 20 transcoding templates to a transcoding template group.
If you want to generate a URL for adaptive bitrate streaming, you can add video packaging templates to a transcoding template group. You can add a maximum of 10 video packaging templates to a transcoding template group. If you add more than 10 video packaging templates, URLs of the video transcoded based on the video packaging templates are generated but the URL for adaptive bitrate streaming is not generated.

QPS limits
