ApsaraVideo VOD:Upload media files by using a PC client tool

Last Updated:Aug 23, 2024

If you want to upload multiple large files in a batch, we recommend that you use a PC client tool.

Prerequisites

  • A RAM user is created.

    For more information about how to create a RAM user, see Create a RAM user.

  • The RAM user is granted permissions to access ApsaraVideo VOD.

    For more information about how to grant permissions to a RAM user, see Grant permissions to a RAM user.

  • An AccessKey pair is obtained and identity verification is complete by using the AccessKey pair. For more information about how to obtain the AccessKey pair, see Obtain an AccessKey pair.

  • The VOD bucket in the desired region is enabled. If the VOD bucket is not enabled before you use the PC client tool to upload media files, the upload fails. For more information, see Enable VOD buckets.

Note

We recommend that you use the AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret of the RAM user to log on to the PC client. This helps you isolate permissions and reduce the risk of configuration errors in the console.

Limits

  • You can upload a media file of up to 48.8 TB in size.

  • Upload records on Windows clients are stored in the %appdata%/AliVodClient folder. You can view a maximum of 500 latest upload records on the client. If you update the client version or clear the folder, the upload records may fail to be displayed.

Procedure

  1. Download and install the PC client for your operating system.

    Operating system

    Windows

    Application version

    Windows-V2.0.1

    Important

    On Windows clients, if a message appears indicating that MSVCP 140.dll or VCRUNTIME 140.dll cannot be found, download and install the Microsoft 2017 Runtime Library.

  2. Use the AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret of the RAM user to log on to the PC client.

  3. On the PC client, click Add Upload File in the top navigation bar to add the audio and video files that you want to upload.

  4. Select the audio or video files that you want to upload.

  5. Click Upload.

Result

After the upload is complete, the files are displayed in the ApsaraVideo VOD console.
