RefreshMediaPlayUrls - ApsaraVideo VOD

Submits media refresh or prefetch tasks based on the media IDs.

Operation description

ApsaraVideo VOD allows you to purge and prefetch resources. The purge feature forces the point of presence (POP) to clear cached resources and retrieve the latest resources from origin servers. The prefetch feature allows the POP to retrieve frequently accessed resources from origin servers during off-peak hours. This increases the cache hit ratio.
You can call this operation to submit purge or prefetch tasks based on the media ID. You can also specify the format and resolution of the media streams to purge or prefetch based on your business requirements.
You can submit a maximum of 20 purge or prefetch tasks at a time.

Debugging
