Hi,

First thanks for all the good work and the well documented APIs.

But i still have some little questions :

- When i browse the medias with the CDS API, i get this value for thumbnailUrl : cds/resource/12/COVER_IMAGE,1
Then i try to retreive the cover image giving this complete url to curl : http://localhost:23424/cds/resource/12/ ... xxxxxxxxxx
But it doesn't work. is it right ?

- My other question is with the browse method.
In this url, /cds/browse/{profile_id}/{object_id}/{browse_method}/{filter}/{start_index}/{requested_count}?authToken={token}, what profile_id stands for ?
Where cab i find the different values for this parameter ?

Thanks !

I made a little step forward, and i found that the problem wasn't with the url but with my php/curl code.

Now, i retreive the image binary but i'm trying to display it.

Here is my php code :

Code:: $url = 'http://localhost:23424/cds/resource/12/COVER_IMAGE,1?authToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'; function cds_cover($url) { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: image/jpeg")); $res = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $res; }

How to show the cover image from the binary ?

to your original question, profile id is found in application-profiles.xml or profile.xml, try with 'flv_player'
You must also add token at the end of the URL.

Thanks for your answer !

About my original question, i found the solution if someone has the same problem :

Code:: function cds_cover($url) { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: image/jpeg")); $res = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $res; } $t = $item->thumbnailUrl; $t = "http://localhost:23424".$t."?authToken=".$token; $img = cds_cover($t); $img = base64_encode($img); <div class="cover_image"> <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'.$img.'"> </div>

I'm sorry, but all this topic is my mistake :oops:

;/

The previous solution works but is really heavy.

I must be tired because i was writing html with php, setting image sources to localhost links .... :cry:

Forget all i said, and just be careful to set the right url for your cover images :

<img src="http://yourdomain_or_ip:23424/cds/resource/12/COVER_IMAGE,flv_player?authToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />

Sorry !
