edx-val (Video Abstraction Layer)
=================================

edx-val is a django app that creates and retrieves metadata for videos and subtitles. When creating video entries, they can be assigned to preset profiles such as 'high_quality' or 'mobile_only'. When requesting a video, the client does not need to know which profile to retrieve, but only the `edx_video_id` of that video. Since all the different profiles for that particular video is returned, the client can decide which profiles they want to use.

Example:
Retrieve all profiles for a video with `edx_video_id`="example"

.. code-block:: python

>>> get_video_info("example")
{
'url' : '/edxval/videos/example',
'edx_video_id': u'example',
'duration': 111.0,
'client_video_id': u'The example video',
'encoded_videos': [
{
'url': u'http://www.example.com/example_mobile_video.mp4',
'file_size': 25556,
'bitrate': 9600,
'profile': u'mobile'
},
{
'url': u'http://www.example.com/example_desktop_video.mp4',
'file_size': 43096734,
'bitrate': 64000,
'profile': u'desktop'
}
]
}
