Video Post
Create Video Post
Creating a video post is similar to creating a file and image post.
First, you need to upload the videos using AmityFileRepostory , build the post using AmityVideoPostBuilder, and then finally create the post.
AmityFileRepository class contains a method that helps in uploading videos. To upload videos, you have to specify the feedType that the video should belong.
For example, you are about to create a video post. You need to set feedType to post.
When the video is successfully uploaded, you will receive an instance of AmityVideoData which contains information about the uploaded video.
Requirements for Video

3gp,avi,f4v,flv,m4v,mov,mp4,ogv,3g2,wmv,vob,webm,mkvThe maximum file size of the video is 1 GB
The maximum duration of the video is 2 hours

Second, create video post using AmityVideoPostBuilder.
Many videos can be added into one video post. Currently, SDK has the maximum of ten videos per post.

Play Video
The actual videos in the video post can be found by looking at the child posts.
SDK provides post.getVideoInfo() that return AmityVideoData.
To play a video, SDK provides AmityVideoData.getVideo(resolution:) that return a ready-to-play HTTP URL.
Available Video Resolutions
After a video post is created, the videos will be transcoded from the original resolution.
AmityVideoResolution is an enum that represents video resolution.
When you create a video post, the original resolution will be available immediately after the post is created. However, the transcoded resolution will take time, and will be available eventually.
SDK provides .availableResolution() to retrieve all available resolutions.
Video Data Attributes
SDK provides AmityVideoData.attributes that returns a dictionary containing video file properties that might be useful for your app.
