Platform APIs Known Issues

If you use video or player fields (such a video , video_name , player or player_name ) in the fields to return but do not include them in the dimensions in the dimensions , the response items will include irrelevant values for those items and should be ignored. Other values in the items will be valid

Workaround: Do not include video or player fields in the response fields unless you also include them as dimensions .

If you are using this field to test whether a video can be retranscoded, it is not reliable for shared videos, as it will be true if the original video has a master, but still cannot be retranscoded by the affiliate account.

Workaround: If videos are shared to the account, you need to test for both has_digital_master = true and sharing.by_external_account = false . Sample code (JavaScript):

var video={some_video_object}
if (video.sharing !== null) {
  if (video.sharing.by_external_account === false) {
    if (video.has_digital_master) {
    // video can be retranscoded
    }
  }
}
