Can we get direct URL links to videos?

Thomas Leylan

I'm just trying out Panopto and uploaded some test videos. They look great on the site but I need to obtain a direct URL to them not an ID-based URL. I'm attempting to show the videos in a Unity-based VR app I'm writing and I need the .mp4 to stream directly.

Is this possible easily and/or at all?

Thanks.

If you click on the "view podcast" button in the session settings under the outputs tab, it should open the flat MP4 stream. You can also grab these from the API: https://demo.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Api/Docs/index.html#/Sessions/Sessions_GetSessionById

That is excellent news. One point of clarification however... I only see an option to download a podcast. I just reassigned the Type and Quality and it seems to be readying something. I am guessing it is the streaming version (I hope) :-)

Well shucks. It seems to have finished whatever it was doing but I only see a download link.

Thanks.
