Playlists, creator metadata, and richer media responses

NewImprovementVideo on DemandAPI

FastPix now exposes a full playlist API alongside richer creator and quality metadata on each media. You can create, update, list, and delete ordered playlists of VOD content, and attach creator-level metadata (title, creator_id) at create-media time so it flows through search, list, and webhook responses.

This makes it easier to model the editorial structure of a video library — channels, series, seasons, creator pages — without standing up your own catalog database on top of FastPix.

What’s new:

  • Playlist endpoints — POST create, PATCH update, GET list, DELETE, and add-media-to-playlist / remove-media-from-playlist. Successful PATCH returns 200 (rather than the previous 201) and successful playlist update returns 200 without a body change.
  • creator_id and title on media — both fields can be set at create-media time and on update-media, and are echoed back on all media responses.
  • Frame rate in media response — get-media now includes track_frame_rate for each video track so client UIs can display the correct frame-rate badge.
  • mediaQuality in media response — the media response now includes the resolved media quality (Standard, Plus, Premium) used for transcoding.
  • Source resolution in playlist media list — the media list nested inside a playlist response now includes each item’s source_resolution so list UIs can show quality without an extra get-media call.
  • Add-media-to-playlist fix — a 500 error that occurred when adding certain medias to a playlist has been resolved.
  • List-uploads fix — the list-uploads endpoint now returns correctly ordered results for workspaces with thousands of uploads.

Existing media will continue to work; if you want the new metadata fields populated retroactively you can call update-media with the relevant values.
