Indicates how the media asset is hosted.
If hosting_type is omitted, it defaults based on the supplied upload.method for backward compatibility.
Possible values:
-
hosted: JWX hosts the media. Provide a source file using an upload.method of direct, multipart, or fetch, and JWX transcodes it into streaming renditions.
-
external: Register self-hosted content with your JWX account. JWX stores the metadata and references your externally hosted file via upload.source_url instead of hosting the asset itself.
-
renditions: Create a media that uses the CMAF VOD workflow for flexible transcoding and/or delivery. You can have JWX transcode a source file or bring your own pre-encoded custom renditions. Learn more about CMAF VOD.
There are two ways to use this hosting type:
JWX handles transcoding: When creating the media define your upload method and provide the source file for transcoding and rendition creation.
Bring your own pre-encoded renditions: Create the media then add each custom audio, text, and/or video renditions to the media.
-
ott_data: Create a media that represents OTT (over-the-top) metadata rather than a streamable video file.
