Update MP4 support
put
Deprecated

This method has been deprecated. Please see the Static Rendition API. Allows you to add or remove mp4 support for assets that were created without it. The values supported are capped-1080p, audio-only, audio-only,capped-1080p, standard(deprecated), and none. none means that an asset does not have mp4 support, so submitting a request with mp4_support set to none will delete the mp4 assets from the asset in question.

curl https://api.mux.com/video/v1/assets/${ASSET_ID}/mp4-support \

Request body params
mp4_support
string
Possible values: "none""capped-1080p""audio-only""audio-only,capped-1080p""standard" (Deprecated)

Specify what level of support for mp4 playback.

  • The capped-1080p option produces a single MP4 file, called capped-1080p.mp4, with the video resolution capped at 1080p. This option produces an audio.m4a file for an audio-only asset.
  • The audio-only option produces a single M4A file, called audio.m4a for a video or an audio-only asset. MP4 generation will error when this option is specified for a video-only asset.
  • The audio-only,capped-1080p option produces both the audio.m4a and capped-1080p.mp4 files. Only the capped-1080p.mp4 file is produced for a video-only asset, while only the audio.m4a file is produced for an audio-only asset.

The standard(deprecated) option produces up to three MP4 files with different levels of resolution (high.mp4, medium.mp4, low.mp4, or audio.m4a for an audio-only asset).

none will delete the MP4s from the asset in question.
