Is there any way to set

Is there any way to set maxDurationSeconds when uploading from a URL? https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/operations/stream-videos-upload-videos-from-a-url It seems the Upload-Metadata header is fully ignored here Under direct creator uploads docs I see that it's possible to set it in the Upload-Metadata header, but it doesn't seem to be working if you upload from a URL https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/direct-creator-uploads/#upload-metadata-header-syntax

Makes sense, but the docs don't show a way to set maxDurationSeconds there https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/operations/stream-videos-upload-videos-from-a-url It doesn't seem to work if I set it in the body...can you confirm if it's possible? If not, would it be possible for it to be added? Thanks for replying and looking into this

Yeah I'm just uploading from a file from URL but I'd like to limit the length of the video This is the body I'm trying to use:

{
    "url": "https://example.com/video.mp4",
    "meta": {
        "name": "video12345.mp4"
    },
    "maxDurationSeconds": 1
}

{
    "url": "https://example.com/video.mp4",
    "meta": {
        "name": "video12345.mp4"
    },
    "maxDurationSeconds": 1
}

Right I was considering using direct creator uploads but I'm worried about if they have a slow upload speed and uploads fail and storage ends up being used for longer than necessary. I'd basically need to set a longer expiration time with direct creator uploads than I'd be comfortable with. It's a bit easier to manage it like this

Makes sense -- I'm hoping this can be supported since it helps cut down on API requests which is another thing to worry about

Thanks again for your time. Will figure out a way to make it work in the meantime

Yes I suppose one way around that is to delete an upload in progress before they can start a new one

Yeah it makes a lot of sense to handle it that way. It does force me to think about storage more which is a good thing
