Play request: play transcoding with profile_id=... for original = ...

[MC-arjen]

since we support several original mediafiles per asset, we need a play request possibility with the the only known information:
- original mediafile_id
- profile_id

Which translates to: "give me the transcoded file according profile_id = {profile_id} of the original {mediafile_id}".

The development is ready. Robert has to review the code.

[MC-arjen]

missing documentation in asset/$asset_id/play ?

[forgacs]

Api was improved:

[MC-arjen]

included in release 1.7.0.1.

(MC-arjen) Added an extra play request option: /asset/id/play with
profile_id=... for original = ... Which translates to: "play the file
which is transcoded according profile_id = {profile_id} of the
original {mediafile_id}".

First the bad news: documentation
Current (1.7 dev) documentation is at http://mediamosa.org/node/5100
1.6 documentation is at http://mediamosa.org/node/3512 and should be rolled back to the previous version as in 1.6 there was no support for the new options.
1.5 documentation is at http://mediamosa.org/node/4766 and also shows the new options.

Second: good news - technical
It works as described, when multiple original files are available in an asset, and multiple transcodings of those originals are available, it's possible to request play and download URL's this way.

Third: a question
In the documentation, also the 'tag' parameter is provided.
I hoped a call like /asset/{id}/play?tag=xyz&user_id=foo would be working, but that is not the case. It requires a mediafile_id. Is tag implemented?
Yes: please give an usage example
No: please remove it from documentation (and maybe add a new ticket). I foresee the use of a 'preview' tag in SURFmedia, which can be on transcode id 13 (as for now), but also on different mediafiles on that asset...

[forgacs]

/asset/{id}/play?tag=
It is not implemented. Removed from the documentation.

[Michiel.Schok]

Added a new ticket #216 in MediaMosa x.x to request for tag support in /asset/{id}/play
