Short answer

How can I audit my video technical metadata using AI?

Your AI uses the Aliyun VOD connection to pull specific technical specs and asset statuses directly into your chat. You get a detailed breakdown of file properties and library states without ever opening the Aliyun console. This allows you to spot encoding errors or missing files instantly.

Where your data lands.

The results of your audit.

The AI processes your requests and organizes the results into these categories.

REPORT

Technical spec sheets

The AI pulls specific bitrates, resolutions, and codecs for your files. You get a clean summary of the technical health of your assets.

AUDIT

Status reports

The AI checks the processing state of your videos. You can quickly see which files are finished and which are still transcoding.

LIST

Asset inventories

The AI scans your library to count or group videos. You get a structured list of everything currently in your Aliyun VOD account.

HUMAN

Manual fixes

The AI cannot change video settings or delete files. You'll need to go into the Aliyun console if you need to edit a file or change a transcoding template.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Aliyun VOD API.

  1. Scan the library

    The AI identifies which videos exist in your account to establish a baseline for your request.

    list_media

  2. Fetch specific details

    Once the AI finds the right files, it pulls the deep technical metadata for those specific assets.

    get_media_metadata

  3. Analyze the data

    The AI compares the retrieved specs against your requirements to find discrepancies.

    get_media_metadata

  4. Summarize findings

    The AI presents the final technical report or status list in plain text for you to read.

    list_media
