I have recently purchased a Nest Camera (Wired, Indoor) today and I am wanting to stream it to Youtube so I can embed a live-feed into my website and so I can share the stream with my friends so I do not have to add them to the Google Home application and give them access to all devices.
I've seen the api documents for it, but I do not understand them. I found the API Documents on google's developer site (https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/api/camera-wired#extend_a_live_stream), however I do not understand how this works, or how to complete it.
In my personal opinion, there should be a feature to stream it to a platform such as Youtube, such a feature would make things a lot easier for many people.
I have so far found no documents explaining how to do this except from the api documents.
There is no simple "out of the box" way to do this. You would need to setup some kind of device as an intermediary. One one side it would connect to the SDM API, open a stream, and start receiving the data. On the other side it would need to connect to the YouTube API (or equivalent) and pass the data through. Unfortunately you would need some degree of programming skill to engineer such as system.

Looking for some strategy here. We have a secure (subscription-based) website that points to another website for streaming video. Currently, a savvy user could potentially share the link to the streaming page thus bypassing the login. Looking for ideas on how to:
Prevent sharing the link
Cloak the link...or
Make the link from the origin page point to a dynamically-generated URL that can only be visited once.
Thanks in advance!
Unless there is a form of streaming the video from the third party to your application (by streaming I actually mean sending the video in chunks of data to your backend, assembling them back together, and serving the actual assembled video as if it was hosted directly on the same host as the web application, I have personally done this using Amazon S3 for my open-source subscription-based CMS called phpReel) I don't think you can securely do this.
If you do want to go down this route please note that it might get expensive if you have a lot of active subscriptions but if you are interested you could check out these files as they showcase how I have done it for phpReel. I am afraid though that you might need a developer for this job.
On a more optimistic note, may I ask what service do you actually use to stream your videos? For example, Vimeo with the cheapest paid plan offers an option that restricts access to your video outside a specific domain name. Meaning you can set that your videos must be streamed only on domain.com, and thus they will be accessible there and only there.
My boss has charged me with the task of finding how to integrate WeChat into our photobooth's "Total Share" section.
Our photobooths work under windows and their software is a mix of Java and a PHP web API installed locally, that then connects to a web service.
The intention is to give the user the option to, when their picture is done, get a copy of it via WeChat (I guess that by introducing it's phone number)
Through my searches I've found a WeChat JS-SDK, but that seems to connect sites you are watching on your phone with your actual WeChat app so it doesn't work in my case.
The other source I have found is the Official Account Admin Platform, but I'm not really sure if this would allow me to do what I need. As far as I've seen, the Official Account can send messages in response to a trigger (that would work for me, send a message when the user clicks on the button), but it also seems to need that they "subscribe" (in a way) to the Official Account, and secondly I'm not sure how can this be automatized.
Especial mention:
I'm a junior developer, so API integration is a bridge I haven't crossed yet, and as such I'm utterly lost.
Is it possible to get the functionality I require? If so, what are the steps to do it?
You don't need to make a fully fleshed tutorial to write an answer, just knowing in what direction should I go, and maybe some possible caveats that more experienced developers may be able to foresee, would be great.
Thanks.
I would like to have a custom skill, but it would need direct access to the users voice (our output of a recorded audio). Can/will Alexa relay the stream rather than sending the request invocations (launch/intent/session-end)?
I understand custom skills can send back mp3s as responses, but being able to gain access to the actual voice requests, either the stream or a mp3, would be awesome.
Edit:
It seems that there is not a provided mp3 in the request object: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/alexa-skills-kit-interface-reference#LaunchRequest
Alexa does not provide this service.
Having an always-on device in a domestic setting, that can hear everything said, plus background noise, and side conversations, is a huge security concern. Amazon mitigates this concern by filtering the input, performing the difficult Speech-to-text work, and only providing the resulting text. (After further processing by your interaction model.)
In short, no - I can't find anywhere specifically in the documentation but I just created a Python library that encapsulates all the JSON structures, so I know you can't do this yet.
The only control over audio is 'output' through embedding links in SSML.

If I build a website for my new awesome mobile app (or web service or whatever) I might want to do a slow launch, sending email invites to the first x people to register on the site.
Is there a good way to link each registered email to the corresponding data in google analytics (or any similar service), and query them based on location, language, etc.?
Maybe the spanish version isn't quite done yet, so I don't want to invite people who used a spanish browser to sign up. Or maybe my app is location-dependent (like time tables for buses) and just doesn't work at all outside of my home town.
I really want to have a simple email-only "registration".
It is completely possible, although it may breach some of GA's terms of use if done wrong.
You should not store email addresses in any way as part of your GA data because it would be considered personally identifiable data. However, there is nothing saying that you couldn't store a kind of GUID for each user, and then compare that with email addresses offline - although the user should be made aware that any actions they take while using your service/application/whatever are being tracked with the capability of being personally identified.
As far as getting the actual data that you are discussing, language and location are stored by GA by default, so no headache there!
The best way to store the user's GUID would probably be in a custom dimension. How you do this is going to depend on how you build your product. I had to write a tracking library using the measurement protocol for an AS3 project awhile back because there isn't an AS3 library that is supported anymore. If you are using JavaScript, it will be much easier, as Google offers native JS libraries to handle web analytics.
Finally, try taking a look at the documentation. Its pretty easy to understand
I have an thing to create Internet shop to sell video views. And there are some rules, which I don't know how to do. The rules is:
Loggined client can only view one video 3 times per day.
I read somewhere that I need to generate virtual links to video and server must hold it, for example, 3 hours OR until client looked up to the end the video, and then delete this virtual link and refresh player state to "start video position and waiting for start". Like on youtube but client shouldn't have a way to rewind the video.
I need to hold situation that client who buy 'video01' give another client him page address or all attributes data from player tag. If second client don't buy 'video01' he shouldn't load it. (I think it's can be solved by cookies).
After 180 video views, client's subscription must be stopped.
And finally question from me is how to play video from my website? Can anyone explain me how to make asp.net site with rules that I wrote the above? What technology I need to use?
I will be grateful if someone advise me a literature that I need to read to know how to do this? Perhaps for a start I need to know how to play video on asp.net webpages.
What free flash player I should use for my solution, any examples please? Really need help.
P.S.: I need to use a free flash player to play videos, not silverlight.
The videos are on the remote servers, not on the local server where I hold the site.
To limit the video as per your requirement you need to use GenericHandlers in asp.net. It must be designed in such a way that the url must expire after reaching the above condition.
For Example, you can generate a random key that should append with the url (ie, QueryString) and store it in Database along with the time of generation. You can make the key expire after 3 hours then.
To play the video on your website you can add jQuery plugin videojs. The documentation will help you to add that simple HTML5+Flash video player.
