Hi there,

I'm trying to do something quite simple, which is:

• A user uploads a video to a chat (a message can have many attachments)
• The video uploaded automatically gets transcoded with Elastic Transcoder if it is a video
• The use on the receiving end receives the message along with the attachments instantly streamed via turbo

So far what I got working:

• Users can upload attachments and they are instantly streamed via turbo
• An AWS lambda function that triggers Elastic Transcoder to transcode a video whenever a new file is uploaded into my S3 bucket

What I'm stuck on / Questions I have:

• How do I retrieve the new transcoded video in the new S3 bucket from rails? (Currently the key is the same with an added prefix of the file type eg: mp4_blobkeyhere
• How can I prevent the message from being sent until after the transcode job is complete?
• Is using lambda even best practice here, or should I be calling for this job to be completed from my server?

I would really appreciate if anyone has any input into this situation.

Thanks!

Thanks for this, saved me some trouble!

Currently wanting to set up Apple + Omniauth on my website. I'm sure there would be many others in the same boat.

For anyone in the future who wants to get this to work with turbo, you will have to convert the FormData into a query string, and append that string to a form action (In my case I used the button_to tag). This way the fetch remains within turbo.

I'm just wondering if strong parameters are still necessary in this scenario?
