Media Controller

Introduction

The Media Controller manages all media-related operations in AdmiralCloud, including file retrieval, creation, updates, deletion, uploads, and downloads. It serves as the primary interface for working with media files across different formats and types (images, videos, audio, documents).

Key capabilities:

• Retrieve media items from containers with flexible filtering options
• Create media entries for new uploads or transcoding operations
• Update media properties and usage types
• Delete media items with dependency checking
• Import files from external URLs
• Generate secure download links with customizable expiration
• Access preview images with automatic resizing

Important notes:

• Media operations respect user permissions for access control
• For local file uploads, use the S3 Controller
• Original media files are protected and can only be deleted through container deletion
