Video Tape POST Feature - Implementation Complete #

Status: ✅ Phases 1-4 Complete, Phase 5 Documented #

Implementation Date: October 17, 2025

Overview #

This feature allows users to post video recordings (tapes) from the video piece, uploading them to cloud storage, creating database records with short codes, and eventually syncing to ATProto with MP4 videos.

Architecture Flow #

User clicks POST
    ↓
video.mjs (Frontend) - POST button UI
    ↓ create-and-post-tape message
bios.mjs (BIOS Layer) - ZIP creation (6x scaled frames + timing.json + metadata.json)
    ↓ Upload ZIP to S3/DO Spaces
    ↓ POST to api/track-tape
track-tape.mjs (Netlify Function) - Generate code, insert MongoDB, queue MP4
    ↓
MongoDB: { code, slug, when, bucket, user, nuked, mp4Status }
    ↓ Return { code, slug }
bios.mjs - Send tape:posted callback
    ↓
video.mjs - Show success message
    ↓
[Async MP4 Conversion Service] - Convert ZIP to MP4
    ↓ POST to api/tape-mp4-complete
tape-mp4-complete.mjs (Webhook) - Update MongoDB with MP4 URL
    ↓ Call createTapeOnAtproto()
tape-atproto.mjs - Sync to ATProto with video blob
    ↓
MongoDB: { ..., mp4: "https://...", mp4Status: "complete", at: { rkey, uri, cid } }
    ↓
Media Edge Function - Route /media/{userId}/{slug}.mp4 requests
    ↓ Check mp4Status
    ↓ If complete: redirect to MP4
    ↓ If processing: return HTML/JSON status page

Phase 1: Frontend POST Button ✅ #

File: /system/public/aesthetic.computer/disks/video.mjs

Changes: #

State Variables (lines 35-42):
- Added postBtn, isPostingTape
- Removed btn, framesBtn, gifBtn

POST Button UI (lines 222-225):

postBtn = new TextButton("POST", { right: 6, bottom: 6 });

POST Handler (lines 530-607):
- Sends create-and-post-tape message with frames array
- Shows progress (1% → 90%)
- Disables button during upload
Callbacks (lines 1071-1107):
- tape:posted: Show success with code
- tape:post-error: Show error message
Old Buttons Removed (lines 428-990):
- MP4, GIF export handlers commented out

Phase 2: BIOS ZIP Creation & Upload ✅ #

File: /system/public/aesthetic.computer/bios.mjs

Changes: #

create-and-post-tape Handler (lines 5119-5310):
- Receives frames array from video.mjs
- Scales frames 6x using canvas (10-75% progress)
- Creates ZIP with:
  - frame-{n}.png - All scaled frames
  - timing.json - Frame durations and timestamps
  - metadata.json - Piece info, dimensions, duration
- Generates filename: {piece}-{timestamp}.zip
- Calls receivedUpload() with metadata
receivedUpload Updates (line 12196, 12310-12355):
- Added metadata parameter
- Detects tape uploads: ext === "zip" && metadata
- POSTs to api/track-tape with { slug, ext, metadata }
- Extracts code from response
- Sends tape:posted callback with code

ZIP Structure:

wand-1729177200000.zip
├── frame-0.png     (3840x2880, 6x scaled)
├── frame-1.png
├── ...
├── timing.json     [{ frame, filename, duration, timestamp }, ...]
└── metadata.json   { piece, frameCount, totalDuration, scale, ... }

Phase 3: Backend MongoDB ✅ #

File: /system/netlify/functions/track-tape.mjs

Features: #

Code Generation:
- Uses customAlphabet (3-char codes)
- Collision detection with retry logic
- Expands to 4 chars after 100 collisions

MongoDB Record:

{
  code: "a3x",
  slug: "wand-1729177200000",
  when: new Date(),
  bucket: "user-aesthetic-computer" | "art-aesthetic-computer",
  user: "auth0|...", // undefined for guests
  nuked: false,
  mp4Status: "pending" | "processing" | "complete"
}

Indexes:
- { code: 1 } - unique
- { user: 1 } - sparse (only for authenticated)
- { when: 1 } - chronological
- { slug: 1 } - lookups
- { slug: 1, user: 1 } - unique per user
Guest Support:
- Works without authentication
- Stores in art-aesthetic-computer bucket
- No user field (undefined)
MP4 Conversion Queue:
- Calls external service with ZIP URL
- Sets mp4Status: "processing"
- Fire-and-forget (doesn't block response)

Phase 4: ATProto Integration ✅ #

File: `/at/lexicons/computer/aesthetic/tape.json` #

Lexicon Schema:

{
  "lexicon": 1,
  "id": "computer.aesthetic.tape",
  "record": {
    "required": ["slug", "code", "when", "video"],
    "properties": {
      "slug": { "type": "string" },
      "code": { "type": "string" },
      "when": { "type": "string", "format": "datetime" },
      "video": { "type": "blob", "accept": ["video/mp4"], "maxSize": 52428800 },
      "ref": { "type": "string" }
    }
  }
}

File: `/system/backend/tape-atproto.mjs` #

Function: createTapeOnAtproto(database, mongoId, mp4Url)

Process:

Fetch tape from MongoDB by _id
Skip if guest tape (no user)
Check user has ATProto account
Download MP4 from URL
Login to ATProto PDS
Upload MP4 as blob
Create ATProto record with video blob
Update MongoDB with at: { rkey, uri, cid }

Error Handling:

Returns { error } for guests, no-account, failures
Logs all steps for debugging
Gracefully skips ATProto if not applicable

File: `/system/netlify/functions/tape-mp4-complete.mjs` #

Webhook Handler:

Receives POST from conversion service
Payload: { mongoId, mp4Url, status: "complete" }
Updates MongoDB: { mp4: url, mp4Status: "complete" }
Calls createTapeOnAtproto() to sync
Returns 200 with success/skip message

Phase 5: MP4 Conversion & Routing ✅ Documented #

File: `/system/netlify/edge-functions/media.js` #

Enhanced Media Router:

Detects .mp4 requests matching tape pattern
Calls handleTapeMp4Request(resourcePath)
Queries tape status from MongoDB
Routes based on mp4Status:
- complete: Redirect to actual MP4 URL
- processing: Return HTML status page or JSON
- pending: Return pending status

HTML Status Page (202 response):

<html>
  <!-- Spinner animation -->
  <h1>🎬 Converting Tape to MP4</h1>
  <p>Tape <code>a3x</code> is being processed...</p>
  <script>setTimeout(() => location.reload(), 5000);</script>
</html>

JSON Status (202 response):

{
  "status": "processing",
  "message": "MP4 conversion in progress",
  "slug": "wand-1729177200000",
  "code": "a3x"
}

File: `/system/netlify/functions/get-tape-status.mjs` #

Status Query Function:

GET ?slug=wand-1729177200000
Returns: { slug, code, when, mp4Status, mp4 }
Used by media edge function

File: `/plans/tape-mp4-conversion-service.md` #

External Service Specification:

Input: ZIP URL, callback URL, metadata
Process: Extract frames → FFmpeg concat → MP4 encode
Output: MP4 uploaded to S3, callback POST
Options: Standalone Node.js service (recommended) or Netlify background function
FFmpeg: 30fps interpolation, H.264, CRF 23, neighbor scaling
Deployment: DigitalOcean App Platform or Render.com
