How do I read a source file on Akamai HD?
I need to convert a Flash player for videos hosted on Akamai HD servers to HTML 5 version. But I haven't worked with Akamai in the past, so I'm new to Akamai with limited development time. The videos are already in MP4 format (MP4 container, H264 video). But its accessed as an FLV container (it is automatically transcoded to Akamai). The Urls looks like http://something.akamaihd.net/file_part_4,3.,2.,mp4.csmil/.....&primaryToken=token . What are the first steps to access source files (I think there is some REST API)? What additional access requirements do I need besides tokens (as opposed to accessing the FLV container)? Thanks for your patience with my newbies.

To access the source files, you need to create a different configuration (for example, the Progessive Media boot configuration) that will use the same source as the AkamaiHD configuration. If you have requirements for the token, you will also have to implement the token logic in the new configuration. Please Note: Tokens are not a requirement for HD configuration or any other type of configuration - this is a feature that you can enable if needed.
