Removed GetQCStatus request
QC status information moved to GetStatus response.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<query>
<userid><<id>></userid> <!-- required-->
<userkey><<key>></userkey> <!-- required-->
<action>GetStatus</action>
<mediaid>[MediaID]</mediaid><!-- required -->
</query>
{
"query": {
"userid": "<<id>>",
"userkey": "<<key>>",
"action": "GetQCStatus",
"mediaid": "[MediaID]"
}
}
Media ID
You can use the ID of original media or the ID of QC-media which you can find by GetStatus request or in UI.
