{
    "query": {
        "userid": "<<id>>", // required
        "userkey": "<<key>>", // required
        "action": "AddMedia", // required
        "source": "[SourceURL]", // required
        "ludicrous_mode": "[yes|no]",
        "format": {
            "output": "mainconcept_mxf", // required

    }
}

🚧

Compatability

For now Ludicrous Mode is supported for advanced_hls, fmp4_hls, advanced_dash, advanced_fmp4, mp4, adaptive_intermediate*, and mainconcept_mxf output formats.

Also, you can use closed_captions output format in media with Ludicrous Mode.

If ludicrous mode is requested for a format the encoding or other processing engine cannot support, the API will return an error message.
