Write some Software

I need a restful API written to use internally within my applications. This API will be responsible for transcoding videos from a remote server to another format. During the transcoding process, this API needs to report the transcoding progress to a specified endpoint within the API call. This API also needs to signal when the transcoding has finished and send a list of the files back to the application for the application to download. The transcoding process will need to do the following: 1. Find the size of the aspect ratio of a video file to transcode and scale the video file into multiple sizes. For example a 1080p video should be transcoded into 1080p, 720p, 480p, 320p, and 240p. 2. Create a thumbnail for every second of video transcoded. All of this can be done with FFMPEG, trust me, I've done it. The problem with my current implementation is that it's really buggy and fails around 30% of the time. This code will need to be very stable and fail less than 1% of the time. The API should have the following methods 1. Transcode: This will be the command to transcode a video from one format to another. The video file will be on a remote server, so your code will need to download the video file from the remote server. It should take a parameter to specify the output format and 3 parameters for failure, status, and completion. This API call should return an ID number for the current transcode for any other API calls to perform actions. 2. Delete: This will be a command to delete the files for a previous transcode process. This should only accept a file ID. This command should also delete any associated temporary files. 3. Cancel: This command should cancel a transcode and delete any temporary files associated. 4. Retranscode: This command should allow me to instruct the API to re-transcode the video file in the case of server failure.
