BrightCoveRendition read only fields

[AtomicRaven]

Hi,

I'm attempting to write MetaData and noticed some Brightcove rendition fields are read-only while in the api docs they are write-able.

Specifically EncodingRate, FrameHeight, and FrameWidth:

http://support.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/docs/creating-videos-remote-assets-using-media-api

frameHeight: Required for multiple renditions: The height of the image in pixels.
frameWidth: Required for multiple renditions: The width of the image in pixels.
encodingRate: Required for multiple renditions: For multi-bitrate streaming renditions, the encoding rate in bits per second. For example, 150 kbps is specified as 150000.
If you do not supply a value for the encoding rate, the encodingRate property for the video will be returned as 0.

Is there a way to change this?

Best,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm not 100% sure, but it's possible that the API defined those fields as read-only a few years ago when I first wrote this wrapper. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't now tweak to code to remove the private on the relevant setters, make those fields writable, and pass them along to the API when serializing a BrightcoveRendition.

My day job doesn't leave a whole lot of time for maintaining this project any more; and I'm no longer really set up to develop with .NET, anyway. Do you think you'd be able to make the changes to this project to suit your needs, maybe add a test or two, and submit a pull request? I'd be happy to offer guidance and feedback to assist you.

Thanks.

Regards,
Dave

These are writable for remote assets, but otherwise read only.
