Media & Streaming

Find the exact clip without watching the whole file

Index every media segment you store so a query returns the right clip by timecode, instead of a person scrubbing through hours of footage by hand.

What this is, honestly: the OSC catalog does not carry a full media asset management (MAM) product (checked live, 186 services, 63 in the media category, none named MAM). This stack is the MAM-adjacent building block that exists today - segment indexing and lookup on TAMS Gateway - not a claim that it replaces a MAM suite.

What You Get

Look up the exact media segment by timecode instead of scrubbing a file

One index that grows with the library, not a spreadsheet of filenames

Any tool that can call an API can query the index

No infrastructure of your own to run or patch

Building Blocks

This solution combines these open source services available on Open Source Cloud.

TAMS Gateway

Stores and indexes segmented media flows so a query can return the exact segment

CouchDB

Holds the segment index and metadata TAMS Gateway queries against

Minio

S3-compatible storage for the media segments themselves

For agents and tooling

The machine-readable descriptor for this stack is served as JSON, so an agent can select it without parsing this page. It names the service chain (TAMS Gateway backed by CouchDB and S3-compatible storage), the required config fields, what a query returns, and what is and is not yet measured.
