Custom qualities

In addition to the formats defined from the system administration page, it is possible to allow users to request custom qualities/renditions of formats that the users define on-the-fly. This can be done via the “Custom quality” button in the download dialog shown above or by calling the endpoint <api-url>/DigizuiteCore/LegacyService/api/renditions/<asset-id>/custom.

...

A user must have at least one of the roles Asset_Can_Download_Custom_Quality and Asset_Can_Download_Any to have access to the custom quality download functionality.

Custom qualities/renditions are always generated on-demand. However, if the exact requested quality/rendition has already been generated, it is reused. Custom qualities/renditions are automatically cleaned up if they have not been downloaded in a while. By default, custom qualities/renditions are cleaned up after 30 days, but this can be configured from the general settings page in the Media Manager.
