Segment file format and how to download

[andrewboes]

Hello Andrew Boes from Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife here.

The media object returned by api.get_media(id) contains a reference to file 'segment_info'. I was able to download this file by cobbling together a few of the api calls (tator.util.download_media and _download_file). Is there a way to flag the media download to include all related files (segements, thumbnails, etc...)?

Now that I have the downloaded file, I am not sure how to parse it to get the segment info. Here is a line from the file:

{"name": "mdat", "offset": 27191105, "size": 1050681}, {"name": "moof", "offset": 28241786, "size": 296, "frame_start": 640, "frame_samples": 24}

I assume that "mdat" is a reference to some kind of classification. Where can I download all the classifications? Where is the rectangle information?

Thanks!
