Hi@Amey,

You can enable WebHDFS to do this task. Follow the below given steps.

  1. Enable WebHDFS in HDFS configuration file. (hdfs-site.xml)
    Set dfs.webhdfs.enabled as true.

  2. Restart HDFS daemons.

  3. We can now access HDFS with the WebHDFS API.

Now you can browse your video by using curl command.

$ curl -i "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1/<PATH>

As we know video file is combination of arrays. So read your video file in a variable.

Hope this helps!
