[It there a way to change the default name of the published asset to task name?]

Currently in Maya when I publish an asset via Ftrack Connect the Publisher makes a name for the animation asset as "anim" (which is I assume a code for animation which can be set in settings).

What I want is to make the default name for animation asset a task name.

How can I do this?

[How to rename .fbx file via Ftrack connect on animation publishing?]

What I want is to rename game.fbx to version/[asset_name].fbx

How can I do that?

[Ftrack connect for Maya export settings]

Is there a way to choose selection set instead of specific shapes while exporting in Ftrack Maya Connect?

As for now i have a possibility to select shapes (if I choose Animation publisher) or joints (if I choose Rig publisher)

What I want to have is creating selection set in the rig asset and choosing it when I export the animation.

Is it possible?

 

[mp4 file for review wouldn't upload via ftrack-api]

Patrick, thanks.

It is indeed encoding the video! But I have a question now: how to add the encoded video that is located on ftrack server to the task? The documentation suggest that you have to have the file on the hard drive

[How to add version to existing asset without creating a new one via API]

I'm trying to add a new version of the shot and i'm using the documentation: https://ftrack-python-api.rtd.ftrack.com/en/stable/example/publishing.html

Do I understand correctly that in those documents is stated that one should create an asset and after that add a new version?

Because by doing so I've got a duplication error in case the asset is already created.

Is there a way to add version to existing asset without creating a new one via API?

I'm quite new to this so maybe I've just got something wrong.

[mp4 file for review wouldn't upload via ftrack-api]

So i'm trying to upload a mp4 file for the review.

That's what i'm doing:

file_path = r"d:\FtrackPlayground\ftrackreview-mp4.mp4"
assetParent = Shot['parent']
asset_type = session.query('AssetType where name is "Animation"').one()

asset = session.create('Asset', {
'name': 'MY_NAME',
'type': asset_type,
'parent': assetParent

})
asset_version = session.create('AssetVersion', {
'asset': asset,
'task': Shot,
})

session.commit()

asset_version.create_component(FilePath)
session.close()

I've got this from the documentation page: https://ftrack-python-api.rtd.ftrack.com/en/stable/example/publishing.html

the problem is that the file won't upload. I have an empty preview thumbnail.

Could somebody help?
