Compile search results or a list of videos/scenes into a single playable stream. Useful for creating compilations from search queries or combining specific video segments. 
import videodb

conn = videodb.connect(api_key="your_api_key")
coll = conn.get_collection()

# Search for videos
search_results = coll.search(query="action scenes")

# Compile search results into a stream
stream_url = search_results.compile()

print(f"Compiled stream: {stream_url}")
  • Compile is useful for creating highlight reels or compilations from search results
