# Text-To-Video

This example demonstrates how to deploy the Wan2.2 text-to-video model for online video generation using vLLM-Omni.

## Start Server

### Basic Start

```bash
vllm serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers --omni --port 8091
```

### Start with Parameters

Or use the startup script:

```bash
bash run_server.sh
```

The script allows overriding:
- `MODEL` (default: `Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers`)
- `PORT` (default: `8091`)
- `BOUNDARY_RATIO` (default: `0.875`)
- `FLOW_SHIFT` (default: `5.0`)
- `CACHE_BACKEND` (default: `none`)
- `ENABLE_CACHE_DIT_SUMMARY` (default: `0`)

## Async Job Behavior

`POST /v1/videos` is asynchronous. It creates a video job and immediately
returns metadata like the job ID and initial `queued` status. To get the final
artifact, poll the job status and then download the completed file from the
content endpoint.

The main endpoints are:
- `POST /v1/videos`: create a video generation job
- `GET /v1/videos/{video_id}`: retrieve the current job status and metadata
- `GET /v1/videos`: list stored video jobs
- `GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content`: download the generated video file
- `DELETE /v1/videos/{video_id}`: delete the job and any stored output

## Storage

Generated video files are stored on local disk by the async video API.
Local file storage behavior can be controlled via the following environment variables:

- `VLLM_OMNI_STORAGE_PATH`: directory used for generated files (default: `/tmp/storage`)
- `VLLM_OMNI_STORAGE_MAX_CONCURRENCY`: max concurrent save/delete operations (default: `4`)

Example:

```bash
export VLLM_OMNI_STORAGE_PATH=/var/tmp/vllm-omni-videos
export VLLM_OMNI_STORAGE_MAX_CONCURRENCY=8
```

## API Calls

### Method 1: Using curl

```bash
# Basic text-to-video generation
bash run_curl_text_to_video.sh

# Or execute directly (OpenAI-style multipart)
create_response=$(curl -s http://localhost:8091/v1/videos \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -F "prompt=Two anthropomorphic cats in comfy boxing gear and bright gloves fight intensely on a spotlighted stage." \
  -F "width=832" \
  -F "height=480" \
  -F "num_frames=33" \

  -F "fps=16" \
  -F "num_inference_steps=40" \

  -F "guidance_scale_2=4.0" \
  -F "boundary_ratio=0.875" \
  -F "flow_shift=5.0" \
  -F "seed=42")

video_id=$(echo "$create_response" | jq -r '.id')
while true; do
  status=$(curl -s "http://localhost:8091/v1/videos/${video_id}" | jq -r '.status')
  if [ "$status" = "completed" ]; then
    break
  fi
  if [ "$status" = "failed" ]; then
    echo "Video generation failed"
    exit 1
  fi
  sleep 2
done

curl -s "http://localhost:8091/v1/videos/${video_id}" | jq .
curl -L "http://localhost:8091/v1/videos/${video_id}/content" -o wan22_output.mp4
```
