1. VIAME-Web is accessible, so I know the web instance is working fine. How can I tell if the worker instance is working as expected?

1. Open the Girder REST API Documentation
2. Scroll down to find “Worker”
3. Click “GET”
4. Click “Execute”

If the processes run, the instance is working as expected.

2. How do I upload custom pipelines?

Kitware provides instructions on pipeline import and export.

3. Videos uploaded to the S3 bucket are defaulting to a frame rate of 30 FPS, which differs from the annotation frame rate. How can the frame rate be assigned when uploading?

The default behavior for S3 bucket imports is to set the annotation rate to match the video frame rate. This can be changed in the girder metadata for the folder:

4. Is there a way to restart a job on girder rather than just cancel?

At this time, there is no way to restart or re-run girder jobs. This would be a bigger development effort requiring changes into other repositories to support that.
