If you are serving/managing media on Brightcove, then you absolutely need to be leveraging the API to automate your media workflow. There are aspects of the API that are complicated to deal with (submitting multipart/form-data encoded files and metadata, for example) that detract for building Brightcove enabled processes/applications.

The goal of this library is to hide all that cruft from the end user (application developer). It's just started, with on a single working API call -- create_video -- but hopefully you can help us finish it up.

Go ahead and create a fork today, looking forward to your pull requests.
