I've managed to upload an MP4 file to the BLOB container associated with my Azure media services account. I want to know if my next course of action should be to try and publish the video? if so how would I do that by referencing the BLOB where the video is stored. Could someone show me an example of how this is done? Azure Media Services will create an asset entity and link that to the blob container you are using to upload asset files. By publishing the asset, our streaming service would know which blob container to look into to retrieve those Mp4 files. Once your file is encoded or uploaded

I'm using the Windows Azure Media Services .NET SDK 3 to make use of the streaming services. I want to retrieve the duration of the video. How can I retrieve the duration of a video using the Windows Azure Media Services .NET SDK 3? David Kristensen Azure creates some metadata files (xml) which could be queried for the duration. These files be accessed using the media-service extension https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-media-services-extensions Under Get Assets Meta Data: // The asset encoded with the Windows Media Services Encoder. Get a reference to it from the context. IAsset asset =

I asked this question on the MSDN forums , but as always - there's no point in waiting on a reply from there. What I am trying to do for now is to enable users to trim the start and end of their videos using the Media Encoder Standard encoder and a custom preset. However because it is not documented anywhere (despite being the "recommended" encoder), I can't get it to work. Here is what I add to the standard encoding preset JSON object: customPreset.Sources = [ { 'Clips': [ { 'StartTime': '00:00:10', //sample values 'EndTime': '00:02:03' } ] } ]; The rest of the preset is a slightly modified

We have begun using the Azure Media Service (AMS) to encode, encrypt and host our videos (MP4) which is working well. However, in addition to videos we have MP3 audio files. Since we are already using the AMS it made sense to put them here as well however we are experiencing problems. When we try to encode from the portal we receive an error asking us to try again later, when we encode from the Azure Media Services Explorer (AMSE) it completes the encoding but will not play from the Azure Media Player, it displays an error: What is the best way of encoding and playing audio using AMS, we even

We are designing an Azure Website which will allow users to Upload content(MP4,Docx...MSOffice Files) which can then be accessed. Some video content we will encode to provide several differing quality formats, before it will be streamed (using Azure Media Services ). We need to add an intermediate step so we can scan uploaded files for potential virus risk. Is there functionality built into azure (or third party) which will allow us to call an API to scan content before processing it? We are ideally looking for an API rather than just a background service on a VM, so we can get feedback

We're using ASP.NET MVC 4 to allow users to upload video and audio through our website. I would like to use Azure Media Service as the back-end for this. While following Azure's tutorial , the issue I've run into is that the Azure Media Services SDK doesn't appear to allow uploading a raw stream of data. Instead, the only upload method I could find uses a path string argument. I would like to avoid saving the file to disk ( it's already streamed to disk by default ), and be able to stream the request posted file right through to Azure. Here is my code thus far: public void SaveMedia(string

For my scenario, our current app is begin coded in html5 and angularjs communicating with web api. I have a workflow scenario that I seem to not be able to find an end to end example for. I would like to allow users of my website to upload videos and images to Azure Media Services. I found several examples that seem to move the data from a web page to blob storage and then copy over to azure media services. Is there a way to upload the file directly to Media Services, instead of having a temporary and permanent blob container(one tied to AMS), as this approach seems to force me to have an
