In the code that you cloned at the beginning of the article, the GetCredentialsAsync function creates the ServiceClientCredentials object based on the credentials supplied in the local configuration file appsettings. In the case of interactive authentication, the GetCredentialsInteractiveAuthAsync function creates the ServiceClientCredentials object based on an interactive authentication and the connection parameters supplied in the local configuration file appsettings.

The CreateInputAsset function creates a new input Asset and uploads the specified local video file into it. This Asset is used as the input to your encoding job. The following. NET snippet shows how. A storage account has two keys because it allows for seamless rotation of storage account keys for example, change one while using the other then start using the new key and rotate the other key.

The output Asset stores the result of your encoding job. The project defines the DownloadResults function that downloads the results from this output asset into the "output" folder, so you can see what you got. When encoding or processing content in Media Services, it's a common pattern to set up the encoding settings as a recipe.

You would then submit a Job to apply that recipe to a video. By submitting new jobs for each new video, you're applying that recipe to all the videos in your library. A recipe in Media Services is called a Transform. For more information, see Transforms and Jobs.

The sample described in this tutorial defines a recipe that encodes the video in order to stream it to a variety of iOS and Android devices. When creating a new Transform instance, you need to specify what you want it to produce as an output.

The required parameter is a TransformOutput object, as shown in the code below. Each TransformOutput contains a Preset. The sample described in this article uses a built-in Preset called AdaptiveStreaming. The Preset encodes the input video into an auto-generated bitrate ladder bitrate-resolution pairs based on the input resolution and bitrate, and produces ISO MP4 files with H. For information about this Preset, see auto-generating bitrate ladder.

You can use a built-in EncoderNamedPreset or use custom presets. For more information, see How to customize encoder presets. When creating a Transform , you should first check if one already exists using the Get method, as shown in the code that follows. As mentioned above, the Transform object is the recipe and a Job is the actual request to Media Services to apply that Transform to a given input video or audio content. The Job specifies information like the location of the input video, and the location for the output.

In this example, the input video has been uploaded from your local machine. The job takes some time to complete and when it does you want to be notified. The code sample below shows how to poll the service for the status of the Job. Polling isn't a recommended best practice for production apps because of potential latency. Polling can be throttled if overused on an account. Developers should instead use Event Grid.

Windows Media Encoder is a free download from Microsoft. Download the program from the Microsoft website. The latest version at the time of writing this article is version 9.

Figure 1 - New Session Wizard. Figure 2 - Display Information. The encoding will begin and can take some time. When it is finished you will see the Encoding Results window and can click "Play Output File" to check the encoded media. You can upload the media file to your website using this procedure from the Klixo Knowledge base. We're always happy to help, so please feel free to contact Klixo Support on 07 or email us.
