16. Assets
Are identified through a unique ID – link to a block blob location on storage
Can take a custom ID through their “AlternateId” attribute
Can be uploaded
Clear: no encryption (AssetCreationOptions.None)
CENC: for CENC encrypted content (AssetCreationOptions.CommonEncryptionProtected)
Envelope: for HLS AES encrypted content (AssetCreationOptions.EnvelopeEncryptionProtected)
Storage Encrypted: on-disk AES 256 encryption (AssetCreationOptions.StorageEncrypted)
When encrypted before upload, the key needs association with asset
Unencrypt:
For Encoding / Processing: automatic decryption for Storage Encrypted assets (not for CENC or Envelope)
For Streaming: or progressive download: through an Asset Delivery Policy with policy type “NoDynamicEncryption”
Unencrypt with a processor
Download through SDK

17. Asset upload example Add NuGet package “windowsazure.mediaservices”
Create CloudMediaContext object using AMS Credentials
IAsset inputAsset =
_context.Assets.Create(assetName, AssetCreationOptions.None);
var assetFile =
inputAsset.AssetFiles.Create(“video.mp4”);
.NET SDK Extensions allow conveniently for:
_context.Assets.CreateFromFile(path, options)

In China (no Premium WF deployed)
Use when:
Expertise in media encoding
MP4 & Non-MP4 output (MXF, MPEG-TS, ...)
Custom logic during encoding
MXF Input (channel mapping)
Dolby in (E/AC3/E-AC3) & out (DD+)
Closed Captioning, Subtitle burning, ...
Please move away from Azure Media Encoder (AME or WAME)

21. Media Encoder Standard
Use Preset Name (String) OR a custom json preset. Example: {
"Version": 1.0,
"Codecs": [
"KeyFrameInterval": "00:00:02",
"H264Layers": [
"Profile": "Auto",
"Level": "auto",
"Bitrate": 3400,

"SamplingRate": 48000,
"Bitrate": 128,
"Type": "AACAudio" } ],
"Outputs": [
"FileName": "{Basename}_{Width}x{Height}_{VideoBitrate}.mp4",
"Format": {
"Type": "MP4Format" ]

22. Media Encoder Standard
var job = _context.Jobs.Create(“MES Job”);
var processor = _context.MediaProcessors.Where(p => p.Name ==
“Media Encoder Standard”).ToList().OrderBy( p => new Version(p.Version)).LastOrDefault();
var task = job.Tasks.AddNew(“my task”, processor, “H264 Multiple Bitrate 720p”,
TaskOptions.None);
task.InputAssets.Add(asset);
task.OutputAssets.AddNew(“result asset”, AssetCreationOptions.None);
job.Submit();

23. Media Encoder Premium workflow
Does not take a preset string but takes a workflow as first input asset
Create a .workflow file using the “Workflow Designer” desktop software
Upload .workflow file into a new Asset
When launching “Media Encoder Premium Workflow” job:
Use .workflow asset as first input asset
Use media asset to encode as second input asset
Use an empty configuration string, unless for advanced “property-override” scenarios like multi-file input
var task = job.Tasks.AddNew(“my task”, premiumprocessor, “”,TaskOptions.None);
task.InputAssets.Add(workflowasset);
task.InputAssets.Add(assettoencode);
task.OutputAssets.AddNew(“result asset”, AssetCreationOptions.None);
job.Submit();

42. Multi-DRM support EME utilizes standards for CENC
Browsers support different Content Decryption Modules (CDM)
Edge/IE supports PlayReady
Chrome supports Widevine
Firefox and Safari support PlayReady via Silverlight
Sample
var myPlayer = amp("azuremediaplayer", /* Options */);
myPlayer.src([{
src: "[src uri]",
type: "application/vnd.ms-sstr+xml",
protectionInfo: [
{ type: "PlayReady", authenticationToken: "[PlayReady Token]"},
{ type: "Widevine", authenticationToken: "[Widevine Token]"} ]
}] );

43. Captions and subtitles
WebVTT Captions and Subtitle support
Use Azure Media Indexer to automatically generate subtitles from the audio
Sample
var myPlayer = amp("azuremediaplayer", myOptions);
myPlayer.src( [
{ src: "[src uri]", type: "application/vnd.ms-sstr+xml" }, ],
{ src: "[track1 uri]", srclang: "[lang code]", kind: "[captions||subtitles]",
label: "[label]" },
{ src: "[track2 uri]", srclang: "[lang code]", kind: "[captions||subtitles]", … ] );

44. Bitrate selection
Automatically determines the appropriate bitrate based on the bandwidth available
App developers can force a bitrate if necessary
End users can use the UI to select a bitrate to save bandwidth
Sample
myPlayer.addEventListener(amp.eventName.loadedmetadata, function () {
var stream = myPlayer.currentVideoStreamList().streams ? myPlayer.currentVideoStreamList().streams[0] : undefined;
if (stream) {
stream.selectTrackByIndex(0); }
});
myPlayer.src([{ src: "[src uri]", type: "application/vnd.ms-sstr+xml" }]);

45. Heuristic profiles Choose how AMP loads the stream at start time
Valid for AzureHtml5JS (uses HTML5 and MPEG-DASH)
Quick Start Mode (default):
Loads as fast as possible starting at the lowest bitrate
High Quality Mode:
Loads at the highest possible quality starting with a bandwidth check
var myOptions = {
"nativeControlsForTouch": false,
autoplay: true,
controls: true,
width: "640",
height: "400",
poster: "[poster uri]",
heuristicProfile: "HighQuality" };
myPlayer.src([{ src: "[src uri]", type: "application/vnd.ms-sstr+xml" }]);

46. Multi-audio selection
By default, the last audio track in manifest is selected
App developers can change the audio track via an API
End user can change the audio strea, via the UI
Valid for AzureHtml5JS and FlashSS
Sample
myPlayer.addEventListener(amp.eventName.loadedmetadata, function () {
if (myPlayer.currentAudioStreamList()) {
for (var i = 0; i < myPlayer.currentAudioStreamList().streams.length; i++) {
if (myPlayer.currentAudioStreamList().streams[i].language == "es") {
myPlayer.currentAudioStreamList().switchIndex(i);
break; }
});

47. Localization Reach audiences all over the world
Localize player UI and error messages
Sample
var myOptions = {
"nativeControlsForTouch": false,
autoplay: true,
controls: true,
width: "640",
height: "400",
poster: "[poster uri]",
language: "es" };
myPlayer.src([{ src: "[src uri]", type: "application/vnd.ms-sstr+xml" }]);

48. Analytics hooks AMP uses standard HTML5 eventing model
Listen to events via addEventListener API and send to analytics backend
Sample
myPlayer.addEventListener("play", function(){
//send event to analytics server backend
});
myPlayer.addEventListener("error", function(){
var currentTime = Math.round(myPlayer.currentTime());
var errorHexCode = myPlayer.error().code.toString(16);
Var errorMessage = myPlayer.error().message;
//send error with error code event to analytics server backend

49. Player analytics Solution based on Application Insights and Power BI
Demographics: Understand who your users are and where they come from
Engagement: Understand what is your most popular content and how long people are watching it
Quality of Experience (QoE): Shows the streaming experience of viewers, determining abandonment rates due to poor quality
