I am uploading video(.wmv) on azure programmatically .I am getting error
"Windows Azure Media Encoder detected media errors on source videoname.wmv:File type isn't supported" and "ErrorExecutingTaskUnsupportedFormat"
To the close on this question, Azure Media Services supports WMV as input format - very likely you are not uploading file correctly.The following quickstart uses Azure Media Services .NET SDK Extensions to upload a wmv file and encode it to H264 adaptive bitrate MP4 set.

How can I get the authenticationToken for azure media player?
I tried but it's not working
See the following basic Streaming with DRM example for Typescript/Javascript SDK

We're planning to build a Xamarin app, where you can watch some videos that are hosted on microsoft Azure. Does the azure blob storage support streaming to my mobile app or can i only download the files?
The video urls shouldn't be exposed to public, as mentioned here.
Has anybody experience in this? I didn't find any reliable infos on the web.
Very important thing here - streaming and live-streaming. If you would like to just upload video files to Azur Blob and access them in the mobile app this is possible. I did tests with .mp4 (I did not test other formats) files and once they were uploaded I could play them in the mobile app without any problems.
You do not have to worry about the access too - you can secure URLs with Shared Access Signature or Storage Account Key.
You can read more about it below (Data Plane Security):

My scenario is, we want to build mobile Apps (iOS, Android and Windows,mac) which should be able to play protected DRM content as offline play the protected content which was downloaded previously. What are our options with Windows Azure media?
I would like to use offline play back for playready enabled azure media services. Is it still possible or not? please advise.Thanks
This is possible but it is not a supported scenario for Azure Media Services. we only offer DRM solution for online streaming at the moment.

Azure Media Services now supports offline playback scenarios. Offline Fairplay via Apple offline HLS is supported. AMS also provides persistent PlayReady and Widevine licenses for offline playback.
I'm using a wordpress template and have multiple media uploaders. When they embedd/insert their content from the media library, they should only be able to see and embedd their uploaded content. My goal is to host the website in Azure and also use its media services for video content. Is there an elegant frontend way with wich users can upload their content an reembedd it after transcoding?
I think that there is no plugin that supports directly Azure Media Services encoding workflows in WordPress.
Maybe you can do it in a few steps :
Use the WordPress Azure Storage plugins to upload your files : https://wordpress.org/plugins/windows-azure-storage/
Use an Azure WebJob to trigger encoding as soon as a file is uploaded in the storage : https://github.com/Azure/azure-content/blob/master/articles/app-service-web/websites-dotnet-webjobs-sdk-storage-blobs-how-to.md and https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/media-services-dotnet-encode-asset/
Display the video on your site, using Azure Media Player : http://amsplayer.azurewebsites.net/
Hope this helps,

I have a set of videos which I have uploaded via Azure Media Explorer and some via the .NET SDK (Azure Media Services Extensions) in a custom application. I have encoded all with the Media Encoder Standard and the "H264 Multiple Bitrate 720p" preset.
The videos are recordings from a Kinect Sensor (BGRA) and transcoded with ffmpeg to H.264 Base.
When I try to play the videos from the Azure Media Player or from within the Azure Media Services Content Page I get an error message.
Azure Media Player (from my ASP.NET MVC View) gets a "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)" back from AMS and shows a 0x020200193 error message in the player.
The Azure Media Services Playback from within the Portal throws the following error in the JavaScript console:
"VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:4 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED)" and shows:
The video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported
If I try to play the samples from the http://amsplayer.azurewebsites.net/ websites they all work. If I try to play my videos on the same websites I get an error message as well.
If I browse to the manifest (http://{myaccountname}.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx}/{xxxx}.ism/Manifest(format=mpd-time-csf))
I get the following XML response:
<serverError>
<status>403</status>
<subStatus>1000</subStatus>
..
</serverError>
I have tried to change the Storage Container Access (Private, Public Container, and Public Blob), the problem persists.
I have tried to create a completely new Azure Media Service Account and Storage Account - same problem.
The strange detail that puzzles me is that I downloaded, built, and ran this sample https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/media-services-dotnet-encode-with-media-encoder-standard/ on the exact same AMS account / Storage Account and the same AMP instance the video plays correctly, and so does the AMS Playback from within the portal.
How do I troubleshoot this? Is this an authentication issue or is this in fact a media format problem? The fact that the BigBuckBunny.mp4 video from the above mentioned article plays from the same account with the same configuration makes me think this is a format issue?
