HTML5 Video Rendering on ASP.net MVC5 website - azure

I have a bit of a problem, I dont know why but I cant render video files on my site.
I made a project where my Videos are inside my asset folder, and it is called by a video tag.
It works on localhost, there are no problems but when I publish it
The images work but the video does not play.
Then I Tried Blob Storage, using Azure Storage Explorer I uploaded my video files in a public Blob. But same thing, it does not load but I can download the video file (I dont get this part)
Lastly I use Media Service which works good but the problem is, the Azure Manager of Media Service sucks, I need to upload tons of video and the UX in Azure does not help at all. there is no batch uploading or what so ever and I need to publish one by one.
So I made a code for it (Upload -> Encode -> Publish) but my biggest problem now is Upload.
The part where I will upload my IassetFile
assetFile.Upload(uploadFilePath);
This always fail with 100mb++ Files, but if it is 20mb++ it works ok.
I'm quite a bind, I dont know anymore what to do.
Can anyone give suggestion on how Can I proceed with this problem, the best case is that
Is there a configuration in azure website where I can activate so I can play videos?

You can convert video files you have already uploaded into blob storage into media services assets. The guidance from Microsoft on how to do this is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj933290.aspx
You should also be able to leverage the raw MP4 blob that is produced as the baseline media asset if you don't wish to utilise smooth streaming or similar services. This asset has a long URL with a SAS access key.

Protect audio from being downloaded from S3 storage

There is a database of audio files that will be stored in the S3 storage. The functionality of the site implies their playback, but not downloading. What can I do so that the file can't be downloaded just by getting a link to it from inspect browser.
The backend is written with Django REST API, the frontend with Nuxt.
I would be grateful for help in the direction of thought.
Now some advanced users can get a link directly to the audio file and download it, although only the playback functionality of the site is shown. This is possible by using inspect(F12) and further tracking the change of content on the page when you click on the "play" button.

The playback of a .wmv video is balky on SharePoint Online; it stops and starts. Can I fix it?

To discover all my options for playing a .wmv video on my SharePoint Online site,. I configured 1) a Hero web part, 2) a Quick Links web part set up in several different ways, and 3) a File-Viewer web part. It obviously doesn't matter which web part I use, because in ALL cases, the video stops and starts during playback. The actual .wmv is stored in the Site Assets folder for the page on which the web parts are configured.
Do others have this problem?
What can I do to fix it?
Should I be using a different video format like MOV or AVI or something else?
Should I have stored the .wmv somewhere else?
To answer your questions:
Per my test, I could not reproduce your issue.
Since videos stored in Microsoft 365 are based on Microsoft Stream service, and while Stream supports many formats, not all of them are accessible (for example: .wmv). For the most accessible video, use the .mp4 format.
No need to store video files to somewhere else.

How to download file directly to aws storage using lambda

im working on integrating zoom into my application and im stuck at a certain point.
So basically i want to get the zoom recordings of a user and download it into my aws s3 bucket.

How can I test FairPlay encrypted streaming urls in Azure Media Player?

I know testing this on iOS device is an option but I want to make sure before I get to that the encrpytion config is good so I don't run into any issues.

Video playing issue in windows azure web site

This is the first time I am working with Azure website. I have successfully deployed my website into Azure website cloud hosting space. Everything is working pretty fine, and as desired. But I am facing issues in my video page. Am providing 2 urls, hosted in the same location.
http://masan.azurewebsites.net/video/demo.html
http://masan.azurewebsites.net/video/demo1.html
First video is playing (.mp4), after adding the necessary mimeMap tag in my web.configfile. First demo.html contains a video being called from an external url.
Second video in demo1.html (.mp4) contain video hosted in the same server as the page, which is not playing.
Could somebody please guide me, what should I do to make my second page to also start playing the .mp4 video
Thank you
Sorry to bother you all, there was no issue only, since the video in demo1.html was of wrong format, it was not playing.
So the answer to the above is: Just need to add the mimeMap tag in web.config, will work seamlessly. Thank you.
