Livestreaming: Download from Blob?

gunnarschaefer 1

Good Day Guys,

I just had an livestream with Microsoft Azure - as we're having some post-edit struggle, i wanted to download the Stream from the Blob or restream it from a Blob to an encoder and download it afterwards.

Is this possible? All i see are just 400 kb .mp4 files which are not playable at all?

Cheers -G

Hi,

Similar query here:

Also something here might help:

Azure Media Services documentation

Best regards,

@LeonLaude Good Day Leon,
The first link doesn‘t match my enquiry at all.

My Issue is the following: I ingested an rtmp link into an livestream, which is per default temporarily cached/stored into an blob and can‘t be deactivated. The stored files are around 20-30 Folders with 200-300 Files approx. - no file can be yet used nor do i see a manifest.
In the first query, the single file uploaded into the blob can already be played.

Now i try to identify if the blob „cache“ for livestream can be used or is completely useless for me.

The live archive is basically a collection of fragments that the encoder generated. To create a MP4 out of them you can run a subclipping job as per https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/sub-clipping-and-live-archive-extraction-with-media-encoder-standard/
