Azure Blob Storage video works in old account not new one

Question

Hi, I'm storing mp4 video on azure blob storage, and I can play it on Android fine using https. I created a new azure function (v3) storage, and I can't play it. Old storage account works, new one doesn't.

Same code, same video.
File type is Block Blob video/mp4
Both storage are V1

In logcat, I see this error for the new storage when trying to play

W/MediaPlayer: Couldn't open https://newxx.blob.core.windows.net/xx/xx.mp4: java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: https://newxx.blob.core.windows.net/xx/xx.mp4  

I check azure portal, settings are default and all the same. What else could it be?

Answer 1

So actually , one video file actually works from the new storage. The rest of them don't . All of them play fine from the old storage.

This looks similar to the issues that was submitted here. Can you try the workaround using Set Blob Service Properties to set DefaultServiceVersion = "2011-08-18"? Also can you see if this works in a v2 storage account?

Before I do the upgrade, I use this to get the DefaultService version to check

 var credentials = new StorageCredentials        (storageAccountName, accessKey);
 var account     = new CloudStorageAccount       (credentials, true);
 var client      = account.CreateCloudBlobClient ();
 var properties  = client.GetServiceProperties   ();

 Console.WriteLine ($"DefaultServiceVersion:{properties.DefaultServiceVersion}");

The old storage returns 2018-03-28
The new one returns empty string

I updated to latest Storage SDK, same result, I posted a github issue https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/issues/16664
