streaming video by origin URL with azure media services

Question

I'm trying to make an app with Smooth Streaming. So I'm doing my app with examples like these.

In result I have many URLs. Some of them is URL for files that I encoded, they are like:

<mediaservicename>.blob.core.windows.net/asset-d66c43e8-a142-4618-8539-39a2bbb14300/BigBuckBunny_650.mp4?sv=2012-02-12&se=2013-06-23T15%3A21%3A16Z&sr=c&si=aff41a1d-6c8a-4387-8c2f-84272a776ff2&sig=8OPuwW6Kssn2EVQYwqUXkUocc7Qhf0xM62rS9aSPsMk%3D

And one of URL is like:

<mediaservicename>.origin.mediaservices.windows.net/6eca30d3-badd-4f45-bc29-264303ffe84a/BigBuckBunny_3400.ism/Manifest

When I try playing the first one on WindowsAzure portal - that's ok.

But when I'm trying to play the second one on WindowsAzure portal - there is an error "we are unable to connect to the content you've requested. We apologize for the inconvenience".

When I'm trying to play them both in my app with Silverlight they do not play as well as on smf.cloudapp.net / healthmonitor.

Maybe there are some errors in the examples on Windiws Azure site? Or what can it be?

Answer 1

The first url you copied cannot be used in a Smooth Streaming player, but the second one may be, if you have created a valid origin locator with a valid access policy.

Can you copy the code you have used to generate these URLs please ?

Hope this helps
