Azure not displaying blobs within container in Storage Account

Question

I've finally been able to upload two videos as blobs into a storage account container. I can see the blobs from the portal when I drill down into Storage > storage account name > Container > container name.

I can also see them from the CLI with the command "storage blob list".

However

When I attempt to upload the content into my Media service account - I select upload content from storage, Select the Account, then the container... and I get the erroneous message that there are no blobs

Clearly, there are - but they are not showing up. Any clues?

(see attached screen shots)

Answer 1

Did you try with Azure Media Services Explorer ? It's a very nice tool to work with Azure Media Services without any line of code !

You can download it directly from GitHub: https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Media-Services-Explorer

EDIT : ok, I think I have found why the blob list is empty. I did not saw that your two files have no extensions. I have just repro your issue with a file without extension, as you can see below:

To work with Azure Media Services encoders, your files need to have valid extensions.

Hope this helps,
