If you set this default version to “2011-08-18” then you will be able to do partial and pause\/resume downloads on blob objects.<\/strong> This is exactly what we were looking for !<\/p>\nTo do this, th only way I found was to create a little .NET program, reference the Azure SDK (thank you Nuget) and call the SetServiceProperties with the correct arguments.<\/p>\n
[csharp]
\nstring accountName = "your account Name";
\nstring accountKey = "your account key";
\nvar cloudStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount
\n .Parse(string.Format(
\n "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName={0};AccountKey={1}"
\n , accountName, accountKey));<\/p>\n
CloudBlobClient client = cloudStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();<\/p>\n
var prp = client.GetServiceProperties();
\nclient.SetServiceProperties(new ServiceProperties()
\n {
\n DefaultServiceVersion = "2011-08-18",
\n Logging = prp.Logging,
\n Metrics = prp.Metrics<\/p>\n
});<\/p>\n
[\/csharp]<\/p>\n
Now you just have to use the uri of the video in your XAML UI ( or with a video tag) :
\n[xml]
\n<playerFramework:MediaPlayer Source="{Binding VideoUri}"
\n PosterSource="\/Assets\/Images\/videoPoster.png"
\n AutoPlay="False"
\n AutoLoad="False" \/>

Videos are everywhere and specially in Windows 8 app. Using a Windows Azure’s blob to store them is a good solution and this what we choose in on of the app we build in my company (Infinite Square<\/a>). <\/p>\n
