Create Asset from a blob - StartCopyFromBlobAsync Method not found

[vinotheswaramoorthy]

While i trying to create an asset in azure media service from my blob storage, it throws below error.

Method not found: 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1<System.String> Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob.CloudBlockBlob.StartCopyFromBlobAsync(Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob.CloudBlockBlob, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.AccessCondition, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.AccessCondition, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob.BlobRequestOptions, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.OperationContext, System.Threading.CancellationToken)'.

I think StartCopyFromBlobAsync() method is deprecated.
How can i create a asset from blob?
Is there any alternate?
Thanks in advance.

Think this relates to issue #38
I made a pull request for a fix but waiting on someone to respond to it.

Thanks @Nitro52 , we will review this quickly. Sorry, lots of summer vacations and we are just getting back to these.

@johndeu that would be great, i would love to be able to use an official nuget build again.

@johndeu Any update on this, I would like to use the official nuget also :)

I got this error too. I'm just testing out Azure Media Services and thought that uploading a file to a blob and loading a blob to media services should be simple. Turns out I was wrong. After wading through the docs and samples, context.Assets.CreateFromBlob seemed exactly what I was looking for. Isn't it a pretty common use case - uploading files from browser to blob storage directly (they have a handy JS sdk for that and it worked easily) and then ingest those to Media Services?

@johndeu any update on this? Got the same problem. Want to use IAsset.Copy(), with latest Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage, but cannot because of the exception.

Also official example (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/media-services-copying-existing-blob) on copying assets uses old version of Storage (I think 4.x) and when it is updated to latest would throw an error. Would be nice to update also example project, when it it's fixed. Thanks.

Thanks for pointing to the old docs example. We are going to be cleaning a lot of those up now that we transitioned to AAD support as well.
I'll double check on the Nuget issue again.

@jasomino which package version are you using? Could you please give the newer package 4.1.0.1 a try?

[jasomimo]

@sanbhatt we are using windowsazure.mediaservices.extensions 4.0.0.4. I tried to update to 4.1.0.1, but it broke some other stuff in our solution. Need to work around that. Thanks for pointing out to newer version.
