The default live streaming endpoint doesn't start and I can't stop or cancel. The only way to get out of it is to delete the entire resource group. I did it and tried again with the same results. I added 1 streaming unit and enabled the CDN before trying to start it the second time. Any idea what's the problem and/or how to make the end point start properly?
@Danny F had his answer deleted, but he was right on the money.
Azure Media Service's streaming endpoints will hang on "Starting" for several minutes then stop if you've specified a CDN, but have not created the accompanying eligible CDN endpoint.
Additionally, by default, the default streaming endpoint is created with a Verizon CDN type which are not available in the "Free Trial"
To solve the problem either:
Still, at the end of 2019, this issue persists (using media services v3). If you follow the Azure Media Services tutorial, in the last step, you are supposed to create a streaming endpoint with default name, however, if you start it - via a portal or via code -
await client.StreamingEndpoints.StartAsync(resourceGroupName, accountName, DefaultStreamingEndpointName);
it's stucked on Starting status and then stopped, so your code still awaits.
I don't know the reason for this (IMO buggy) behavior, nevertheless, I've found a solution.
In the portal just go to your Media service > Streaming endpoints, add the new streaming endpoint with new name e.g. implicit, run it (via portal or API) and use this new one.
