AppendVideoMedia() Throws error

[saleembaigmirza]

Hi Team,

I am getting error while doing ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendVideoMedia(myfileBloburl, new RectangleF(505,253,240,140)); And the error is as below:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. : 'C:\\<solutionpath>\\<myfileBloburl>'


Thanks in advance for your support.
Here is my code.

string blobFileUrl = bloburl (Eg: http://dummyrul.com//dummyFolder//dummyVideo.mp4)

Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromStream(streamUrl, FileFormat.Pptx2013);
ISlide slide = ppt.Slides[0];
ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendVideoMedia(blobFileUrl, new RectangleF(505,253,240,140));

- Here, when calling .AppendVideoMedia method, i'm getting error as 'The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. : 'C:\\<solutionpath>\\<destinationPath>'

By mistake, i posted this in Spire.PDF blog.
As it is related to Spire.Presentation, so i posted the same in Spire.Presenstation blog as well. Please help me out if there is any solution for the above query.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Sorry that our Spire.Presentation supports appending local video files, but does not support appending online video files.
Please download your video file first, and then use our Spire.Presentation to append it to the PPT file, like the code below.

Code: Select all

            string blobFileUrl = "http://dummyrul.com//dummyFolder//dummyVideo.mp4";
            string localPath = "video.mp4";
            WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
            webClient.DownloadFile(blobFileUrl, localPath);
            Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
            ppt.LoadFromStream(streamUrl, FileFormat.Pptx2013);
            ISlide slide = ppt.Slides[0];
            ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendVideoMedia(localPath, new RectangleF(505, 253, 240, 140));
            ppt.SaveToFile("result.pptx",FileFormat.Pptx2013);

Sincerely,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your quick response.

As our application is hosted in Azure App services, So, in Production it doesn't allow me to add/edit files in project folder at run time dynamically.
Hence i cant create a local folder path at run time.

Any other suggestions/help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.
Sorry that our Spire.Presentation currently only supports adding local video files. But we will consider adding a method “public IAudio AppendVideoMedia(Stream stream, RectangleF rectangle);” to support appending video via stream. Then you can add the video like the following code. Once it is implemented, we will let you know.

Code: Select all

            WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
            byte[] bytes = webClient.DownloadData(blobFileUrl);
            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);

            Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
            ppt.LoadFromFile("test.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);
            ISlide slide = ppt.Slides[0];

            //public IAudio AppendVideoMedia(Stream stream, RectangleF rectangle);
            ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendVideoMedia(stream, new RectangleF(505, 253, 240, 140));
            ppt.SaveToFile("result.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);

Hey Brian,

Sorry, until i manually check the status of this ticket, i wont be able to know that there is a new update provided by you.

So, Brian,
I would like to know, does this feature available in Free.Spire.presentation library. As i can see 4.11.0 version.
Happy to hear from you.

[Brian.Li]

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry that our Free.Spire.presentation does not support this new feature at the moment. And we only upgrade the free version irregularly. Thus, we recommend you try with our latest commercial version. And we are willing to provide a temporary license (one month free) to help you evaluate our commercial version better and remove the warning message. If interested, please contact our sales team (sales@e-iceblue.com) to get it.

If there are any questions, just feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
Brian
