hi -
i run a web application on Azure (Azure Web site, implemented using .net MVC), which among other things shows some videos to our customers. For that end i use streaming from an Azure Media service, and allocate a fixed streaming unit (endpoint).
The video option is used sporadically, a few dozen times a month. The rest of the time the service is idle.
We pay for an endpoint for a full month, while actually using it for a few hours.
I'm looking for a method to programmatically turn off / on the streaming end-point (i.e. turn it off when idle for a time, and turn it on again on demand).
Is this even possible using Azure Media Services?
