CreateAssetAsync() - how to upload video from a local file

[radek7210]

Hello,

I am trying to create a new video asset from a local video file. The CreateAssetAsync() method's CreatesAssetRequest has the Url field, but I am not able to figure out how to upload a local file.

Example code:

using mux = Mux.Csharp.Sdk.Client;

mux.Configuration config = new();
config.BasePath = "https://api.mux.com";
config.Username = "9074...";
config.Password = "XtR....";

var api = new AssetsApi(config);
var request = new CreateAssetRequest
{
	Test = true,
	PlaybackPolicy = new List<PlaybackPolicy> { PlaybackPolicy.Signed },
	Input = new List<InputSettings> { new InputSettings {
	Type = InputSettings.TypeEnum.Video, 

	//Url = @"c:\Users\Radek\Desktop\test AT media\sample-mp4-file-small.mp4"
	//Url = "file:///c:/Users/Radek/Desktop/test AT media/sample-mp4-file-small.mp4"

	----> how should I specify a local file here????
	} }
};

AssetResponse response = await api.CreateAssetAsync(request);
return response ?? throw new Exception("MUX API CreateAssetAsync did not return any data");

I can see that the Post<T> method in ApiClient.cs supports posting files via the RequestOptions parameter, however the CreateAssetAsync() method does not contain any code to pass the filestream to the RequestOptions.Data property.

Can you suggest what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

R.
