title: Azure media player How to get the source url for the player
body: <p>I have an azure media services account with some uploaded videos, but these videos only play on the browser with some additional parameters like these (?sv=2017-04-17&amp;sr=c&amp;sig=QMSr...) something like authentication keys.
  I want a generic permanent progressive video URL that can be played anytime, I tried to use the azure media player with my video URLs with .ism/manifest and .mp4 but both couldn't be played 
  exp: </p>
  
  <pre><code>https://&lt;MY_BLOBSTORAGE_ACCOUNT&gt;.blob.core.windows.net/&lt;Asset-ID&gt;/Video_FILE_NAME&gt;.ism/manifest
  
  https://&lt;MY_BLOBSTORAGE_ACCOUNT&gt;.blob.core.windows.net/&lt;Asset-ID&gt;/&lt;Video_FILE_NAME&gt;_1280x720_AACAudio.mp4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried the player from this official microsoft documentation: 
  <a href="http://amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/docs/index.html#full-setup-of-azure-media-player" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/docs/index.html#full-setup-of-azure-media-player</a></p>
  
  <p>Also note that the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/bs-latn-ba/azure/media-services/latest/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Azure Media Services V3</a> documentation &amp; the community of the ams itself is very poor and weak in terms of explaining the steps for programmatically getting the video urls for the player.</p>
