Azure Media Services v3 CreateEvent Hangs

Question

I am using the example code from The Azure GitHub page . I've been messing with it for a few hours, sometimes the LiveEvent.Create works pretty instantly, sometimes it just hangs. Right now its going on 50 minutes. Can someone help with what i'm doing wrong? Is there a way to figure out why this is hanging? If we are using this in a live production, not having reliable start times is a real problem. This is the line it fails on:

liveEvent = client.LiveEvents.Create(config.ResourceGroup, config.AccountName, liveEventName, liveEvent, autoStart:true);

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

The problem was found to be specific to the region (East US 2), where the necessary resources had not been configured correctly. A hotfix has been deployed to fix it, and you should be able to create and use LiveEvents in this region.
