I need to get audio file metadata such as bitrate from files uploaded to an Azure web site. Based on this information I want to decide how to transcode the file using Azure Media Services.
I've used Shell32.dll to read properties of audio files earlier. See this post for how: Read/Write 'Extended' file properties (C#)
However when I bring the same code to Azure, I don't get any properties back. As far as I know there is no way to get this from WAMS.
How can I get the bitrate from an audio file uploaded to a website or WAMS?
