Learn how to connect your RMS account to Azure Media Services Explorer (AMSE). The AMSE for RMS allows you to access and manage your media assets via the same convenient tool you’ve used previously with AMS (Azure Media Services v3 API).
Before you begin
Install the Azure Media Services Explorer for RMS
Because Ravnur Media Services is built using the AMS API, it works natively with the AMSE. Ravnur has modified the AMSE to connect to your RMS account. After the retirement of AMS, Ravnur will maintain this tool for managing your RMS account.
Get your RMS account credentials
The AMSE for RMS requires your RMS account credentials to connect. Access the API credentials by clicking the API Access within the RMS Console interface. This will launch a pop up window with all the necessary credentials, including:
- RMS Subscription ID;
- RMS Resource Group Name;
- RMS Account Name;
- RMS API Endpoint;
- RMS API Key.
Copy this data to use in step 4.
Connect to your RMS account with the AMSE for RMS
1. Open Azure Media Service Explorer on your PC.
2. Select Pick-up Ravnur account…
3. Select the appropriate environment that corresponds to the Azure environment where RMS is deployed.
4. When the pop-up appears, paste the credentials you copied earlier and click Save.
5. Click on Connect in the AMSE main menu and authenticate using your Microsoft Entra account credentials.
All users connecting to the same RMS account in AMSE for RMS have access to the same list of saved transforms and the same job history. The data is tied to the RMS account, not to individual users. Thus, saved records in the account are available to anyone who connects to it.
You've successfully connected your RMS account to AMSE. Now, you can manage your media assets, develop with Media Services, or test Media Services - all without writing any code.
