The Azure Media Services Explorer (AMSE), an open source project from Microsoft, is a Windows desktop application that allows users to work with Azure Media Services for uploading, encoding and streaming media assets. It connects to Azure Media Services using the AMS v3 API, which means that it can natively connect to Ravnur Media Services. Now that Microsoft has retired AMS, Ravnur has forked the library and maintains a version that works with RMS, which we call AMSE for RMS. Using the AMSE for RMS, you can:
- upload assets
- download encoded assets
- encode assets using standard or custom transforms
- protect assets using AES and DRM encryption
- stream VOD and live content.
The AMSE for RMS can be downloaded from Ravnur's GitHub: https://github.com/Ravnur-Inc/Azure-Media-Services-Explorer/releases

The prerequisites are identical to the original AMSE.
