Can anyone please help with accessing box from vb.net.  I am having a heck of a time figuring it out after researching for days.

 

Thanks

A couple of questions:

  • What are you trying to build?
  • Have you tried installed our .NET SDK

Thanks,

I have installed the .net sdk v2.core.

I am trying to get video info for .mp4 files by using a direct download URL with ffprobe so that I don’t have to download the whole files to get the info.

Also, I am going to need to create folders as well.

Thank you for any info you can provide.  All of the stuff I am finding online seems to refer to BoxConfig method which doesn’t appear in my sdk.

Hi, what kind of info are you looking to get out of the MP4 file?

Duration, video codec, video bitrate, audio codec, audio bitrate.

That is what I am currently using ffprobe for, but it takes a very long time using boxdrive for many files.
