Currently this provides tools to check that the format of a media file complies with the Cloud's requirements, in advance of uploading it. This is particularly useful for media files that are encrypted as the Cloud cannot reject encrypted files that are incompatible on upload.

Cloud Utilities Library

The Cloud Utilities class library contains the following utility classes:

  FileFormatValidator - validates media file data for use on Aculab Cloud. Use to check .wav or .tif file contents. Can be used to validate encrypted or non-encrypted file data.

An xml documentation file for the library is included.

Cloud Utilities Library Client Samples

Along with the library are included the following client samples:

CheckFileFormat

A stand-alone console application that validates encrypted and non-encrypted .wav and .tif files using the FileFormatValidator class.

Usage:

  CheckFileFormat [-k decryptionkeyfilename -i decryptionivfilename] filename

Where:

  filename = the name of the file to check - either a .wav or .tif file.

  If the file is AES encrypted then must supply the decryption data:

    decryptionkeyfilename = the name of the binary file containing the decryption key for the file to check

    decryptionivfilename = the name of the binary file containing the decryption initialisation vector for the file to check

Examples:

  CheckFileFormat WelcomeMsg.wav
  CheckFileFormat FirstPage.tif
  CheckFileFormat -k EncryptedMsgKey.dat -i EncryptedMsgIV.dat EncryptedMsg.wav
  CheckFileFormat -k EncryptedPageKey.dat -i EncryptedPageIV.dat EncryptedPage.tif
