Im trying to get a single video using C#. Im using the following code but Im just getting 'EntryId Not found" errors

        KalturaClient client = new KalturaClient(GetConfig());
        client.SessionService.Start(AppSettings.AdminSecret, "", KalturaSessionType.ADMIN, AppSettings.PartnerId, 86400, "");
        var test = client.MediaService.Get(videoId);

The ID is correct as its taken straight from Kaltura?

Still getting the same error with the last parameter removed.

That is what the code was in the C# Api example. Im finding the documentation to be very limited. I may be wrong (and please correct me if I am) but there is not any docs on just getting started retrieving a video, or doing simple searches etc. So all I have to go by is the example code.

However, the method Im having trouble with is the GetVideo method which doesn’t use the client.KS call.

Appreciate the help on this.

Thats great thanks!

So the client doesn’t set its own session id when you start the service?
