Encoding - VOD

### Question

I am trying to encode video through Azure blob storage, using the same for input and output.  
Bitmovin was able to Create+Queue+Download+Analysis this encoding but failed at the encoding stage.

Below is the code I am using, I am not able to identify the exact error as there is no error description provided on dashboard.  
Can you please suggest how I can resolve this issue and if there is any place I can see error logs for error details?  
Encoding id: 8654a851-541f-4495-b0e4-232bc9df171a

const encoding = await bitmovinApi.encoding.encodings.create({  
name: `Encoding for ${cdnUrl}`  
});

```
    const input = await bitmovinApi.encoding.inputs.azure.create({
        name: 'Azure Input',
        accountName: azureStorageAccountName,
        container: azureContainerName,
        accountKey: azureAccessKey,
        host: cdnUrl
    });

    const output = await bitmovinApi.encoding.outputs.azure.create({
        name: 'Azure Output',
        accountName: azureStorageAccountName,
        container: azureContainerName,
        accountKey: azureAccessKey
    });

    // const output = await bitmovinApi.encoding.outputs.azure.get(
    // 'ce3182a3-5ba6-4b8a-b7a3-f453097cb01b'
    // );

    const videoStreamPromises = bitrates.map(async bitrate => {
        const videoConfig = await bitmovinApi.encoding.configurations.video.h264.create({
            name: `H264 Configuration ${bitrate.name}`,
            bitrate: bitrate.videoBitrate,
            height: bitrate.height,
            rate: 30.0,
            profile: 'MAIN'
        });

        const videoStream = await bitmovinApi.encoding.encodings.streams.create(encoding.id, {
            inputStreams: [{
                inputId: input.id,
                inputPath: cdnUrl,
                selectionMode: 'AUTO'
            }],
            codecConfigId: videoConfig.id,
            outputs: [{
                outputId: output.id,
                outputPath: `${bitrate.name}/video`,
                acl: [{ permission: 'PUBLIC_READ' }]
            }]
        });

        console.log(`Video stream created: ${videoStream.id}`);
    });

    const audioStreamPromises = bitrates.map(async bitrate => {
        const audioConfig = await bitmovinApi.encoding.configurations.audio.aac.create({
            name: `AAC Configuration ${bitrate.name}`,
            bitrate: bitrate.audioBitrate,
            rate: 48000
        });

        const audioStream = await bitmovinApi.encoding.encodings.streams.create(encoding.id, {
            inputStreams: [{
                inputId: input.id,
                inputPath: cdnUrl,
                selectionMode: 'AUTO'
            }],
            codecConfigId: audioConfig.id,
            outputs: [{
                outputId: output.id,
                outputPath: `${bitrate.name}/audio`,
                acl: [{ permission: 'PUBLIC_READ' }]
            }]
        });

        console.log(`Audio stream created: ${audioStream.id}`);
    });

    await Promise.all([...videoStreamPromises, ...audioStreamPromises]);

    await bitmovinApi.encoding.encodings.start(encoding.id);

    await waitForEncodingToFinish(encoding.id);

```

Hi,  
It seems like you created some streams, but no muxing (encapsulation format).  
Encoding with no muxing is not possible, since the output stream needs to be encapsulated into a container.

Please let me know in case you have any questions.
