    is not a valid udi - when saving media using content service

    The following code successfully creates a node that references a media item. Everything looks as in intended in the back-office. However, in my view I get the following exception.

    String "5317" is not a valid udi.

    if I save and published each node via the back-office, then the view renders as expected. I recall that I need to flush the cached. What am i doing wrong here?

            private void Save()
        {
            var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
            var content = contentService.CreateContent("testnode", 1234, "docType");
    
    
            content.SetValue("summary", "hello world");
    
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(mediaUrl))
            {
                var media = CreateMedia(tweet, _twitterMedia.Id, mediaUrl);
                if (media != null)
                {
                    content.SetValue("image", media.Id);
                }
            }
    
            contentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(content, 0, false);
        }
    
        private Umbraco.Core.Models.IMedia CreateMedia(int mediaId, string mediaUrl)
        {
            var mediaService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MediaService;
            var request = WebRequest.Create(mediaUrl);
            var webResponse = request.GetResponse();
            var responseStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();
            Umbraco.Core.Models.IMedia media = null;
            if (responseStream != null)
            {
                var originalImage = new Bitmap(responseStream);
                var path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/TempImage/test.jpg");
                originalImage.Save(path, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open))
                {
                    var fileName = fileStream.Name;
                    var mediaImage = mediaService.CreateMedia(tweet.Id.ToString(), mediaId, "image");
                    mediaImage.SetValue("umbracoFile", fileName, fileStream);
                    mediaService.Save(mediaImage);                    
                    responseStream.Dispose();
                    webResponse.Dispose();
                    originalImage.Dispose();
                    media = mediaService.GetById(mediaImage.Id);
                    mediaService.RebuildXmlStructures(mediaImage.Id);
                }
    
            }
            return media;
        }

    you must use media.key to get a UDI

    I think the error about the UDI is a red herring. As the item is saved to the media library. I've tried using media.Key but this throws an exception. I feel the answer lies in rebuilding the cache or republishing via the content service.

    I'm sorry, the code i use is var media = ms.GetById(id); if (media != null) { resave = true; //(" --> umb://media/" + media .Key) return "umb://media/" + media .Key.ToString().Replace("-", ""); }

    We use this in our upgrade script from old obsolete pickers to the new version.

    Thanks Johan. That's it!

    // media from ContentService

     if (media != null)
                        {
                            var mediaKey = "umb://media/" + media.Key.ToString().Replace("-", "");
                            content.SetValue("image", mediaKey);
                        }

    The "proper" way to do this (without concatenating and escaping strings would be):

    var udi = Udi.Create(Constants.UdiEntityType.Media, media.Key);
    
    content.SetValue("image", udi.ToString());
    

    (The Constants class is in Umbraco.Core namespace).

    Thank you, this fixed the issue where the image would not show up on the media picker in the back end.

    I think you answer must be set as correct!

    Thanks, Dan

    Oh, by the way for others, there is an other way to get an UDI:

    // IMedia extension method
    media.GetUdi()
