    Media service download image from web

    Hi there forum.

    I am trying to download and create media images with Media Services. It's a really simple script. But the problem is that umbraco cant see a file of the data I am getting. I have a legit image from the stream. But umbraco returns:

    The best overloaded method match for 'Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentBase.SetPropertyValue(string, string)' has some invalid arguments

    My code is:

    HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"https://img.youtube.com/vi/q7Uv_e2fkvo/hqdefault.jpg");
   HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
   Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
   Image img = Image.FromStream(stream); 


   var media = Services.MediaService.CreateMedia("youtubepreview", 2634, "Image");
   media.SetValue("umbracoFile", img);
   Services.MediaService.Save(media);
   stream.Close();

    Does anyone know why Umbraco cant see the file?

    //Cheers Peter

    You are using the setvalue that sets the path of the file, but you have the actual file at hand. try with this code:

    var media = Services.MediaService.CreateMedia("youtubepreview", 2634, "Image");
media.SetValue("umbracoFile", "hqdefault.jpg", stream);
Services.MediaService.Save(media);
stream.Close();

    Hi Alessandro, thanks for helping me out. It's not really working. Now I get an error:

    Parameter is not valid.

    Hi there. Thanks for putting me on the right track. I found another way to fetch the image. It's working now. :-)

     var mediaService = Services.MediaService;
   using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
   {
    Stream s = client.OpenRead("http://img.youtube.com/vi/q7Uv_e2fkvo/hqdefault.jpg");
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
     s.CopyTo(ms);
     var mediaImage = mediaService.CreateMedia("hqdefault", 2634, "Image");
     mediaImage.SetValue("umbracoFile", "hqdefault.jpg", ms);
     mediaService.Save(mediaImage);
    }
   }
