Hi,

I am trying to create a custom controller for handling media. I created a component with a custom route. My problem is that when I use a surface controller type controller, it gives the following error :

[Exception: Failed to create an instance of controller type UmbracoMediaProtect.MediaProtect.Controllers.MediaProtectController (see inner exception).]

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

When I use a controller of the type "Controler" the error does not occur but I want to add a [MemberAuthorize] attribute to the controller.

Composer

[RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)]
public class MediaProtectComposer : IUserComposer
{
    public void Compose(Composition composition)
    {
        composition.Register<MediaProtectController>(Lifetime.Request);
        composition.Components().Append<MediaProtectComponent>();
    }
}

Component

public class MediaProtectComponent : IComponent
{

    public void Initialize()
    {
        RouteTable.Routes.RouteExistingFiles = true;
        RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute(
            "MediaProtect",
            "media/{id}/{file}",
            new
            {
                controller = "MediaProtect",
                action = "Index",
                id = UrlParameter.Optional,
                file = UrlParameter.Optional
            }
        );
    }

    public void Terminate()
    {

    }

}

Controller [MemberAuthorize] public class MediaProtectController : Controller {

    public ActionResult Index(string id, string file)
    {
        string mediaPath = $"/media/{id}/{file}";
        var media = Current.Services.MediaService.GetMediaByPath(mediaPath);

        if (media == null)
        {
            return HttpNotFound();
        }

        var fileStream = VirtualPathProvider.OpenFile(mediaPath);
        return new FileStreamResult(fileStream, MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(file));

    }

}

Is it not possible to use a Surfacecontroller in combination with RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute?

Best regards,
