I'm creating a custom page(Asp.net MVC solution) using core services to create a component. And that component has Image and Video field. I need to get digital assets from Media Manager and then create component. I'm able to access media manager assets but only getting "Direct Link" from it. But to store component in CMS, i will need ECL link of those assets. so can anyone help me in how can i get ECL link for selected media manager item so it can be stored in multimedia field in component?

  • Are you using the ECL-based Media Manager connector from SDL? Doesn't sound like you are

    Your question/need require more clarity. ECL is used to expose external media to CMS. how come core service is used to create media in external application? what you want to achieve? why you need ECL link?
