I am working on a live streaming project. In that we need to show live scenes on local screens along with broadcasting. But for this, use of encoded stream is not a good choice as encoded stream has delay which can not be use as live feed. So I got an idea to create an archive file during encoding which we can use for display on live field.

The code I am using for encoding is (I'm using Microsoft expression Encoder for encoding):

public void PushVideoToPubPoint(LiveJob job)
    {
        try
        {
            string strPublishPointUrl = new Uri("http://My_server/PushToPublishPoint/LiveSmoothStream.isml");

            // Applying the preset to the Encoding.
            if (!AddPreset())
                MessageBox.Show("Could not locate preset containing {0}, will use defaults.", GlobalVar.PresetFile);

            var format = new PushBroadcastPublishFormat();

            format.PublishingPoint = new Uri(strPublishPointUrl);

            // Sets up publishing format for file archival type
            fileName = String.Format(@"c:\Video_{0:ddMMyyyy_hhmmss}.ismv", DateTime.Now);
            var fileOut = new FileArchivePublishFormat(fileName);

            job.PublishFormats.Add(format);
            job.PublishFormats.Add(fileOut);
            job.ActivateSource(_deviceSource);

            //Sets up progress callback function
            job.Status += new EventHandler<EncodeStatusEventArgs>(OnProgress);

            //// Starts encoding
            job.StartEncoding();

            if (_deviceSource != null)
            {
                // Sets preview window to winform panel hosted by xaml window
                _deviceSource.PreviewWindow =
                    new PreviewWindow(new HandleRef(panelVideoPreview, panelVideoPreview.Handle));

                // Make this source the active one
                job.ActivateSource(_deviceSource);
            }

            // Read bytes from archived file.
            ConvertAssetFileToByteArray(fileName, job);

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Error: " + ex.Message;
            oEncodingStatus = false;
        }
    }

Here, I am using FileArchivePublishFormat to create and archive file with PushBroadcastPublishFormat. Now, I need to access "Live" this archived file for play but as this file is already in use so I can't play it directly. So, I idea what is running in my mind is to read the bytes from this file by someway. So, I am using a method ConvertAssetFileToByteArray for doing this and trying to code like this:

public static void ConvertAssetFileToByteArray(string filename, LiveJob job)
        {
            byte[] aAssetFileInBytes = null;
            try
            {
                // Create the file stream to be used
                // to read the asset file.
                using (FileStream fsAsset = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
                {
                    using (var reader = new StreamReader(fsAsset))
                    {
                        long offset=0;
                        while (job.IsCapturing)
                        {
                            // Instantiate the byte array.
                            var bytesInFile = (int)fsAsset.Length;
                            aAssetFileInBytes = new Byte[bytesInFile];
                            long bytesRead = fsAsset.Read(aAssetFileInBytes, (int) offset, bytesInFile);
                            offset = bytesInFile;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
            }
        }

But, It's still giving the error:

The process cannot access the file 'c:\Video_02082013_034400.ismv because it is being used by another process.

Somebody please take me out of this issue.

Any other idea or suggestion will also be appreciated.

Thanks.
