Mediasite Powershell Module
The module is generated using: ModuleCreator.ps1
It gets the metadata for the Mediasite Api from /api/v1/$metadata on the Mediasite server and then generates functions for each of the available Resources (eg. Recorders, Presentations and Home). Each resource supports the GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE verbs for routes that support it (GET is the default if not specified). Sub routes are handled by arguments passed to the resource function. For example Folders supports the arguments UpdatePermissions, UpdateOwner and DeleteFolder.

The module will need a authentication xml file when loaded. The file contains the Mediasite api key (sfapikey), the uri for the server (uri) and either a basic auth(authorization) or ticket(MediasiteApplicationTicket). If it isn't supplied it will prompt for the required info and allow you to save it to a xml file. There are also some examples of the auth file in examples. The prompt generated file with a ticket will encrypt the ticket under the "SecMediasiteApplicationTicketTxt" entry. The credentials should only work on the computer and computer user the the ticket was originally created under.
Loading example:
PS C:\> cd .\devel\mediasiteps
