The following example shows how to set the name of the media library:
MediaStreamingManager mediaStreamingManager = new MediaStreamingManager();

mediaStreamingManager.SetMediaLibraryName(mediaLibraryName);

MediaStreamingManager mediaStreamingManager = new MediaStreamingManager();
mediaStreamingManager.SetMediaStreamingEnabled(true);
