not able to create thumbnail(jpeg) from azure media storage?

I am trying to create thumbanil from azure storage after uploading a video,

so i have a xml 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Thumbnail Size="30%,*" Type="Jpeg" Filename="abc_1.jpg">
  <Time Value="0:3:19"/>
</Thumbnail>

and in my c# level cod i a creating a job 

 IAsset asset = CreateAssetAndUploadSingleFile(inputMediaFilePath,
                "My Video Thumbnail Input Asset",
                AssetCreationOptions.None);

            // Declare a new job.
            IJob job = _context.Jobs.Create("My Video Thumbnail Job");

            // Get a reference to Azure Media Video Thumbnails.
            string MediaProcessorName = "Azure Media Video Thumbnails";

            var processor = GetLatestMediaProcessorByName(MediaProcessorName);

            var ThumbnailConfig = File.ReadAllText("Thumbnail_Configuration.xml");

            // Create a task with the encoding details, using a string preset.
            ITask task = job.Tasks.AddNew("My Video Thumbnail Task",
                processor,
                configuration,
                TaskOptions.None);

but when i run the code i am getting error saying that xml is invalid, what am i doing wrong here?

Can you also please share where you found documentation that referred to the following:

// Get a reference to Azure Media Video Thumbnails.
            string MediaProcessorName = "Azure Media Video Thumbnails";

I'd like to have any documentation that you found that referenced that removed.

The code appears to be using an incorrect combination of the preset XML and the media processor. If you need to generate thumbnails at a specific timestamp, then change the media processor and the preset:

string MediaProcessorName = "Media Encoder Standard";

And in ThumbnailConfig, use the following JSON string:

{
  "Version": 1.0,
  "Codecs": [
    {
      "JpgLayers": [
        {
          "Quality": 90,
          "Type": "JpgLayer",
          "Width": "30%",
          "Height": "30%"
        }
      ],
      "Start": "00:03:19",
      "Step": "1",
      "Range": "1",
      "Type": "JpgImage"
    }
  ],
  "Outputs": [
    {
     "FileName": "abc_{Index}{Extension}",
      "Format": {
        "Type": "JpgFormat"
      }
    }
  ]
}

You can see other examples documented here.
