StartStreamProcessor

Starts processing a stream processor. You create a stream processor by calling CreateStreamProcessor. To tell StartStreamProcessor which stream processor to start, use the value of the Name field specified in the call to CreateStreamProcessor.

If you are using a label detection stream processor to detect labels, you need to provide a Start selector and a Stop selector to determine the length of the stream processing time.
