Plug-in

  • Article

A plug-in is executable software (DLL or EXE) that is designed to provide functionality for a Windows Media server. The following plug-in classes are recognized by Windows Media Services:

  • Cache proxy

  • Client authentication

  • Client authorization

  • Control protocol

  • Data sink

  • Data source

  • Event notification

  • Media parser

  • Playlist parser

You can use the plug-ins provided with Windows Media Services or create your own. Plug-ins must be registered in the Windows registry, and they must be enabled before they can be run.

Note

   Windows Media Services does not include a cache proxy plug-in.
