What are the references for creating/updating an overplay plugin in version 2025 R2?

The SDK seems broken in these new versions.

Hi,

Can you please tell us more details on which methods you are using and what exactly it is that is broken? Do you get any exceptions or you are not seeing the overlay? We do not know of any breaking changes.

Hi,

In versions like 2023 r2, I created a watermark plugin to capture the name of the user logged into the smart client.

I did this using some references in my VS project, VideoOS.Platform.dll

VideoOS.Platform.Client.dll.

However, in version 2025 r2, I no longer have these references in the MIP SDK.

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, you are implementing a plugin for the smart client to show a watermark on top of the video displayed to the user. Is this correctly understood?

If so, the only VideoOS reference you should use should be VideoOS.Platform, and you should load this through the appropriate NuGet package.

If I have misunderstood what you are trying to achieve, please let me know.

Best Regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your help.

From now on, I’ll try using only VideoOS.Platform via NuGet.
