Determine if Plugin is running in Export-Player

Hi all, just a quick question:

we have a Plugin that is exported along with camera footage. Is there a way to determine from the MIP SDK if the Plugin is currently running within the DeskClient-Player.exe ?

For the user to determine if a plugin is running, in regular Smart Client and the Smart Client Player alike, use Help → About, it will list loaded plugins.

There is no built-in method to run a standalone app that will scan or communicate with a Smart Client Player and tell if it loaded a plugin. I think developing such a functionality for your plugin in is possible, I envision that your plugin has a network interface that can respond if an external app asks. You would have to develop both the plugin and the app.

The plugin itself can detect if it runs in the SC Player by using: SmartClientInOfflineMode - https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=miphelp/class_video_o_s_1_1_platform_1_1_environment_manager.html&tree=tree_search.html?search=smartclientinofflinemode
