Exporting video from within an EventServer plugin

Hello,

I’m trying to use AVIExporter to export video in ExecuteAction method of a class derived from ActionManager in my plugin I’m developing for EventServer. new AVIExporter() line causes the MIPException to be thrown with the following exception message: “Method not supported for this Environment”. Does this mean I cannot use AVIExporter in a plugin?

Regards,

The AVI Exporter is not available in the Event Server. This is designed so deliberately as the fear is that it would otherwise be too easy to overload the Event Server with system wide errors as the effect.

You must build your own exporter service, a benefit is that you will be able to scale the solution more flexibly.

Could you elaborate on this answer a little bit? I am running into the same issue of wanting to export AVI from a plugin running in the Event Server. I’m not sure what you mean by “build an exporter service”. Do you mean a completely seperate application from the Event Server plugin? or is there a way for a plugin to create a server/service which can handle these types of activities? Thanks.
