How to access recordings?

Whenever we record, the recordings get stored.

My question is where are they actually stored?

I see that management client says that recordings are stored in [C:\MediaDatabase,](file:C:/MediaDatabase,) but MediaDatabase have many folders, and say I have done manual recording now, the changes aren’t reflected in this folder, I don’t see any new folder.

I just want to know how can I access stored recordings and perform some operations via plugin integration with XProtect Corporate.

See the Video File Viewer sample. (VideoFileViewer.csproj). Alternatively the Media Playback Viewer sample (MediaPlaybackViewer.csproj)

A word of caution: You can use this on exported footage or on original media database files while the recording server is turned off. If you use this on the original media database file while the recording server is turned on you risk corrupting the files!

Thanks for the answer.
