Processing Metadata in a Smart Client Plugin

Is there are SmartClient plugin example that can receive the Metadata that goes with live video (and the recorded video) and display the Metadata as an overlay in SmartClient?

I need to develop a Smart Client plugin to read metadata, extract some data from it and then draw my own lines on the screen.

(so a bit like BoundingBox but I need different shapes)

What I have done already is

  1. use SCAnalyticsOverlay as a test where I can overlay my own text and graphics in Smart Client. This works well.

  2. use the MetaData example (BoundingBox) o create a metadata source, add it to XP Corporate and then get Bounding Boxes displayed (Note they only displayed in SCHotSpot and not in the normal SmartClient window, but I’m not too worried about that as I’ll be doing my own graphics and text overlay

So I need some help receiving the raw metadata that goes with the live (and recorded video) in my Smart Client plugin.

Is there an example?

If there is not then I expect I’ll take the code from MetaDataLiveViewer and add that into a worker thread in my SC Plugin.

Thanks

There is no plugin sample. You are absolutely right, take the code from MetaDataLiveViewer into your plugin, this should be best way to exploit the sample. The functionality will work the same way in the Smart Client environment.
