Retrieve image within a plugin on the event server?

Hi,

I’m trying to write a Plugin which sends image data to an external server and receives information about that image back from the server. It then should display a certain overlay over the image in the smart client.

Now I’m wondering if it’s possible to retrieve an image within a background plugin running on the event server? And if yes, how is it accomplished?

Until now I found only ways to get images within Smart Client plugins, but for this application it’s important that the images can also be sent and analyzed while the smart client is not running.

No. To ensure that the Event Server does not get overloaded it is incapable of retrieving images from the recording server. The classes that you would normally use is not supported within an Event Server plugin. Please build a standalone service instead. This improves scalability as you will be able to run it in another physical server or even multiple servers.
