Plug-in

A plug-in is executable software (DLL or EXE) that is designed to provide functionality for a Windows Media server. The following plug-in classes are recognized by Windows Media Services:

• Cache proxy
• Client authentication
• Client authorization
• Control protocol
• Data sink
• Data source
• Event notification
• Media parser
• Playlist parser

You can use the plug-ins provided with Windows Media Services or create your own. Plug-ins must be registered in the Windows registry, and they must be enabled before they can be run.

• Note   Windows Media Services does not include a cache proxy plug-in.
