WMS Active Script Event Handler - Loading properties

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

You can run this plug-in out-of-process (as an executable file) instead of loading it in-process (as a part of the server process). Plug-ins that are loaded in-process as part of the server run faster and respond faster to information requests. Out-of-process plug-ins are slower, but they do not cause the Windows Media server to stop working if they stop responding, so they can be useful in environments where server downtime is an unacceptable risk. You can configure the following options on the Loading tab for this plug-in.

Item Description

Plug-in loading

Settings in this area define how the plug-in program is loaded when it starts.

In-process

Select this option to have the Windows Media Services service run the plug-in as part of the server process.

Out-of-process

Select this option to have the Windows Media Services service run the plug-in as its own process.

Note

All enabled plug-ins are loaded when the Windows Media Services service starts. If you change the loading behavior of a plug-in, you must stop and restart the service before the change takes effect. For more information about modifying plug-in loading behavior that does not require stopping or restarting the service, see the Windows Media Services SDK.
