Plug-in loading properties

You can run authentication, authorization, and event handler plug-ins out-of-process (as executable files) instead of loading them 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 for this plug-in.

Item Description
Plug-in loading Settings in this area define how the plug-in programs are loaded when they start.
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.
