Memory Stream without TaskID?

spano

Wondering if it's possible to create an asset based on a filesystem path rather than a TaskID. My understanding is that to do something outside of MediaBin, I will have to use the shortcircut function. This allows me to send input and output paths, but then takes away my ability to write it back to the response.buffer. I want the result in memory versus a physical file written to disk. Can I have the best of both worlds?

Thank you.

Currently, no. Only asset previews are available as a memory stream. Operations that manipulate an asset.... insertion task, retrieval task, or short circuit task....are all filesystem based. You would have to create a temporary staging area for the MediaBin server to write the files, then you'd open the files and stream them to the response buffer.
