Create custom primitives and encoders on Mediabin 8.X

DeSmetKoen

Hi all,

Anyone knows if it's possible to create custom primitives and encoders on Mediabin 8.X ?

This in order to create Mediabin workflows that can start custom actions like scripts,webcalls etc.

Kind regards,

Koen

Hi Koen,

Primitives are DLLs for file format processing in MB. MediaBin Server does not recoginize the custom primitives. You can create the custom .jar files with the custom functionality and can be used in LiquidOffice Workflows.

Thanks,

Does that mean that "Create a new Task" itself is an incomplete functionality with NO ability to write custom primitives ?

Tasks are actions which leverage primitives. Example would be to resize an image on download to 100px. This would use the jpg primitive, and possibly others.

Custom workflows is where you would add scripts. Or you can create scripts which will be invoked when some action is performed in against IDOL, like some metadata field value changes.
