Before you begin processing a file or stream, you must create a configuration that instructs Media Server how to process the media.
You cannot configure ingestion, analysis, encoding, data transformation, event stream processing, or output in the Media Server configuration file (mediaserver.cfg). Instead, pass a task configuration to Media Server in the process action, when you start processing. This allows you to process media from different sources and run different analysis tasks for different types of media.
To pass a configuration to Media Server in the process action, you can:
ConfigDirectory parameter, in the [Paths] section of the Media Server configuration file. When you run the process action to start processing, use the ConfigName action parameter to specify the name of the configuration file to use. process action to start processing, use the ConfigPath action parameter to specify the path of the configuration file to use.process action when you start processing. Use the Config action parameter to include the base-64 encoded data.
