How do I make a transcoding plugin to add different functionality?
You have to be a good programmer but see http://update.PRISMIQ.org/plugins/ for transcoder info. If you are using a relatively recent version of the PRISMIQ software, it is already running the plugin for you. But let’s assume you like fiddling with things First, kill the “stock” plugin. You can bring up the task list and kill it. Or right-click on the PRISMIQ icon in the system tray, then “show”, then “media server” to see the transcoder, then you can kill it. Now you can run your newly compiled plugin. It will bring up a status window (the stock one is normally hidden until you ask to see it.) When a plugin runs, it registers itself with the media server (winvod.exe) automatically, so there isn’t a lot you have to do. If you want to write your own plugin to support some format X, it might be easiest to modify the sample code to do what you want. In this case, I suggest removing support for the other (already supported) formats so that your new plugin does not duplicate existing media
