Hi.
I was wondering if there is a way that the TCS can control external systems via some form of outgoing api ? I would like to get the TCS to call an external webservice with a set of params after a video is transcoded and uploaded to a streaming server. Alternatively just call an external page from an event handler for the transcode engine. This way the external system could call back into the TCS and get the needed data this way.
Is there anyway of doing this as of today?
Thank you in advance
Jan

Hi Jan,
There is currently no mechanism on the TCS to perform an outgoing request upon completion of a offline transcode. The External Management API provides the AddManagementSystem function instructing the TCS to upload an XML document on call connecting, connected, rejected and disconnected.
The best approach would be to poll the TCS using the GetConference function with your ConferenceID and look at the HasPending and PercentTranscoded parameters in the response.
Good luck!
