Mastering Your Media Workflows: Introducing Scripting and Storage Hooks
At plugNmeet, our goal is to provide a powerful, open, and flexible platform that adapts to your needs, not the other way around. As deployments grow and move to the cloud, managing media files like recordings and artifacts becomes a critical challenge. How do you store files in S3? How do you automate notifications when a recording is ready? How do you manage complex workflows in a multi-server cluster?
Until now, solving these challenges often required modifying the core application code, making updates difficult and maintenance a chore.
Today, we're thrilled to announce a powerful new feature that changes everything: Scripting and Storage Hooks. This new mechanism allows you to extend and customize plugNmeet's media workflow by executing your own custom scripts—either as efficient, long-lived processes or simple one-shot commands—at key stages. All communication happens via newline-delimited JSON over standard I/O, so you can integrate your own logic without touching a single line of the core code.
