Automatic Registration of Services and Providers
Interplay Media Services v3.0 makes configuration easier by automatically registering services
and providers.
Automatically Registering Services
The Media Services Engine requires configuration files for each service. These files are
contained in a .zip file (called a service package). For example, Interplay Copy requires the
service package CopyMedia.zip.
In earlier versions of Media Services, you needed to open the Media Services and Transfer Status
tool, click the Install/Upgrade button, then locate and open the correct .zip file on the provider
system. In Media Services v3.0, the .zip files are installed on the Media Services Engine system
when you install the Media Services software. The first time the v3.0 engine runs after a new
installation, it checks which services and versions were installed. It then automatically upgrades
registered services or registers new services.
Automatically Registering Providers
After the services are registered, you need to register a provider with the Media Services Engine.
In earlier versions of Media Services, registering a provider was a two-step process:
1. In the Media Services and Transfer Status tool, click the Register button, select a service,
and enter a provider name.
2. On the provider system, open the service and click the Settings button. In the Provider
Settings dialog box, enter the provider name and the Media Service Engine hostname.
