Can Ant Media plugins make use of JNI to run C++ code?

[Atul]

I am trying to run a C++ project as a plugin. According to my understanding the plugins are written in java, so can I compile the C++ code into a shared library and use it from java using java native interface.

Or is there any better way to access streams from And media server within the C++ project so that it can be used for image processing.

Hi @Atul,

How are you!

You can use a C++ shared library by JNI. Actually both tensorflow and filter plugins use native libraries.

We use JavaCPP to call C++ shared library through Java.

You can refer to this https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp

Thanks
