Abstract
Embodiments are directed to providing an extensible platform that allows users to select from and implement different types of media processors and to providing a management portal that allows users to manage their media processors. In one scenario, a computer system receives from a user a workflow with various tasks that are to be processed using a user-specified media processor. The computer system schedules computer system resources including a virtual machine on which the user-specified media processor is to be installed. The user-specified media processor includes a corresponding media processor installer. The computer system instantiates the scheduled virtual machine on the computer system, initiates the media processor installer to install the user-specified media processor on the instantiated virtual machine, and implements the installed media processor on the instantiated virtual machine to process the workflow tasks.
