Custom metadata injection in live video feed?

[Niklas Fischier]

Hi to you all,

This is my first ever post on this forum. It has been of great assistance many
times, but i can't find any information about adding metadata to a live stream
- apart from the regular info about the height, length and so on.

Is it possible to add metadata "on the fly". I want to use it for controlling
navigation on client swf file.
or is there a other more simple way to do this and "save" the commands sent
for the ondemand version of the file?

Best Regards

You can use the send() method on the netStream to save data in the FLV file at certain points in the file and then it will play back syncronized to that. Is that what you are looking for?

Thank you for replying. Actually the reason i asked the question in the first
place is your tutorial on shared objects :-)
Thank you that...

I have been given the task to setup a interface using the new Interactive
server that synchronizes content on the clients swf to live video. And the only
way i can seeee it be done is thru the shared objects and netstream.send()
script commands - am i correct?

Unfortunatly i'm inexperienced when it comes to AS.. I have done some more
simple scripting, but this is something else, being server side and all. If i
get it correctly i need to set up:
1. A client being some kind of admin where i can send
NetStream.send(nextlabeledframe) or the like thru the FMS.
2. Set up a server side function that passes on a so.send to all clients when
the NetStream.send() is sent from the "admin" client to the server.
3. Set up a shared object on the "normal user" client that follows these calls

If you could say ANYTHING to point me in the right direction i would be so
grateful. I know that it is all in the docs, but to be honest i'm having
troubles putting it all together :-(

Bets Regards and thanks again
