Live streaming: server-side metadata modifications

[Leonardo Scattola]

Hi all!

A quick question: is it possible to alter (with a server-side module) the metadata coming from a live stream?
The scenario I wish to achieve is the following:
- an user publishes a live stream
- the server intercepts the metadata coming on the streams before they're sent to the other clients
- the server alters the metadata packet and writes it back onto the stream

I can read the metadata coming on the stream with a module which implements IMediaStreamActionNotify2 (overriding the onMetaData function), but I can't find a function to write the metadata back.

Another path that I've been following was to write a class which performs the very same actions for MediaReaderFLV but in a live scenario, but I don't think that such a class exists.

Thank you,

Leonardo

Take a look at these examples:

Richard,
thanks! I saw this post before, but the injection of new metadata and the "setCaption" method are triggered by a client-side modification. What I was looking for is a server-side method to alter thee metadata on-the-fly, upon detection.

The essential code that does this is not dependent on Flash client. You can easily copy what you need into the onMetaData handler.

Richard,
thank you for your prompt response! I'll give it a try as soon as I can.
Thank you again,
