Timecode on stream output

Hi,

New to Wowza.

My workflow is RTMP connect to Wowza and then playback via the DASH or HLS stream.

Is there a way to burn in timecode or apply a timecode source to playback of the DASH/HLS stream ?

Yes, you can embed timestamp metadata for HLS streams. The module described in that article will produce a ID3 tag that can be viewed by an HLS player and overlaid on the video images.This is the best way to go about it:

Thanks for the answer .

I am unsure on how to perform step 1 of the link attached.

Are you able to complete this step ? Unsure of how to create the .jar file and then not sure how to add it to the Wowza Streaming Engine live application.

Thank You

Hi, you can submit a support ticket and the engineers will show you how to do this and they can test your setup for you This requires access to your files and logs which can’t be done in the forums.
