Question

Embed live cue data in live stream?

I am currently using the new FME to encode live to a FMS. Both applicatioins are running on the same machine. Is there a way to embed live cue and metadata into the live stream? Once embedded we want to record the stream AND send it on to viewers. Is there a way to process this on the server. The live cue and metadata is coming in the serial port.

    You can do this if you encode the data in the FMS instead of the encoder. However you cannot then send the content from that FMS downstream to another. I believe Adobe may be fixing this in a later release. We could not wait on their solution. We migrated to Silverlight. It works there.

    That's really interesting to hear, because we are currently evaluating Silverlight as an alternativ technology for our live stream. But when I last checked their website it said, they don't support Script Commands yet.

    Would it be possible to use FME connected to FMS and embed the data into the FLV stream in the FMS?

    I would be very interested to know this as well, more specifically, can you embed scripts / urls in the flash stream? You can do this in Windows and Real Media on a data layer separate from the video/audio data.

    Hey Flasher,

    I got the same issues as mentioned in the posts above. I am using FMS for live streaming and I want to embed metadata into the live stream. So far, I'm using a server side script that calls the Stream.send() method, but I'm not sure if there are other (better?) ways how to achieve this situation. What do you think?

    Here are some questions that came up:
    1) When using Stream.send(), is the message directly embedded into the stream (like some header information)?
    2) Is this message somehow comparable to cue points used in a FLV file?

    Thanks in advance!

    you can't do this with FME. If you publish via the Flash Player you can use NetStream.send
