I'm recording a lot of live streams for archiving purposes. Is it possible to somehow (programmaticly) get the timestamp of a certain point of such record?  The solution can be in any programming language.

    Basically, what I need is to know that time it was at point X of the video (When it was live).

    Think about it like an archiving system. You can write the time you want at the video, and then play it.

    Yes very much - you can use Server-side API of Stream Class. Say if you are recording "mylivestream" and recording is done mp4 format i.e. file on disk is mylivestream.f4v - you can call

    Stream.length(mp4:mylivestream.f4v) at any point of time and this will return length of file recorded till that point of time.

    Is this what you were looking for - if i did not get your problem right - do let me know.

    from the client side you can ask the recordeing's meta data what its lenght is also.
