How to read or extract cuepoints created live, with Nestream.send()?

You aren't going to be able to extract these events with the third party software you mentioned.

Events recorded using netstream.send are not included in the top-of-file metadata as cuepoints. Events are saved as data describing AMF types and values, and the data is in the file data itself at the point where the event is to be dispatched. The flv spec actually calls for using the same data structure for metadata... it just reserves the name "onMetaData" for the event, and that onMetadata event is typically found at the top of the file.

I don't know of any third party tools for extracting data other than that with the onMetaData event name, but if you're comforatable working at the byte level, i imagine you could build a tool to read through the bytes and look for the data tags in the file.

You can read more in the file specification:

The pdf linked on that page contains information for both FLV and F4V.

Hi,

You can go through the below working code for sending cuepoint. After recording it try to play it by attaching appropriate handler on client side:

Client code : Cuepoint.fla

import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.media.*;

var nc=new NetConnection();
nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNCStatus);
nc.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, netSecurityError);
var pub_ns;

//Attaching live feed to video object.
var Cam = Camera.getCamera();
var Mic = Microphone.getMicrophone();
pub_video.attachCamera(Cam);

//Handlers for buttons
pub_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doPublish);
stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doStop);
send_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSend);

// Start publishing live feed.
function onNCStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
logs.text += "Publisher Connection Status: " + event.info.code + "\n";
if (event.info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
  pub_ns = new NetStream(nc);
  pub_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
  pub_ns.publish(stream_name.text);
 
}
}

function netSecurityError(event:SecurityErrorEvent):void {
logs.text += "netSecurityError: " + event + "\n";
}

function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
logs.text+="Publish Code : " + event.info.code + "\n";
if(event.info.code == "NetStream.Publish.Start"){
  pub_ns.attachCamera(Cam);
  pub_ns.attachAudio(Mic);
}
}

function doPublish(e:MouseEvent) {  
nc.connect(conn_uri.text);
}

function doStop(e:MouseEvent) {  
pub_ns.publish(false);
}

function doSend(e:MouseEvent) {
logs.text += "Sending the streamInfo for stream : " + stream_name.text + "\n";
var dsSet:Array = new Array();
var streamInfo:Object = new Object();
streamInfo.streamName = stream_name.text;
pub_ns.send("onStreamInfo",streamInfo);
}

Server Code :

application.onPublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){

  trace("          in application publish : " + streamObj.name);
  streamFullName = streamObj.type + ":" + streamObj.name;
  streamObj.record("record");
}

While Playing it do the following :

if(info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success"){
  ns = new NetStream(nc);
  ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
  client = new Object();
  ns.client = client;
  client.onStreamInfoAck = onStreamInfoHandler;       
}

function onStreamInfoHandler(info){
trace("onStreamInfoAck : " + info.streamName + "\n");
}

From FMLE as far as I know you cant do the similar thing as you dont have the access for publishing stream which is required to call and insert cuepoint.
