Hello,

how to listen on the ServerSide for cuePoints in a ServerSide stream ( serverSide Playlist )

and store them in a variable?

Once a user connect the stored cuePoint has to be send to the client?

How is that done?

cuePoints are supposed to be defined on client side NetStream Objects. I have never used it on server-side , but you can just try code like below (I am not sure whether it would work):

mystream = Stream.get("mysample");

mystream.onCuePoint = function(res){

trace("OnCuePoint:"+res);

}

mystream.play("hello",0,-1,true);

so if "hello" has onCuePoint embedded it will get triggered

Hello,

thank you for you reply.

The idea behind server Side listening for cue-Points is the following.

Image you have a prerecorded DJ mix with song specific embedded cuePoints.

e.g:

00:00:00 Artist1 Song1

05:10:00 Artist2 Song2

15:23:00 Artist3 Song3

...

Lets say we have this running on a ServerSide-Playlist..., what happens if a listener connects to the stream in the middle of 2 Songs...?

He won't get the Song Information until the next cuePoint is dispatched.

So my idea was to listen on the ServerSide for cuePoints, store the most recent in a variable and inject it manually once a client connect.

This way the client would be instantly provided with song specific information.

Pretty straight forward , no ?

Or is there another way to solve this issue ?

Best Regards

Marc
