Text On Live Video Stream

Hi,

The detailed information on inserting metadata on live stream is documented in "flashmediaserver_3.5_dev_guide.pdf", under section 'Adding metadata to a live stream'. Check for this document under "$Root\Flash Media Server\documentation".

You can do it by injecting text using NetStream.send or Stream.send method. It depends on how are you publishing your stream but its very much possible.

Basically you just need to define a handler on client side which will get triggered when it encounters the text.

SO workflow would basically be like this:

Publihser publishes to your FMS or you play pre-recored file as FMS(which has text inserted at time of recording)

The text is injected in following format :-

Stream.send("displayText","Station Number:12341234")

Client end: There should be handler defined named

NetStream.displayText = function(txtString){

trace("txtString:"+txtString);

}

This is just rough example - do let me know if you want any more info.
