Reading ID3 tags(meta data) from recorded mp4 file recorded with wowza

I am using wowza for live streaming.During live broadcasting I inject few amf and ID3 tags in to the video and that video gets recorded to mp4 file.I am using some tool to verify that those tags gets injected as data packets to recorded mp4 file.My requirement is that I want to fetch those tags as timed events while playing mp4 file on to the browser in jwplayer. Please suggest me a solution.How can I do that ? Does Jwplayer is capable enough to read those tags as timed events?

Hi there,

You can potentially exposed time metadata events using the .on('meta') event handler from our JavaScript API, but I have honestly not seen this done with static MP4 files. Usually meta events only fire in streaming formats, such as HLS.

Thank you.

Hi Nikhil,

The .on('meta') event should fire similarly in all browsers and devices, except for those that natively support HLS which means that our player does not have much control over the playback. The browsers that natively support HLS include Safari for iOS and Mac and Chrome for Android.

Thank you.
