[Announce] FLVmeta 1.0.10 released

[Marc Noirot]

FLVmeta 1.0.10 has been released.

This is a maintenance release which fixes a few critical bugs, including a
potential crash with video resolution detection.
You can download the source code or binaries at:

http://code.google.com/p/flvmeta/

Changes since last release:

Bugs fixed:

* Fixed amf_data_dump numeric format.

* Fixed extended timestamp handling, causing invalid time to be
reported in certain cases.

* Fixed video resolution detection causing a crash in the case the
video tag data body has less data than required.

Hi Marc,

Is flvdump away ?

Away ?
Normally, flvdump should build fine.
I removed it from the trunk, because the flvmeta binary will do both
things, but it's still included in the 1.0.x branch of which 1.0.10 is
the latest release.
Hope that it clears things up :)

Marc

OK Marc, my bad.
I've built the svn version.
I'll download it again…

Great news. Thank you for all the work on this! --- On Thu, 9/3/09, Marc Noirot <marc....@gmail.com> wrote:

Still no news about onCuePoint events ? These are metadata embedded in
FLV files. They should be handled by FLVmeta ;) Am I wrong ?

Thank you.

+1 for supporting custom onCuePoints events.

I have a videoconference software that records the conferencer's
webcam who can also control presentation slides. Each time he clicks
to move to the next slide, I record the click in an xml file. Once the
recording is finished I inject the cuePoints (currently using
flvtool2) so that people who have missed the conference will still see
the slides change because they are fired by cuePoints stored within
the video file.

Can you please explain more precisely how you inject cue points using
flvtool2, and the XML format used ?
I would like to see a concrete use case so I can implement this
functionality in flvmeta 1.1.

Marc

Marc,

It's quite a straightfoward process.
You can use a xml or yaml format.
The flvtool2 take it as input and inject the amf data at the correct
timestamp.
That's it.

Do you need an example of the format used ?
Greetings

[Marc Noirot]

Yes, please, I would like to see what cue points look like, and an
example of a XML file fed to flvtool2.

That would be precious help to me :)
Thanks !

Here we go.

[Marc Noirot]

Thank you Eric !
It's okay, I guess I'll be able to test it by myself now :)

By the way, I can see a limitation in the way flvtool2 handles tags in
XML files.
There seems to be no type information on the tag values.
For example, I suspect the parameters might injected as AMF strings,
or maybe numbers, but not dates for example.

Do you think it is interesting to inject metadata with more granularity ?
I invite you to check the XML schemas and samples that I wrote in
http://code.google.com/p/flvmeta/source/browse/#svn/trunk/schemas
The syntax might seem more complex, but it follows the specification
from Adobe more closely.

Marc

You're a genius !
Never thought of such a feature before, but definitively a must-have !

Is all the actionscript data is expressed in your xml ?
I'll dig deeper in order to check them all.

Great job.

[Deckard]

Marc,

You could decide your own input XML schema for cuepoints. No matter if
it does not match flvtool2 one.
Also, I'd really like that cuepoint ingest operation has an option to
erase all previous cuepoints ;)

Thanks a lot !

Yes it's definitely a limitation I run into wish bothered me. If
flvmeta can fix that, it would be fantastic.
