Hi there,

I have a .ts segment. I wanna insert ID3 tags into it at a specific time ( say after 3 seconds from the video segment starts). I just read this article [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-convert-ontextdata-events-in-a-live-or-vod-stream-to-timed-events-id3-tags-in-an-apple-hls-stream](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-convert-ontextdata-events-in-a-live-or-vod-stream-to-timed-events-id3-tags-in-an-apple-hls-stream)

It seems that I can use stream.senddirect() to insert an AMF onTextData to the stream and then use the ModuleCupertinoVODOnTextToID3 module to convert the inserted onTextData events to ID3 tags.

My question is: This article only describes how to insert ID3 tags during streaming. Can I insert ID3 tags to the .ts segment? ( ideally the wowza should create a new .ts file with an ID3 tag inserted at 3s ). Is this possible?

Thanks! 🙂

Hi,

It is possible to insert the ID3 tags to the .ts segment, but this is not currently supported in Wowza. You would need to write a custom module for this.
