I am working on a project, where we intend to use Flash Media Live Encoder, with the “Timecode” and “Embed system time as timecode” checkboxes selected.

When I use the Wowza Streaming Cloud, I receive the server time as “timedMetadata” in iOS device, but not the timecode of the encoder. Therefore I decided to use the Wowza Streaming Engine.

With the default configuration of Wowza Streaming Engine, I receive no “timedMetadata” on the iOS device.

I want to configure the Wowza Streaming Engine such that I receive this Timecode information of the encoder as “timedMetadata” on iOS device.

How should I make this configuration?
