Hello and good time of day. Make as written at [this article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-debug-timed-data-events-id3-tags-from-apple-hls-streams-in-ios-devices%28ID3-tags%29), and [read](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%28ID3-tags%29-in-an-Apple-HLS-stream&page=2#comments) this. But how, in first place, inject into live stream timed events? Exactly every second inject “time passed”, or something alike. Thanks in advance. ---

Hi, You inject the que points into the original, internal RTMP based stream as in this [example here.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-inject-cue-points-or-metadata) Then use the guides you referred to to convert to ID3 tags and test/debug the entries. Daren ---
