Hi, we currently are able to send metadata over our stream to clients using H264 streaming on iOS as well as Flash. On Android we’re trying to take advantage of the built in RSTP streaming, however we are unable to get the metadata portion of this working. Is this currently possible with Wowza (we’re on v3.6.2) and Android (v4.x)? If not, is the only way to stream with meta data on Android by using Adobe Air and RMTP (or some other RMTP streaming library)?

Hi,
It’s more likely that this will work with a custom Air application, or other custom player application.
Android can also playback HLS, same as iOS. It’s implementation is not as mature as iOS though.
you might have more success there, but will depend on the type of metadata you are sending.
