In my module I create streams dynamically using Stream.createInstance and use stream.play(…) to play video on them. These streams should be republished using RTMP so I create an instance of PushPublishRTMP and set source and destination. As long as I disable sendOnMetadata it works, the video played on the stream is published.
I would like to inject the metadata dynamically as well (as @setDataFrame) but I cannot figure out how to do this. I saw other posts referencing stream.sendDirect(“onMetadata”, …) but it doesn’t send it and the streaming doesn’t start (waiting for the metadata I assume). I tried calling sendData when creating the stream, when creating the push publisher, adding a listener and sending it from onStreamOnStatus and onStreamCreate, neither which worked.
The log contains:

```
Part of the code:
```auto
publisher.setAppInstance(appInstance);
publisher.setSrcStreamName(streamName());
publisher.setHostname("example.net");
publisher.setPort(1935);
publisher.setDstApplicationName("app");
publisher.setDstStreamName("dst");
publisher.setDstAppInstanceName("");
publisher.setSendFCPublish(true);
publisher.setSendOnMetadata(true);
publisher.setOnMetadataToSetDataFrame(true);
publisher.setDebugLog(true);
publisher.setImplementation("rtmp");
/* ... */
IMediaStream stream = appInstance.getStreams().getStream(streamName());
if (stream != null) {
AMFDataObj amfData = new AMFDataObj();
amfData.put("title", new AMFDataItem("Example stream"));
amfData.put("language", new AMFDataItem("Swedish"));
//stream.sendDirect("onMetaData", amfData);
stream.sendDirect("onMetadata", amfData);
logger.info("onMetadata injected");
}
```
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Try adding
```auto
stream.processSendDirectMessages();
```
after your sendDirect() call. That works for me with “onTextData” events
