Hi

I like to understand whether GoCoder SDK provides a mean to generate a timecode and wether it can be referenced to a universal time reference?

Thank you

Hi,

The GoCoder SDK by default sets the stream timecode as a relative offset to the beginning of the stream. You can instead insert a timestamp every few frames as a metadata call, and have a server-side module that parses this metadata.
