    Hi All,

this is the first time I've posted, apologies if any of it is not clear. First I just want to say what a great product Red5 is, i've found it incredibly useful, thanks to all involved in dev work.



I am trying to add cue points to a recording as it is being recorded from a clients webcam, the reason for this is that I need the data in the cuepoint to be synchronised almost exactly with the recording. 
I have googled high and low to find how to do this and so far all I have come across this post: http://www.underbrush.ca/read.php?id=1189176972 .



My code looks like this, on as3 side:

//once the nc Netconnection, ns netstream, has been established:

            ns.publish(sessionId, "record");    
            
            nc.call("CuePointHandler.embedCuePoint", res, 1,5 );



where res is the result handler, and 1,5 are the 2 variables I want to send to the red5 server to create the cuePoint.
And on the red5 side:

public class CuePointHandler {
    

    public String embedCuePoint( int x, int y)


    {
        MetaCue cue = new MetaCue();
        cue.setTime( 0 ); // Time in seconds
        cue.setType( "event" ); // cue type, "event" or "navigation";
        cue.setName( "myCuePoint"; ); // name for this event


  ;      cue.put("x" , x ); // property "that", value "this"
        cue.put("y", y);
   ;     
        
        return "your cue point is:" + cue.toString();


    }
    
}


This initial code works very roughly, but i have a few questions about it, as there is much I haven't solved:

  1. is NetConnection.call() the right method to use in this situation, should I be using NetStream.send() instead? if so how do i use it?
    2. 


  2. the time variable in the java code is currently hardcoded, how do I access the current time of the recording stream?
  3. I guess to write the cuepoints into the stream I need to override the appDisconnect method of the Application class, to add the cuepoints once the stream has finished recording, do people think this is the write approach?
    4. 


  4. -- if it is the right approach how do I get a handle on the FLV to append the data to it?

thanks

Luke
