ID3 tags

ID3 tags provide information about an audio or video file, such as the title of the file or the name of the artist. detects ID3 tags at the transport stream (TS) segment level in HLS streams and dispatches an event. The application can extract data from the tag.

When TVSDK detects ID3 metadata, it issues a notification with the following data:

• InfoCode = 303007
• TYPE = ID3
• NAME = not present
• ID = 0

1. Implement an event listener for TimedMetadataEvent.TIMED_METADATA_ID3_ADDED and register it with the MediaPlayer object.

   TVSDK calls this listener when it detects ID3 metadata.

   NOTE

   Custom ad cues use the same onTimedMetadata event to indicate detection of a new tag. This should not cause any confusion because custom ad cues are detected at the manifest level, and ID3 tags are embedded in the stream. For more information, see custom-tags-configure .

2. Retrieve the metadata.

   private function onID3Metadata(event:TimedMetadataEvent):void {
       var timedMetadata:TimedMetadata = event.timedMetadata;
       var metadata:Metadata = timedMetadata.metadata;
       var keys:Vector.<String> = metadata.keySet();
       for (var i:int = keys.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
           var value:ByteArray = metadata.getByteArray(keys[i]);
           _logger.info("#onTimedMetadata Detected dictionary data key: [{0}],
                        value: [{1}] of length {2} bytes at time [{3}].",
                        keys[i],
                        value.toString(),
                        value.length,
                        event.timedMetadata.time);
       }
   }
