Description

We use HTML5 version floplayer (EngineName: hlsjs) where we read metadata from the stream.

flowplayer(container, { clip: { live: true, sources: [ { type: "application/x-mpegurl", src: "http://example.com/1-1/playlist.m3u8" }], hlsjs: { listeners: ["hlsFragParsingMetadata"] }, } }) .on("hlsFragParsingMetadata", function (e, api, data) { var str = (new TextDecoder("utf-8").decode(data.samples[0].data)); console.log('FRAG_PARSING_METADATA: ' + str); })

The problem is Win7 IE11 where does not function EngineName: hlsjs but only EngineName: Flash.

Is it possible to set the flash plugin so as read metadata (ID3) using Javascript?

Research direction

Start with the hlsFragParsingMetadata listener example and compare it with the Flash Engine path described for Win7 IE11. Done means determining whether ID3 metadata can be exposed to JavaScript through the Flash plugin, and documenting the result or the implementation scope.
