Scope of support

The player will parse SEI packets with resolution payloadType 5 based on H.264 specification for HLS (for default hls.js based streaming). Now you can write custom data to a HLS H.264 stream and get those data from API method getMetadata upon meta API event.

Getting SEI packets custom data through player API

SEI packets custom data API event

meta: this event fires each time new SEI packets custom data are available

SEI packets custom data API method

getMetadata()

When invoked, this method will return Object|null representing the current SEI packets custom data. The returned Object when available will have the following structure:

{
  data: {
    samples: [
      pts: 0,
      payloadType: 5,
      uuid: "8fbb6c74-7c3e-4f78-9f7-8cb35d3c177e",
      userDataBytes: Object,
      userData: "some user data"
    ]
  },
  type: "sei"
}
