We need to implement play ads using RAF whileSCTE-35 marker or ID3 tag is detected from the HLS live stream.

We already added timedMetaData listener in Video, but the listener is not calling.

Is there any other listener to identify SCTE-35 marker, any sample URL contains SCTE-35 marker.

Hi,

Did You set "timedMetaDataSelectionKey" field of SG video node?
To recive any timed meta data You need to set this field. example below shows a way to select all keys:

SGVideoNode.timedMetaDataSelectionKeys = ["*"]

For more reading visit this documentation site  and search for "timedMetaDataSelectionKeys ", "timedMetaData " fields.

Hi aBlaze,

    Thanks for your reply, I added timedMetaDataSelectionKey for Video node only,

Please check the sample code.

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8" ?>

<!--********** Copyright 2016 Roku Corp. All Rights Reserved. **********-->

<component name = "VideoExample" extends = "Scene" >

<script type = "text/brightscript" >

<![CDATA[

sub init()
videocontent = createObject("RoSGNode", "ContentNode")

videocontent.title = "Example Video"
videocontent.streamFormat = "HLS"

videocontent.url = ""
m.video = m.top.findNode("exampleVideo")
m.video.content = videocontent

m.video.setFocus(true)
m.video.control = "play"
m.video.timedMetaDataSelectionKeys = ["*"]

m.video.observeField("timedMetaData", "timedMetaDataChanged")

end sub


Sub timedMetaDataChanged()
print "Position" m.video.Position
print "timedMetaData" m.video.timedMetaData
end Sub
]]>

</script>

<children >

<Video id = "exampleVideo"/>

</children>

</component>

Hi, srikanth, frankly Yours code worked well for me. 
only thing i have changed it was setting URL.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<component name="MainScene" extends="Scene">

    <script type = "text/brightscript" >

    <![CDATA[

        sub init()
            videocontent = createObject("RoSGNode", "ContentNode")

            videocontent.title = "Example Video"
            videocontent.streamFormat = "HLS"

            videocontent.url = "http://playertest.longtailvideo.com/adaptive/wowzaid3/playlist.m3u8"
            m.video = m.top.findNode("exampleVideo")
            m.video.content = videocontent

            m.video.setFocus(true)
            m.video.control = "play"
            m.video.timedMetaDataSelectionKeys = ["*"]

            m.video.observeField("timedMetaData", "timedMetaDataChanged")

        end sub


        Sub timedMetaDataChanged()
            print "Position" m.video.Position
            print "timedMetaData" m.video.timedMetaData
        end Sub
    ]]>

After running channel logs were like this:

Can You provide example stream url?
