Subject: [FLVTool2-users] Question regarding XML syntax for onCuePoint
	metatags.
Message-ID: <BFAB708A-CBD3-4E73-B982-A017A4D9809E@absoft.se>

Hello

I am having trouble when inserting onCuePoint metatags using flvtool2.

I use the following command (OS is Linux and FLVTool2 version is  
1.0.3 RC4):

flvtool2 -UAt /tmp/tags.xml /tmp/file.flv

I noticed that I need to run this command _two_ times on the same  
file in order for the cuepoint tags to show up with "flvtool2 -Px / 
tmp/file.flv",  which is a bit weird. Then when the tags do show up,  
the timestamp is always set to zero (<time>0</time>).

My tags.xml file is modelled after the example that comes with  
flvtool2 and looks as  so:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tags>
   <metatag event="onCuePoint" overwrite="true">
     <name>Achtung</name>
     <timestamp>1.234</timestamp>
     <parameters>
       <speaker>Fredrik</speaker>
       <says>I am so glad I have eyeballs.</says>
     </parameters>
     <type>event</type>
   </metatag>
</tags>

I'd be glad if someone could hint me as to why my timestamps doesn't  
work and why I seem to have to run the -UAt command twice in order  
for any cuepoints to show up!

/Fredrik

I can confirm that on osx too.

One need two pass of flvtool2 -UAt /tmp/tags.xml /tmp/file.flv to add 
the cuepoints to the flv.

I also tried to pipe he process without any luck.
I was thinking that flvtool2 needs a pass wih -U and use the infos to 
add the cuepoints :
./flvtool2 -U /Users/via/Desktop/demo.flv stdout | ./flvtool2 -At 
/Users/via/Desktop/tags.xml stdin /Users/via/Desktop/test.flv

BTW, we are only talking of the cuepoints list added in the header 
file, as I don't took time to test them as events for now?


I think there is also an issue with the line type of the tags.xml file.
It seems to use \n only, not \n\r neither \r.
