metadata flv

[bluewalrus]

I posted this in php but thought later someone with more of a flash background might have a better idea. Does anyone have an idea how I can gather the metadata for a file that is being uploaded so it will be playable on the site when it is added rather than downloading it running it through flvtool2 then uploading it? Thanks for any ideas you have.

Do the files you're uploaded already contain metadata or are you injecting it?

[bluewalrus]

no, i want to inject it.

And you're currently doing it via the command line? If you have any control over your server, you could install some of the server-side flv metadata injection libraries and do it on the fly. There isn't a workaround do using flvtool or something similar. You'll always have to run it through that but you can optimize your workflow so it's more automatic.

Yea i'm using command prompt currently. Where would i install the server side library, which library should i use, how would i trigger it?
