Well yes for the static metadata inserted in the beginning. But what I am not seeing is dynamic custom timestamp I insert every 1 second. I am able to play back and read this metadata with my own simple player but as soon as I do any thing with ffmpeg (even a copy) this custom metadata is gone. I was expecting a simple fly to flv to work.
Thanks
