Mouse data of screen sharing recording

Hi all

Can anybody tell me about how to get the mouse data in the recording of screen sharing? For playing recording I am playing the flv that I have dumped on my server from lccs.

Thanks.

Well, we officially don't support this, but the data is in one of the "other" FLV files (containing data messages). Not sure of which one, on the top of my head (but I am guessing the name is related to your screensharing object id) but the content should be a series of calls to publishItem with the mouse coordinates and more stuff.

You'll need an FLV parser to extract the data but again, it should be just a bunch of calls at the right timestamp (that you'll have somehow "mix" back with the video stream). If you make any progress on this please let us know. I am sure other developers would be interested.

Hello

I worked with the "other" flv files and examined the metadata of these files which does not contain any thing about mouse coordinates and also none of the file is firing its mouseData.

Details:

I checked the following flv files:

  1. __PacingStream.flv
  2. __RootCollection.flv
  3. __StreamOffsets.flv
  4. A0B144F9-C3DC-ED4E-379E-56A30001D7DE.flv
  5. AVManager.flv
  6. FileManager.flv
  7. RoomManager.flv
  8. UserManager.flv

The metadata of these files is containing following information :

canSeekToEnd

createdby

audiocodecid

creationdate

videocodecid

duration

Please help that how can I get the required mouse data from these files.
