Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UHD accessing metadata

[Josh Blum]

gnuradio does not offer any kind of sample decoration. So, the metadata 
is present in the simple uhd source block, and dropped on its way out of 
the block.

You would need to make some kind of c++ app in gnuradio or maybe 
standalone to deal with the metatdata. I dont know another way.

Also, the uhd comes with an example app called rx_timed_samples.cpp, you 
may want to take a look at this to see how the api deals with the 
metadata. I will expand this example to include clock configuration when 
i get the chance as well.

I hope that helps,
