FrameDataView.GetSessionMetaData

Parameters

Returns

NativeArray<T> Returns the session metadata as a NativeArray.

Description

Retrieves the metadata of the session this frame occurred in as a NativeArray.

Use GetSessionMetaData to retrieve the data that the Profiler.EmitSessionMetaData method wrote to the Profiler stream. Profiler data can contain frames from different sessions.

Use id to identify the metadata from your Project or package.
Use tag to distinguish between different data streams.
Use index to retrieve separate data chunks for each Profiler.EmitSessionMetaData called during the profiling session.

    {
        using (var frameData = ProfilerDriver.GetRawFrameDataView(frame, 0))
        {
            NativeArray<TextureInfo> textureInfos = frameData.GetSessionMetaData<TextureInfo>(MyProjectId, TextureInfoTag);
            if (textureInfos.Length == 0)
                return null;

            NativeArray<byte> textureData = frameData.GetSessionMetaData<byte>(MyProjectId, TextureDataTag);
            if (textureData.Length == 0)
                return null;

            TextureInfo textureInfo = textureInfos[0];
            Texture2D texture = new Texture2D(textureInfo.w, textureInfo.h, (TextureFormat)textureInfo.format, false);
            texture.LoadRawTextureData(textureData);

            return texture;
        }
    }
}

Note:
The FrameDataView instance defines the lifetime of the returned ''NativeArray'. As such, if FrameDataView is disposed, all returned metadata becomes invalid and cannot be used. Copy data to a new NativeArray if you need it for longer duration.
