Is it possible to get information from ID3 tag metadata embedded in HLS stream in Safari?

I have an HLS stream that streams a live feed with embedded ID3 PRIV Tag to mark a certain points in stream. Is it possible to get notified or somehow retrieved the data from these tags in Safari, ideally via Javascript?

Sure, this is possible using JavaScript functions, like:

video.textTracks.addEventListener('addtrack', function(addTrackEvent) {
  var track  = addTrackEvent.track;
  track.mode = 'hidden';

  track.addEventListener('cuechange', function(cueChangeEvent) {
    // some processing here...
  });
});

This is basically based on an answer from this question about ID3 tags on iOS.
