What?
-----
KLV_Data is a Python library for parsing and constructing Key Length Value (KLV_) formatted binary streams. Common uses of the library would be parsing and displaying `MISB ST`_ 0601 Unmanned Air System (UAS) metadata from `STANAG 4609`_ compliant `MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS) (MPEG-TS)`_. Note that KLV_Data alone cannot de-mux KLV data from an MPEG-2 TS, but programs like FFmpeg_ and GStreamer_ can be used with KLV_Data in the workflow to perform the function.

Quick Start
-----------
First:

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install klvdata

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paretech/klvdata/master/data/DynamicConstantMISMMSPacketData.bin

$ cat << EOF > klvdata_test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, klvdata;
for packet in klvdata.StreamParser(sys.stdin.buffer.read()): packet.structure()
EOF

And then:

.. code-block:: console

$ ./klvdata_test.py < DynamicConstantMISMMSPacketData.bin

If you have FFmpeg installed and want to try it on real video from a drone with embedded KLV metadata (~97 MB Download):

.. code-block:: console

$ wget http://samples.ffmpeg.org/MPEG2/mpegts-klv/Day%20Flight.mpg
$ ffmpeg -i data/Day\ Flight.mpg -map data-re -codec copy -f data - | ./klvdata_test.py
