rtp

This python library provides a means to decode, encode, and interact with RTP packets. It is intended to be used together with other libraries that decode, encode, and interact with the payload bitstreams. This library does not provide any network functionality.

Installation

pip install rtp

Example usage

from rtp import RTP, Extension, PayloadType
from copy import deepcopy

baseRTP = RTP(
    marker=True,
    payloadType=PayloadType.L16_2chan,
    extension=Extension(
        startBits=getExtStartBits(),
        headerExtension=getExtBody()
        ),
    csrcList=getCSRCList()
)
thisRTPBitstream = thisRTP.toBytearray()

while runing:
    nextRTP = deepcopy(baseRTP)
    nextRTP.sequenceNumber += 1
    nextRTP.timestamp = getNextTimestamp()
    nextRTP.payload = getNextPayload()

    transmit(nextRTP)

from rtp import RTP

decodedPayload = MyPayloadDecoder(
    RTP().fromBytearray(getNextPacket()).payload)

render(decodedPayload)
