  -p SCTE35_PID, --scte35_pid SCTE35_PID
                        Pid for SCTE-35 packets, can be hex or integer. (default 0x86)

• Use Superkabuki to insert time signal cues at every iframe.

superkabuki -i your_video.ts -o output.ts -t -p 0x197

• verify with threefive ( installs with superkabuki )

threefive output.ts

Sidecar Files

• Load scte35 cues from a Sidecar file.

a@debian:~/x9k3$ cat sidecar.txt

38103.868589, /DAxAAAAAAAAAP/wFAUAAABdf+/+zHRtOn4Ae6DOAAAAAAAMAQpDVUVJsZ8xMjEqLYemJQ== 
38199.918911, /DAsAAAAAAAAAP/wDwUAAABef0/+zPACTQAAAAAADAEKQ1VFSbGfMTIxIxGolm0= 

• line format for sidecar file is insert_pts, cue ,

  • like 38103.868589, /DAxAAAAAAAAAP/wFAUAAABdf+/+zHRtOn4Ae6DOAAAAAAAMAQpDVUVJsZ8xMjEqLYemJQ==

• pts is the insert time for the cue, cue can be base64,hex, int, or bytes.

• The insert_pts has to be valid for the video, meaning if your insert_pts is 38103.868589, the video PTS has to be less than 38103.868589 for the cue to be inserted.

• SuperKabuki with a sidecar file sidecar.txt, and SCTE-35 pid 0x86

superkabuki -i input_file -s sidecar.txt -p 0x86
