A SCTE 35 Decoder for Mpeg-TS video, and Hex or Base64 messages

Project description

threefive

I welcome all feedback and ideas.

SCTE35 Decoder

  • Parse SCTE 35 messages from Mpeg Transport Streams and Binary files.
  • Parse SCTE 35 messages encoded in Base64, Binary, or Hex.

Fast Start Directions.

2019 Specification

SCTE35 2019 specification

Splice Commands

  • Splice Null
  • Splice Schedule (lightly tested)
  • Splice Insert
  • Time Signal
  • Bandwidth Reservation (lightly tested)

Splice Descriptors

  • DTMF Descriptor
  • Segmentation Descriptor
  • Segmentation UPID (partially implemented)
  • Segmentation Types and Messages
  • Time Descriptor
  • Audio Descriptor (lightly tested)

Dependencies

  • Python 3
  • bitn

Using threefive

Call threefive.decode.

  • mpegts files
  • binary files
  • base64 encoded strings
  • hex encoded strings
  • binary byte strings

Parse Mpegts Files

>>> import threefive
>>> threefive.decode('/path/to/mpegwithscte35.ts') 

Parse Binary Encoded Messages From a File

>>> import threefive
>>> stuff=threefive.decode('/mnt/build/file.bin')

Parse Base64 Encoded Messages

>>> import threefive
>>> mesg='/DBhAAAAAAAA///wBQb+qM1E7QBLAhdDVUVJSAAArX+fCAgAAAAALLLXnTUCAAIXQ1VFSUg/nwgIAAAAACyy150RAAACF0NVRUlIAAAnf58ICAAAAAAsstezEAAAihiGnw=='
>>> t=threefive.decode(mesg)

Parse Hex Encoded Messages

>>> import threefive
>>> u=threefive.decode('0xFC302F000000000000FFFFF014054800008F7FEFFE7369C02EFE0052CCF500000000000A0008435545490000013562DBA30A')

Parse Binary Byte String Messages

>>> import threefive
>>> f=open('/mnt/build/file.bin','rb').read()
>>> scte35=threefive.decode(f)
