Pythonic SCTE-35.

Project description

threefive Is The Most Advanced SCTE35 Parser lib Available, probably.


Requirements

  • threefive requires pypy3 or python 3.6+
    • (pypy3 runs threefive 4x Faster than python3)
  • threefive 2.3.02+ requires crcmod for encoding and pyaes for decrypting.

Install

pip3 install threefive

# for pypy3
pypy3 -m pip install threefive

Versions and Releases

Release versions are odd. Unstable testing versions are even.

threefive.version() returns the version as a string.

threefive.version_number() returns an int for easy version comparisons.


Easy threefive

threefive.decode is a SCTE-35 decoder function with input type auto-detection. Base64, Binary, Hex Strings,Hex literals, Integers, Mpegts files and Mpegts HTTP/HTTPS Streams

SCTE-35 data can be parsed with just one function call.

the arg stuff is the input. if stuff is not set, decode will attempt to read from sys.stdin.buffer.

if stuff is a file, the file data will be read and the type of the data will be autodetected and decoded.

SCTE-35 data is printed in JSON format.

Examples:

Base64
import threefive 

stuff = '/DAvAAAAAAAA///wBQb+dGKQoAAZAhdDVUVJSAAAjn+fCAgAAAAALKChijUCAKnMZ1g='
threefive.decode(stuff)
Bytes
import threefive 

payload = b'\xfc0\x11\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff\xff\x00\x00\x00O%3\x96'
threefive.decode(payload)
Hex String
import threefive 

stuff = '0XFC301100000000000000FFFFFF0000004F253396'
threefive.decode(stuff)
Hex Literal
import threefive 

threefive.decode(0XFC301100000000000000FFFFFF0000004F253396)
Integer
big_int = 1439737590925997869941740173214217318917816529814
threefive.decode(big_int)
Mpegts File

Advanced threefive


Cue Class

  • src cue.py
  • The threefive.Cue class decodes a SCTE35 binary, base64, or hex encoded string.
  • threefive.Cue provides several methods to access the parsed data.
    >>>> import threefive
    >>>> Base64 = "/DAvAAAAAAAA///wBQb+dGKQoAAZAhdDVUVJSAAAjn+fCAgAAAAALKChijUCAKnMZ1g="
    >>>> cue = threefive.Cue(Base64)

cue.decode() returns True on success,or False if decoding failed

    >>>> cue.decode()
    True

After Calling cue.decode() the instance variables can be accessed via dot notation.

    >>>> cue.command
    {'calculated_length': 5, 'name': 'Time Signal', 'time_specified_flag': True, 'pts_time': 21695.740089}

    >>>> cue.command.pts_time
    21695.740089

    >>>> cue.info_section.table_id

    '0xfc'

When parsing SCTE35 Cues from MPEGTS streams, threefive attempts to include as many of the following as possible.'

  • pid of the packet
  • program of the pid
  • pts of the packet
  • pcr of the packet

  • call one or more of these methods after decode.
Cue Method Description
cue.get() returns cue as a dict
cue.get_json() returns cue as a JSON string
cue.show() prints cue as JSON

Stream Class

 threefive.Stream(tsdata, show_null = False)
  • src stream.py
  • The threefive.Stream class parses SCTE35 messages from a file or stream.
  • Supports
  • __file and http(s) URIs directly. * Multiple Programs. * Multiple SCTE35 Streams. * Multi-Packet PAT, PMT, and SCTE35 tables. * Constant Data Parsing. * threefive.Stream is designed to run continuously
Method Description
Stream.show() Prints Streams that will be checked for SCTE35
Stream.decode(func=show_cue) Prints SCTE-35 cues for SCTE-35 packets. Accepts an optional function, func, as arg.
Stream.decode_next() Returns the next SCTE35 cue as a threefive.Cue instance.
Stream.decode_program(the_program=None, func=show_cue) Same as Stream.decode except only packets where program == the_program
Stream.decode_proxy(func=show_cue) Same as Stream.decode except raw packets are written to stdout for piping to another program.

Stream.show()

  • List programs and streams that will be checked for SCTE35 data.
>>>> from threefive import Stream
>>>> Stream('https://slo.me/plp0.ts').show()

Stream.decode(func=show_cue)

import sys
from threefive import Stream
>>>> Stream('plp0.ts').decode()
  • Pass in custom function

  • func should match the interface func(cue)

import sys
import threefive

def display(cue):
   print(f'\033[92m{cue.packet_data}\033[00m')
   print(f'{cue.command.name}')

def do():
   sp = threefive.Stream(tsdata)
   sp.decode(func = display)       

if __name__ == '__main__':
    do()

Stream.decode_next()

  • Stream.decode_next returns the next SCTE35 cue as a threefive.Cue instance.
import sys
import threefive

def do():
    arg = sys.argv[1]
    with open(arg,'rb') as tsdata:
        st = threefive.Stream(tsdata)
        while True:
            cue = st.decode_next()
            if not cue:
                return False
            if cue:
                cue.show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    do()

Stream.decode_program(the_program, func = show_cue)

  • Use Stream.decode_program() instead of Stream.decode() to decode SCTE-35 from packets where program == the_program
import threefive
threefive.Stream('35.ts').decode_program(1)

Stream.decode_proxy(func = show_cue)

  • Writes all packets to sys.stdout.

  • Writes scte35 data to sys.stderr.

import threefive
sp = threefive.Stream('https://futzu.com/xaa.ts')
sp.proxy_decode()
  • Pipe to mplayer
$ python3 proxy.py | mplayer -
