Cue Class
- src cue.py
- The threefive.Cue class decodes a SCTE35 binary, base64, or hex encoded string.
class Cue(threefive.base.SCTE35Base)
| Cue(data=None, packet_data=None)
| __init__(self, data=None, packet_data=None)
| data may be packet bites or encoded string
| packet_data is a instance passed from a Stream instance
Cue.decode()
| decode(self)
| Cue.decode() parses for SCTE35 data
- 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'
Cue.get()
| get(self)
| Cue.get returns the SCTE-35 Cue
| data as a dict of dicts.
Cue.get() Example
>>> from threefive import Cue
>>> cue = Cue('0XFC301100000000000000FFFFFF0000004F253396')
>>> cue.decode()
True
>>> cue

'command': {'command_length': None, 'command_type': 0, 'name': 'Splice Null'},
'descriptors': [], 'packet_data': None}
- Cue.get() omits cue.bites and empty values
>>> cue.get()
{'info_section': {'table_id': '0xfc', 'section_syntax_indicator': False,'private': False, 'sap_type': '0x3',

Cue.get_descriptors()
| get_descriptors(self)
| Cue.get_descriptors returns a list of
| SCTE 35 splice descriptors as dicts.
Cue.get_json()
| get_json(self)
| Cue.get_json returns the Cue instance
| data in json.
Cue.show()
| show(self)

Stream Class
-
src stream.py
-
The threefive.Stream class parses SCTE35 from Mpegts.
-
Supports:
- File and Http(s) and Udp and Multicast protocols.
- Multiple Programs.
- Multi-Packet PAT, PMT, and SCTE35 tables.
-
threefive tries to include pid, program, anf pts of the SCTE-35 packet.
class Stream(builtins.object)
| Stream(tsdata, show_null=True)
|
| Stream class for parsing MPEG-TS data.
| __init__(self, tsdata, show_null=True)
|
| tsdata is a file or http, https,
| udp or multicast url.
|
| set show_null=False to exclude Splice Nulls
Stream.decode(func=show_cue)
| decode(self, func=show_cue)
| Stream.decode reads self.tsdata to find SCTE35 packets.
| func can be set to a custom function that accepts
| a threefive.Cue instance as it's only argument.
Stream.decode Example
import sys
from threefive import Stream
>>>> Stream('plp0.ts').decode()
-
Pass in custom function
-
func should match the interface
func(cue)
Stream.decode with custom function Example
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()
| decode_next(self)
| Stream.decode_next returns the next
| SCTE35 cue as a threefive.Cue instance.
Stream.decode_next Example
"""
Stream.decode_next example.
decode_next returns the Cue every time a Cue is found.
This uses a while loop to pull the Cues from a mpegts stream.
When a Cue is found, if it's a Time Signal,
cue.command.command_type=6, print Cue.command.
You can filter on any var in the SCTE-35 Cue.
"""
import sys
import threefive
from new_reader import reader
def do():
arg = sys.argv[1]
with reader(arg) as tsdata:
st = threefive.Stream(tsdata)

return False
if cue:

if __name__ == "__main__":
do()
-
Stream.proxy(func = show_cue)
-
Writes all packets to sys.stdout.
-
Writes scte35 data to sys.stderr.
-
| decode(self, func=show_cue_stderr)
| Stream.decode_proxy writes all ts packets are written to stdout
| for piping into another program like mplayer.
| SCTE-35 cues are printed to stderr.
Stream.proxy Example
import threefive
sp = threefive.Stream('https://futzu.com/xaa.ts')
sp.decode_proxy()
- Pipe to mplayer
$ python3 proxy.py | mplayer -
Stream.show()
| show(self)
| List programs and streams and info for MPEGTS

-
Try cue2vtt.py in the examples.
- cue2vtt.py creates webvtt subtitles out of SCTE-35 Cue data
-
use it like this

Custom charsets for UPIDS aka upids.charset
Specify a charset for Upid data by setting threefive.upids.charset
issue #55
- default charset is ascii
- python charsets info Here
- setting charset to None will return raw bytes.

Custom Private Splice Descriptors ( new! )
- The first byte of the descriptor is read as an int for the Descriptor tag
- The second byte is read as an int for the desciptor length
- The next four bytes are read as ASCII for the Identifier
- remanining bytes are returned as private data
