Versions and Releases

Every time I fix a bug or add a feature, I do a new release.
This makes tracking down bugs and stuff much easier.
Keep up, I do releases for reasons.

Cue Class
  • src cue.py
  • The threefive.Cue class decodes a SCTE35 binary, base64, or hex encoded string.

image

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.

'descriptors': []}
  • 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)
 |      Cue.show prints the Cue as JSON
  • Cue.to_stderr()
 |  to_stderr(self)
 |      Cue.to_stderr prints the Cue
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)
        while True:
            cue = st.decode_next()

                if cue.command.command_type ==6:
                    print(cue.command)


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

Stream.show() Example

>>>> from threefive import Stream

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.

Example Usage:

>>> from threefive import Cue,upids
>>> i="/DBKAAAAAAAAAP/wBQb+YtC8/AA0AiZDVUVJAAAD6X/CAAD3W3ACEmJibG5kcHBobkQCAsGDpQIAAAAAAAEKQ1VFSRSAIyowMljRk9c="

>>> upids.charset
'ascii'
>>> cue=Cue(i)
>>> cue.decode()
ascii
True
>>> cue.descriptors[0].segmentation_upid
'bblndpphnD\x02\x02���\x02\x00\x00'

>>> upids.charset="utf16"
>>> cue.decode()
utf16
True
>>> cue.descriptors[0].segmentation_upid

Custom Private Splice Descriptors ( new! )

threefive now supports custom private splice descriptors, right out the box.

  • 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
from threefive import Cue, TimeSignal
from threefive.descriptors import SpliceDescriptor

c = Cue()
  • add a Time Signal
c.command = TimeSignal()
c.command.time_specified_flag=True
