revid is a testbed for re-muxing and re-directing video streams as
|
|
|
|
|
MPEG-TS over various protocols.
|
|
|
|
|

# Description
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mode (-m) determine the mode of operation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* h = send HTTP (as a POST)
|
|
|
|
|
* u = send UDP
|
|
|
|
|
* r = send RTP
|
|
|
|
|
* f = write to /tmp files
|
|
|
|
|
* d = inspect packets and dump to screen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flags (-f) determine video filtering and other actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, to send as raw UDP to <PORT> on the current host, passing the video and audio as is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
revid -i <RTSP_URL> -m u -o udp://0.0.0.0:<PORT>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or, to post as HTTP to <HTTP_URL>, fixing PTS and dropping the audio along the way:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
revid -i <RTSP_URL> -m h -f 3 -o <HTTP_URL>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that revid appends the size of the video to the URL to supply a query param.
|
|
|
|
|
Append a ? to your <URL> if you don't need it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
List of flags:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* FilterFixPTS = 0x0001
|
|
|
|
|
* FilterDropAudio = 0x0002
|
|
|
|
|
* FilterScale640 = 0x0004
|
|
|
|
|
* FilterScale320 = 0x0008
|
|
|
|
|
* FilterFixContinuity = 0x0010
|
|
|
|
|
* DumpProgramInfo = 0x0100
|
|
|
|
|
* DumpPacketStats = 0x0200
|
|
|
|
|
* DumpPacketHeader = 0x0400
|
|
|
|
|
* DumpPacketPayload = 0x0800
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common flag combos:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 3: fix pts and drop audio
|
|
|
|
|
* 7: fix pts, drop audo and scale 640
|
|
|
|
|
* 17: fix pts and fix continuity
|
|
|
|
|
* 256: dump program info
|
|
|
|
|
* 512: dump packet stats
|
|
|
|
|
* 513: fix pts, plus above
|
|
|
|
|
* 529: fix pts and fix continuity, plus above
|

# Errors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you see "Error reading from ffmpeg: EOF" that means ffmpeg has
|
|
|
|
|
crashed for some reason, usually because of a bad parameter. Copy and
|
|
|
|
|
paste the ffmpeg command line into a terminal to see what is
|
|
|
|
|
happening.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RTSP feeds from certain cameras (such as TechView ones) do not
|
|
|
|
|
generate presentation timestamps (PTS), resulting in errors such as
|
|
|
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [mpegts @ 0xX] Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0...
|
|
|
|
|
* [mpegts @ 0xX] first pts value must be set
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can be fixed with an ffmpeg video filter (specified by flag 0x0001).
|
|
|
|
|
Another issue is that MPEG-TS continuity counters may not be continuous.
|
|
|
|
|
You can fix this with the fix continuity flag (0x0010).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg will also complain if doesn't have the necessary audio codec
|
|
|
|
|
installed. If so, you can drop the audio (flag 0x0002).

# MPEG-TS Notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MPEG2-TS stream clocks (PCR, PTS, and DTS) all have units of 1/90000
|
2017-09-13 08:00:26 +03:00
|
|
|
second and header fields are read as big endian (like most protocols).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* TEI = Transport Error Indicator
|
|
|
|
|
* PUSI = Payload Unit Start Indicator
|
|
|
|
|
* TP = Transport Priority
|
|
|
|
|
* TCS = Transport Scrambling Control
|
|
|
|
|
* AFC = Adapation Field Control
|
|
|
|
|
* CC = Continuity Counter
|
|
|
|
|
* AFL = Adapation Field Length
|
2017-09-14 01:58:38 +03:00
|
|
|
* PCR = Program Clock Reference
