Detailed Description

Basic definition of an MPEG-2 transport packet.

Physically, an object of this class is exactly implemented as a 188-byte TS packets. It is safe to consider that arrays or vectors of this class have the physical layout of a transport stream.

For performance reason, there is no constructor. Uninitialized packets have undefined binary content.

void ts::TSPacket::setDTS ( const uint64_t &  dts)
inline

Replace the DTS value - 33 bits.

Parameters
[in]dtsThe new DTS value.

◆ samePayload()

bool ts::TSPacket::samePayload ( const TSPacket other) const

Check if this packet has the same payload as another one.

Parameters
[in]otherThe other packet to compare.
Returns
True if the two packets have a payload and these payloads are identical.

◆ isDuplicate()

bool ts::TSPacket::isDuplicate ( const TSPacket other) const

Check if this packet is a duplicate as another one.

A valid "true" pair of duplicate packets is made of two consecutive packets with same continuity counter and same payload. It must also have the same adaptation field, with the exception of the PCR which can (should?) be different.

Parameters
[in]otherThe other packet to compare.
Returns
True if the two packets have same PID, same CC and same payload.

◆ read()

std::istream & ts::TSPacket::read ( std::istream &  strm,
bool  check_sync = true,
Report report = (ts::CerrReport::Instance()) 
)

Read a packet from standard streams (binary mode).

Parameters
[in,out]strmA standard stream in input mode.
[in]check_syncIf true, the sync byte of the input packet is checked. If it is not valid, set the failbit of the stream.
[in,out]reportWhere to report errors.
Returns
A reference to the strm object.

◆ write()

std::ostream & ts::TSPacket::write ( std::ostream &  strm,
Report report = (ts::CerrReport::Instance()) 
) const

Write a packet to standard streams (binary mode).

Parameters
[in,out]strmA standard stream in output mode.
[in,out]reportWhere to report errors.
Returns
A reference to the strm object.

◆ display()

std::ostream & ts::TSPacket::display ( std::ostream &  strm,
uint32_t  flags = 0,
size_t  indent = 0,
size_t  size = PKT_SIZE 
) const

This method displays the content of a transport packet.

Parameters
[in,out]strmA standard stream in output mode (text mode).
[in]flagsIndicate which part must be dumped. If DUMP_RAW or DUMP_PAYLOAD is specified, flags from ts::UString::HexaFlags may also be used.
[in]indentIndicates the base indentation of lines.
[in]sizeMaximum size to display in the packet.
Returns
A reference to the strm object.

◆ copyFrom()

void ts::TSPacket::copyFrom ( const void *  source)

Init packet from a memory area.

Parameters
[in]sourceAddress of the memory area to read. Must contain at least PKT_SIZE bytes.

◆ copyTo()

void ts::TSPacket::copyTo ( void *  dest) const

Copy packet content to a memory area.

Parameters
[out]destAddress of the memory area to write. Must contain at least PKT_SIZE bytes.

◆ Copy() [1/3]

static void ts::TSPacket::Copy ( TSPacket dest,
const TSPacket source,
size_t  count = 1 
)
static

Copy contiguous TS packets.

Parameters
[out]destAddress of the first contiguous TS packet to write.
[in]sourceAddress of the first contiguous TS packet to read.
[in]countNumber of TS packets to copy.

◆ Copy() [2/3]

static void ts::TSPacket::Copy ( TSPacket dest,
const uint8_t *  source,
size_t  count = 1 
)
static

Copy contiguous TS packets from raw memory.

Parameters
[out]destAddress of the first contiguous TS packet to write.
[in]sourceAddress of the memory area to read.
[in]countNumber of TS packets to copy.

◆ Copy() [3/3]

static void ts::TSPacket::Copy ( uint8_t *  dest,
const TSPacket source,
size_t  count = 1 
)
static

Copy contiguous TS packets into raw memory.

Parameters
[out]destAddress of the memory area to write.
[in]sourceAddress of the first contiguous TS packet to read.
[in]countNumber of TS packets to copy.

◆ Locate()

static bool ts::TSPacket::Locate ( const uint8_t *  buffer,
size_t  buffer_size,
size_t &  start_index,
size_t &  packet_count 
)
static

Locate contiguous TS packets into a buffer.

This static method is typically used to locate useful packets in a UDP datagram. Basically, we expect the message to contain only TS packets. However, we also face the following situations:

  • Presence of a header preceeding the first TS packet (typically when the TS packets are encapsulated in RTP).
  • Presence of a truncated packet at the end of message.

To face the first situation, we look backward from the end of the message, looking for a 0x47 sync byte every 188 bytes, going backward.

If no TS packet is found using the first method, we restart from the beginning of the message, looking for a 0x47 sync byte every 188 bytes, going forward. If we find this pattern, followed by less than 188 bytes, then we have found a sequence of TS packets.

Parameters
[in]bufferAddress of a message buffer containing TS packets.
[in]buffer_sizeSize in bytes of the buffer.
[out]start_indexStart index in bytes of the first TS packet in the buffer.
[out]packet_countNumber of TS packets in the buffer.
Returns
True if at least one packet was found, false if there is no packet in the buffer.

◆ SanityCheck()

static void ts::TSPacket::SanityCheck ( )
static

Sanity check routine.

Ensure that the TSPacket structure can be used in contiguous memory array and array of packets. Can be used once at startup time in paranoid applications. Abort application on error.
