Accessing non-video streams in MPEGTS [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Durrand, Paul (Contractor)]

UNCLASSIFIED

I am working with GStreamer to read and write MPEG TS files ultimately in an application. I am able to play the video stream using the following command:

gst-launch-0.10 -e filesrc location=cars.mpg ! mpegtsdemux ! ffdec_mpeg2video ! xvimagesink

What I am now trying to understand is how to read and write to non audio/video streams. I have a stream in the MPEGTS which contains KLV metadata. I have code which will decode and encode the information but I am unsure how to select the specific stream which contains the data with GStreamer.

 

Can anyone provide some guidance?

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

  Unfortunately private streams aren't exposed in mpeg-ts demuxers.

  If those private streams contain only metadata, you can 'just' push
them as tags on the other audio/video streams.

  And you'd have to do the same thing for muxing (collect the tags and
create your private streams).

  What metadata exactly do those contain ?

Thanks for the response Edward.

We are using the SMPTE-336M
(http://store.smpte.org/product-p/st%200336-2007.htm) for KLV and then
using MISB 0601.4
(http://www.gwg.nga.mil/misb/docs/standards/Standard060104.pdf) and MISB
0102.6 (http://www.gwg.nga.mil/misb/docs/standards/Standard010206.pdf)
local data sets. This stream has timecoding to ensure the metadata is
associated with the appropriate frame.

I am doing the encoding and decoding myself, I just need access to the
raw data in the specific stream to read and write to.
