cuei is a SCTE-35 Parser lib written in Go.

Encoder/Decoder for SCTE-35

*️⃣ CUEI is the FourCC / identifier for SCTE-35, that's where I got the name.

• Parses SCTE-35 Cues from MPEGTS or Bytes or Base64 or Hex or Int or Octal or even Base 36.
• Parses SCTE-35 Cues spread over multiple MPEGTS packets
• Supports multi-packet PAT and PMT tables
• Supports multiple MPEGTS Programs and multiple SCTE-35 streams
• Encodes Time Signals and Splice Inserts with Descriptors and Upids.

Want to parse an MPEGTS video and print the SCTE-35? 🛰️

Do it in ten lines.

package main                        

import (

Parse base64 encoded SCTE-35

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/futzu/cuei"
)

func main(){

	cue := cuei.NewCue()
	data := "/DA7AAAAAAAAAP/wFAUAAAABf+/+AItfZn4AKTLgAAEAAAAWAhRDVUVJAAAAAX//AAApMuABACIBAIoXZrM="
        cue.Decode(data) 
        fmt.Println("Cue as Json")
        cue.Show()
}

Shadow a Cue struct method

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/futzu/cuei"
)

type Cue2 struct {
    cuei.Cue               		// Embed cuei.Cue
}
func (cue2 *Cue2) Show() {        	// Override Show
	fmt.Printf("%+v",cue2.Command)
}

func main(){
	var cue2 Cue2
	data := "/DA7AAAAAAAAAP/wFAUAAAABf+/+AItfZn4AKTLgAAEAAAAWAhRDVUVJAAAAAX//AAApMuABACIBAIoXZrM="
        cue2.Decode(data) 
        cue2.Show()
}

Call a shadowed method

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/futzu/cuei"
)

type Cue2 struct {
    cuei.Cue               		// Embed cuei.Cue
}
func (cue2 *Cue2) Show() {        	// Override Show
	fmt.Println("Cue2.Show()")
	fmt.Printf("%+v",cue2.Command) 
	fmt.Println("\n\ncuei.Cue.Show() from cue2.Show()")
	cue2.Cue.Show()			// Call the Show method from embedded cuei.Cue
}

func main(){
	var cue2 Cue2
	data := "/DA7AAAAAAAAAP/wFAUAAAABf+/+AItfZn4AKTLgAAEAAAAWAhRDVUVJAAAAAX//AAApMuABACIBAIoXZrM="
        cue2.Decode(data) 
        cue2.Show()
	
}

Use Dot notation to access SCTE-35 Cue values

/**
Show  the packet PTS time and Splice Command Name of SCTE-35 Cues
in a MPEGTS stream.
**/
package main

import (
	"os"
	"fmt"
	"github.com/futzu/cuei"
)

func main() {
	arg := os.Args[1]
	stream := cuei.NewStream()
	cues :=	stream.Decode(arg)
	for _,c := range cues {
		fmt.Printf("PTS: %v, Splice Command: %v\n",c.PacketData.Pts, c.Command.Name )
	}
}

Load JSON and Encode

• cuei can accept SCTE-35 data as JSON and encode it to Base64, Bytes, or Hex string.
• The function cuei.Json2Cue() accepts SCTE-35 JSON as input and returns a *cuei.Cue

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/futzu/cuei"
)

func main() {

	js := `{
    "InfoSection": {
        "Name": "Splice Info Section",
        "TableID": "0xfc",

        "SectionLength": 42,
        "ProtocolVersion": 0,
        "EncryptedPacket": false,
        "EncryptionAlgorithm": 0,

        "ProgramSpliceFlag": true,
        "TimeSpecifiedFlag": true,
        "PTS": 23683.480033
    },
    "DescriptorLoopLength": 10,
    "Descriptors": [
        {
            "Length": 8,
            "Identifier": "CUEI",
            "Name": "Avail Descriptor"
        }
    ],
    "Crc32": "0xd7165c79"
}
`
cue :=  cuei.Json2Cue(js)    // 
cue.AdjustPts(28.0)   	 // Apply pts adjustment
fmt.Println("\nBytes:\n\t", cue.Encode())	// Bytes
fmt.Println("\nBase64:\n\t",cue.Encode2B64())  	// Base64
fmt.Println("\nHex:\n\t",cue.Encode2Hex()) 	// Hex

cuei.Stream

Custom Cue Handling for MPEGTS Streams

Four Steps

1. Create Stream Instance
2. Read Bytes from the video stream (in multiples of 188)
3. Call Stream.DecodeBytes(Bytes)
4. Process [] *Cue returned by Stream.DecodeBytes

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "github.com/futzu/cuei"
        "os"
)

func main() {

  arg := os.Args[1]
  stream := cuei.NewStream()  //   (1)
  bufSize := 32768 * 188   // Always read in multiples of 188
  file, err := os.Open(arg)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Unable to read %v\n", arg)
  }
  buffer := make([]byte, bufSize)
  for {
  	_, err := file.Read(buffer)   //  (2)
	if err != nil {
		break
	}
	cues := stream.DecodeBytes(buffer)  // (3)

	for _, c := range cues {  //   (4)
		fmt.Printf(" %v, %v\n", c.PacketData.Pts, c.Encode2B64())
	}
  }
}

Custom Cue Handling for MPEGTS Streams Over Multicast

Need a multicast sender? Try gums

for multicast we use the same four steps,
the only difference is we read the bytes from the network instead of a local file.

1. Create Stream Instance
2. Read Bytes from the video stream (in multiples of 188)
3. Call Stream.DecodeBytes(Bytes)
4. Process [] *Cue returned by Stream.DecodeBytes

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/futzu/cuei"
	"os"
        "net"
)


func main() {
  arg := os.Args[1]
  stream := cuei.NewStream()  //  (1)
  stream.Quiet = true
  dgram:=1316  // <-- multicast dgram size is 1316 (188*7) for mpegts
  bufSize := 100 * dgram
  addr, _ := net.ResolveUDPAddr("udp", arg)
  l, _ := net.ListenMulticastUDP("udp", nil, addr)  // Multicast Connection 
  l.SetReadBuffer(bufSize)
  for {
	buffer := make([]byte, bufSize)  // (2)
	l.ReadFromUDP(buffer)
	cues := stream.DecodeBytes(buffer)   //  (3)
	for _, c := range cues {      //  (4)
		fmt.Printf(" %v, %v\n", c.PacketData.Pts, c.Encode2B64())
	}
  }
}
