Hi,
I have some queries regarding VLC player :

Is there any way to know if a stream has SCTE 35 message embedded into it or not ?

If i am streaming MPEG2 embedded with SCTE 35 message, will VLC strip off the SCTE 35 message before streaming ?

It depends on what kind of streaming you do. Also, by default, VLC will likely not stream stuff it does not recognize, but i'm quite sure there is a flag for something like that.

If you fully want to support it, you would have to implement:
http://www.scte.org/documents/pdf/ANSISCTE352004.pdf

This first should be implemented in libdvbpsi (might even already be there, but I did not check). Secondly, said information should then be handled in VLC's modules/demux/ts.c sourcecodefile. It should be easy enough to do this, and VLC would then be able to RECOGNIZE the events (but doing something with it is a whole other cup of tea of course.) We (both libdvbpsi and VLC) would more than welcome any patches in that area.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I need do learn about the vlc software architecture and the changes that i need to do. Could you pls point me to the documentation specific to the changed need to be done for supporting SCTE35 streaming.

Unfortunately, there is no truly uptodate comprehensive developper documentation.
