Sidecar Files

  • Sidecar files are an easy way to insert SCTE-35 into MPEGTS streams or HLS manifests. It's a simplier SCTE-104.
a@debian:~/x9k3$ cat sidecar.txt

38103.868589, /DAxAAAAAAAAAP/wFAUAAABdf+/+zHRtOn4Ae6DOAAAAAAAMAQpDVUVJsZ8xMjEqLYemJQ== 
38199.918911, /DAsAAAAAAAAAP/wDwUAAABef0/+zPACTQAAAAAADAEKQ1VFSbGfMTIxIxGolm0=

  • line format for sidecar file is insert_pts, cue ,

    • like 38103.868589, /DAxAAAAAAAAAP/wFAUAAABdf+/+zHRtOn4Ae6DOAAAAAAAMAQpDVUVJsZ8xMjEqLYemJQ==

  • pts is the insert time for the cue, cue can be base64,hex, int, or bytes.

  • The insert_pts has to be valid for the video, meaning if your insert_pts is 38103.868589, the video PTS has to be less than 38103.868589 for the cue to be inserted.

  • Sidecar files can be made manually or generated by threefive

    • Generate a sidecar file from an existing video
    threefive sidecar video.ts
    • Will generate a sidecar file named sidecar.txt with the Cues from video.ts

  • Insert SCTE-35 Cues from a sidecar file into an mpegts file.

    • threefive inject [input video] with [sidecar file] at [pid of new SCTE-35 stream]
a@fu:~/build/SCTE35_threefive$ threefive inject video.ts with ~/sidecar.txt at 777
