Super Kabuki SCTE-35 patch for FFmpeg.

...why?

If you work with SCTE-35 and you use ffmpeg,
having the SCTE-35 stream type 0x86 changed to bin data 0x06, makess life hard.

How does it work?

• The patch is only nine lines of code, it allows you copy a SCTE-35 stream over as SCTE-35, when you're encoding with ffmpeg.
• The patch also adds the SCTE-35 Descriptor (CUEI / 0x49455543) , just to be fancy.
• Everything else works just like unpatched ffmpeg.

Install

1. git clone https://github.com/superkabuki/FFmpeg_SCTE35.git

2. cd FFmpeg_SCTE35

3. ./configure --enable-shared --extra-version=-SuperKabuki-patch ( you can customize this as needed )

4. make all

5. sudo make install

How to use:

Use it just like unpatched FFmpeg.

Examples

1. Re-encode video to h.265, audio to aac, copy over the SCTE-35, and keep the timestamps.

ffmpeg -copyts -i input.ts -map 0 -c:v h265 -c:a aac -c:d copy -muxpreload 0 -muxdelay 0 output.ts

• ffmpeg command

• new file

2. Copy all streams including SCTE-35, cut the first 200 seconds, and keep the timestamps.

ffmpeg -copyts -ss 200 -i input.ts -map 0 -c copy -muxpreload 0 -muxdelay 0 output.ts

• original file
  image

• ffmpeg command

Notice the start time and duration have both changed by ~200 seconds.
