Hello all, I am working on some SCTE-35 stuff, which embeds PTS timestamps deep within the section payload. In order to pass through packets to an MPEG-TS output, I need the original PTS value that was used when the packet was received to calculate the correct offsets.
The way a typical ffmpeg-based application works is to read in the packets, and then recalculate the pts/dts fields prior to output using the existing fields. This results in loss of the original values. I need to stash the original PTS value somewhere within the AVPacket so I can use it for subsequent calculations on the output side. In my private tree I have done this through a new AVPacket side data type called "AV_PKT_DATA_ORIG_PTS", but it wasn't clear to me if such a patch would be accepted upstream. Alternatively, I can set a metadata field on the packet using av_packet_pack_dictionary() and use the existing AV_PKT_DATA_STRINGS_METADATA type. However that would require it to be converted to a string and back, and seems less than ideal. Does anyone have any other suggestions on a way the original received PTS value can be stashed within an AVPacket in a manner that would be accepted upstream?
