iso 13818 stream multiplexer
this multiplexer is designed to run uninterruptedly on a streaming server, that propagates a number of iso 13818 broadcast streams, reorganizing the streams in realtime. I wrote it in 2001 for convergence gmbh, and they kindly released it finally as open source under the general public license (gpl) in 2003.
- features
-
- output is either a transport stream or a program stream
- input streams may be program streams, paketized elementary streams (PES) and transport stream, in any combination
- streams are kept in sync during multiplex, where possible
- normal real time operation obeys stream timing, but untimed operation is available for discfile conversion
- program information and stream compilation may be changed on the fly during operation
- program map table manipulation, descriptor filter/injection
- now includes an additional tool for EN 300468 SI table composition
what this multiplexer does not:
- it does neither check, unpack nor recode elementary streams, it does not even care for what data it shovels: just bytes
- it does not check system performance capacities, so when the cpu cannot do the work, timing faults in the resulting stream may occur, even when running it in untimed mode
