[Live-devel] testRTSPClient / H.264 Network Camera Stream

[Markus Schumann]

I decode H.264 from a network camera.

My decoder wants SPS/PPS once before the first I-frame in band delivered.
So I wait until I get the first I-frame and then insert 0x0000001/SPS/0x0000001/PPS before the I-frame.
Interestingly - one of the cameras I test with sends SPS/PPS inside the RTP stream - I drop those SPS/PPSs.

But you are right - it's decoder dependent.

Markus.

After you parse the nal records from parseSPropParameterSets, store them.

For each sample that comes through, construct the buffer you send to your upstream decoder like this:

Where start_code is 4 bytes 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01

[start_code][NAL_record_1][start_code][NAL_record_2][start_code][sample_data]

There may be some more correct way, but this has worked for me.  Also some h264 decoders are different in how they except NAL units, so you may want to check with the documentation.
