[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 5/6] avformat/mpegtsenc: fix PCR generation intervals

Marton Balint cus at passwd.hu
Fri Aug 9 00:27:52 EEST 2019


PCR generation was based on counting packets for both CBR and VBR streams.
Couting packets might have worked for CBR streams (when muxrate was specified)
but it only took into account the packets of a service (or the packets of the
PCR stream lately), so even that was problematic for multi program streams.

The new code works on actual PCR for CBR and packet DTS values for VBR streams,
so the default 20ms PCR retransmission time is now respected for both CBR and
VBR.

The accuracy of PCR packets for CBR streams was greatly improved by preemtively
sending them at PCR intervals even if sending the payload of another stream
is in progress.
