Aman Karmani 98b76bb11f avformat/rtsp: add support for satip://
The SAT>IP protocol[1] is similar to RTSP. However SAT>IP servers
are assumed to speak only MP2T, so DESCRIBE is not used in the same
way. When no streams are active, DESCRIBE will return 404 according
to the spec (see section 3.5.7). When streams are active, DESCRIBE
will return a list of all current streams along with information
about their signal strengths.

Previously, attemping to use ffmpeg with a rtsp:// url that points
to a SAT>IP server would work with some devices, but fail due to 404
response on others. Further, if the SAT>IP server was already
streaming, ffmpeg would incorrectly consume the DESCRIBE SDP response
and join an existing tuner instead of requesting a new session with
the URL provided by the user. These issues have been noted by many
users across the internet[2][3][4].

This commit adds proper spec-compliant support for SAT>IP, including:

- support for the satip:// psuedo-protocol[5]
- avoiding the use of DESCRIBE
- parsing and consuming the com.ses.streamID response header
- using "Transport: RTP/AVP;unicast" because the optional "/UDP"
  suffix confuses some servers

This patch has been validated against multiple SAT>IP vendor devices:

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
