GStreamer H264 video and KLV mpegtsmux error

Hello guys! I need your help! I have a .ts video file that carries H264 video and KLV metadata stream. I need to demux the video, overlay an image on video and create a new .ts file with it and the same KLV stream.
I’ve tried different approaches using GStreamer without success. The following pipeline is the simplest version I’ve tried:

gst-launch-1.0 -t -v --gst-debug=3 filesrc location=/home/ubuntu/videoTeste.ts ! tsdemux name=demux demux. ! h264parse ! “video/x-h264” ! avdec_h264 ! x264enc bitrate = 10000 ! video/x-h264, profile=baseline ! queue ! mpegtsmux name=encod encod. ! filesink location=/home/ubuntu/teste.ts async=false demux. ! “meta/x-klv” ! queue ! encod.

Seems to be a sync problem between the H264 frames and the KLV chunks, I think…
I’ve tried changing the place of the queues, using a “tee” after filesrc and using separated demux, multiqueue…
I’m able to create a .ts file with H264 video only and I’m also able to extract and save to a file the KLV data. I’m even able to do this in the same pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 -t -v --gst-debug=0 filesrc location=/home/ubuntu/videoTeste.ts ! tee name=t t. ! queue ! tsdemux name=demux demux. ! h264parse ! “video/x-h264” ! avdec_h264 ! x264enc bitrate = 10000 ! video/x-h264, profile=baseline ! mpegtsmux name=encod encod. ! filesink location=/home/ubuntu/teste.ts async=false t. ! queue ! tsdemux ! “meta/x-klv” ! filesink location=/home/ubuntu/klv.dat async=false

Do you have any suggestions to solve this?

Thank you!

Sorry for the late response, have you managed to get issue resolved? Thanks

Hi,
By default hardware decoder only processes compressed stream. This is metadata and would need 3rdparty software stacks to handle it. Please check if information in this website helps:
GStreamer In-Band Metadata for MPEG Transport Stream - MPEG TS Metadata Basics
You may contact RidgeRun for further help.

Hello DaneLLL,
Thank you. Is a 3rdparty software needed even when the original .TS file has the KLV metadata? Resuming, the loaded .TS file has the video (No audio) and KLV metadata. After the tsdemux I can get both channels. Do I still need a “dedicated” pipeline module to process the KLV metadata somehow before sending it to mpegtsmux?

Hi,
We don’t have experience about KLV metadata. Would suggest contact RidgeRun for further support.
