Ffmpeg and threefive and SCTE-35

ffmpeg changes SCTE-35 stream type from 0x86 to 0x6 when transcoding.

threefive parses both stream type 0x86 and 0x6.
the threefive cli tool can convert the stream type back to 0x86

threefive sixfix video.ts

the output video will be named sixfixed-video.ts
threefive can handle ffmpeg rewriting SCTE-35 packets

When transcoding video containing SCTE-35 wiith ffmpeg make sure to retain the original PTS and iframe locations.

use -copyts
use -muxpreload 0 -muxdelay 0

ffmpeg -copyts -i video.ts [other ffmpeg stuff] -muxpreload 0 -muxdelay 0 outvideo.ts

How to retain SCTE-35 when using ffmpeg to segment ABR HLS Live.

This can be done in realtime on live streams
create a sidecar file of the SCTE-35 Cues with threefive proxy
pipe the MPEGTS from threefive to ffmpeg
Create renditions and master.m3u8 with ffmpeg

threefive mpegts proxy video.ts | ffmpeg -copyts -i - [..ffmpeg stuff..] master.m3u8

Start threefive to inject SCTE-35 back into the HLS

threefive hls encode -i master.m3u8 -s sidecar.txt -o output_dir

threefive will process the renditions from the master.m3u8 and add SCTE-35 Cues from the sidecar file live.
SCTE-35 is translated to HLS tags. All SCTE-35 HLS Tags are Supported.
SCTE-35 is added to new manifest files in output_dir
Original segments from ffmpeg are used. Segments are split if needed for Cue Outs.
