[FFmpeg-user] RTP/H264 Decoding - DTS is not set

Hi there,
(Context: RTSP H264 decoding for IP cameras)
After some reading I found in the RTP Payload format for H.264 that:
"The RTP timestamp is set to the sampling timestamp of the content. A 90
kHz clock rate MUST be used."
From which I assume that if a camera does not send timing info in the
SPS; I must assume the RTP timestamps have a 90kHz timebase.
I set my codecCtx as such:
pCodecCtx->time_base.num = 1;
pCodecCtx->time_base.den = 90000;
pCodecCtx->ticks_per_frame = 1; // <- default???
Still, no matter what I change, my decoding pipeline never sets any
timestamp. After calling avcodec_decode_video2 I get:
myAvFrame->pts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
myAvFrame->pkt_pts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
myAvFrame->pkt_dts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
myAvPacket->pts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
myAvPacket->dts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
Which makes no sense to me, at this point I'm unable to synchronize as I
don't know the timestamp for my frame.
I do have timestamps for each of the packets I send to
avcodec_decode_video2, but they are not increasingly monotonic
(B-frames) and I don't know which one to use for the decoded frame.
Any help is welcome
