[Libav-user] EXTERNAL: Re: AV_CODEC_ID_SMPTE_KLV not recognized

[Sears, Zachary]

Thanks for the quick reply, I started down that path and do have code that generates valid TS packets with KLV data, from what you're saying it sounds like that was the right path to take.  I guess the problem that I keep getting hung up on after that is how to create the additional stream to have a type of AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO and at least an id of AV_CODEC_ID_SMPTE_KLV, from the output of ffprobe it certainly seems like this is recognized by ffmpeg but I can't figure out how to do it.  For the video stream at least I do avformat_new_stream(avFormatContext, avCodec), but since there is no codec for the KLV data (NULL is returned from avcodec_find_encoder), I guess I am a little confused on how to get to that point.  The end that I need to find eventually is getting down to av_interleaved_write_frame where the AVFormatContext has a valid data stream.

I started with the muxing.C example and have everything working as far as creating a valid MPEG-TS video, but when I try and include the KLV stream the encoder can't be found.  In particular it is failing when I try AVCodec *codec = avcodec_find_encoder(AV_CODEC_ID_SMPTE_KLV), it returns with a failure to open the encoder.  When I add the video stream the codec id is AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO which it finds perfectly fine and everything works just fine.  I am using ffmpeg 2.1.4.

Could it just be that I missed a flag at compile time, or simply need a newer version of FFMPEG?

I have no idea what KLV is, but looking at the source, it seems KLV is supported for demuxing and muxing (in libavformat), but there are no encoders or decoders. I assume this means you have to interpret/generate KLV data yourself.
