About

Open source implementation of Audio Video Transport Protocol (AVTP) specified in IEEE 1722-2016 spec.

Libavtp is under BSD License. For more information see LICENSE file.

Build

Before building libavtp make sure you have all the required software installed in your system. Below are the requirements and their tested versions:

  • Meson >= 0.43
  • Ninja >= 1.8.2

The first step to build libavtp is to generate the build system files.

$ meson build

Then build libavtp by running the following command. The building artifacts will be created under the build/ in the top-level directory.

$ ninja -C build

To install libavtp on your system run:

$ sudo ninja -C build install

AVTP Formats Support

AVTP protocol defines several AVTPDU type formats (see Table 6 from IEEE 1722-2016 spec). Libavtp doesn't support all of them yet. The list of supported formarts is:

  • AAF (PCM encapsulation only)
  • CRF
  • CVF (H.264 only)

Examples

The examples/ directory in the top-level directory provides example applications which demonstrate the libavtp functionalities. To build an example application run $ ninja -C build <example name>.

Information about what exactly each example application does and how it works is provided in the beginning of the .c file from each application.
