ramoncaldeira / frame_timestamp

WARNING

Tested on Dahua cams only, doesn't work on HiWatch DS-N241W

Frame Timestamp

Extracting absolute timestamp of each frame for RTSP stream(H.264)

Requirements

Compiled FFMpeg and sources, since timestamp extraction requires internal <libavformat/rtsp.h> header file.

Notes

export ff_src=$HOME/ffmpeg_sources
export ff_bld=$HOME/ffmpeg_build
