## `Quick Start` 


* Here's how to decode these SCTE-35 formats with threefive.
* This covers both the Cli tool and library.

<details><summary> MPEGTS </summary> </summary>
* MPEGTS streams can be  Files, Http(s), Multicast, UDP Unicast, or  stdin. 

* __cli__
```js
threefive https://example.com/video.ts
```
* wildcards work too.
```js
threefive /mpegts/*.ts
```

* __lib__
```py3

from threefive import Stream
stream = Stream('https://example.com/video.ts')
stream.decode()

```

</details>


<details><summary>Base64</summary>

* __cli__
```js
threefive '/DAsAAAAAyiYAP/wCgUAAAABf1+ZmQEBABECD0NVRUkAAAAAf4ABADUAAC2XQZU='
```
* __lib__
```py3

from threefive import Cue
data = '/DAsAAAAAyiYAP/wCgUAAAABf1+ZmQEBABECD0NVRUkAAAAAf4ABADUAAC2XQZU='
cue=Cue(data)
cue.show()
```

</details>


<details><summary>Bytes</summary>

* __cli__
	* Bytes don't work on the cli

* __lib__
```py3

from threefive import Cue
data =  b'\xfc0\x16\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xf0\x05\x06\xfe\x00\xc0D\xa0\x00\x00\x00\xb5k\x88'

## `SCTE-35 As a Service`
* Decode SCTE-35 without installing anything. If you can make an https request, you can use [__Sassy__](sassy.md) to decode SCTE-35. . 

## `Classes`
* The python built in help is always the most up to date docs for the library.

```py3

a@fu:~/build7/threefive$ pypy3

>>>> from threefive import Stream
>>>> help(Stream)

```

* [Class Structure](https://github.com/superkabuki/threefive/blob/main/classes.md)
* [Cue Class](https://github.com/superkabuki/threefive/blob/main/cue.md)  Cue is the main SCTE-35 class to use. 
* [Stream Class](https://github.com/superkabuki/threefive/blob/main/stream.md)  The Stream class handles MPEGTS SCTE-35 streams local, Http(s), UDP, and Multicast.

#### The cli tool installs automatically with pip or the Makefile.

* [__SCTE-35 Inputs__](#inputs)
* [__SCTE-35 Outputs__](#outputs)
* [Parse __MPEGTS__ streams for __SCTE-35__](#streams)
* [Parse __SCTE-35__ in __hls__](#hls)

* [Display raw __SCTE-35 packets__ from __video streams__](#packets)
* [__Repair SCTE-35 streams__ changed to __bin data__ by __ffmpeg__](#sixfix)

#### `Inputs`

* Most __inputs__ are __auto-detected.__ 
* __stdin__ is __auto selected__ and __auto detected.__
* __SCTE-35 data is printed to stderr__
* __stdout is used when piping video__
* mpegts can be specified by file name or URI.
```rebol

```
* If a file comtains a SCTE-35 cue as a string( base64,hex,int,json,or xml+bin), redirect the file contents.
```rebol

  threefive < json.json  

 ```

* quoted strings(( base64,hex,int,json or xml+bin), can be passed directly on the command line as well.

## Stream Multicast with the threefive cli, it's easy.

* The threefive cli has long been a Multicast Receiver( client )
* The cli now comes with a builtin Multicast Sender( server).
 * __Start the Receiver first__
* It's optimized for MPEGTS (1316 byte Datagrams) but you can send any video or file.
* The defaults will work in most situations, you don't even have to set the address.
* threefive cli also supports UDP Unicast Streaming.
