πŸ’– MP4AddRtpImmediateData πŸ’–

okay bestie, so we're in the MP4(3) page from the MP4 File Format Library and this one's all about slipping a lil extra something into your RTP packets. no cap, it's a whole vibe. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

MP4AddRtpImmediateData β€” literally just: add immediate data to an RTP packet. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's iconic, she serves. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

first things first, you gotta pull her in:

#include <mp4.h>

then here's the summoning circle:

bool MP4AddRtpImmediateData(
     MP4FileHandle hFile,
     MP4TrackId hintTrackId,
     u_int8_t* pBytes,
     u_int32_t numBytes
);

look at her. four little args. so demure. so mindful. πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • hFile β€” the mp4 file you're doing this whole operation to. which file? yeah, this one. πŸ—‚οΈ
  • hintTrackId β€” the hint track that this operation applies to. you gotta tell her which track is the main character here. ✨
  • pBytes β€” a pointer to the immediate data that should get included in the current RTP packet. it's a pointer, so be normal about it. πŸ™ˆ
  • numBytes β€” how long that immediate data is, in bytes. the length. the amount. the size. numBytes fr fr. πŸ“

🫢 RETURN VALUES 🫢

  • success? you get true (1). slay. πŸŽ‰
  • error? you get false (0). and you will simply have to deal. 😭

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so MP4AddRtpImmediateData adds immediate data to the current pending RTP packet. like, the one that's still waiting. the one that hasn't gone out the door yet. ⏳

typically, this is what you use to add RTP payload specific headers to RTP packets. that's the use case, that's the moment, that's her purpose. πŸ’–

⚠️ okay so here's the part where you actually pay attention bestie: the size of a block of immediate data is limited to 14 bytes. fourteen. one-four. that's the cap. πŸ’€

but wait β€” plot twist β€” if you need more space, you can add multiple immediate data blocks. so like, she's limited but she's not limited limited. stack 'em up, queen. 🧚
