Description
Currently, the
Packetize
method has a sanity check that the payloadbeing packetized is not of zero length; if is, then the function returns
without doing anything. This interacts poorly with pion's binding to
OpenH264, which simply returns payloads of zero length when
encode()
is called but a frame must be skipped for bandwidth limitation reasons.
The most straightforward use of these two APIs with each other leads to
a situation where an application reads an empty payload from OpenH264
and writes it into the Payloader directly. When this happens, the count
of samples is not advanced, leading to incorrect timestamps in the
generated RTP packets (which can cause A/V sync issues). This change
simply ensures that the Packetizer Timestamp gets updated under such
circumstances.
