About:
Libdvbpsi is a lightweight C library designed for encoding and decoding MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) packets and DVB Program Specific Information (PSI) tables. It provides developers with the essential tools to parse and generate tables like PAT, PMT, and NIT, which are crucial for managing digital television streams. Its primary value is enabling the creation of custom DVB applications, such as set-top boxes and signal monitoring tools.

Key Features:

MPEG-2 TS packet synchronization and parsing
Encoding and decoding of DVB PSI tables (PAT, PMT, CAT, NIT, BAT, SDT)
Lightweight and portable C library
Simple API for integration into multimedia applications

Use Cases:

Building custom DVB set-top box software
Developing signal monitoring and analysis tools for broadcast streams
Creating applications that filter or modify PSI information in transport streams

Alternatives:

FFmpeg – FFmpeg is a much larger multimedia framework that includes PSI parsing but is heavier to integrate if only PSI functionality is needed.
