I have a task to decode an RTP packet and extract the payload of this packet (audio data). In order to bypass all the RTP header fields, I have this function:
quint32 readNBitsByRange(quint32 position, quint32 count, const QByteArray &array)
{
quint32 accuml = 0;
while (count != 0) {
const quint32 l = (8 - position % 8);
const quint32 u = (l < count ? l : count);
const quint32 f = (8 - u);
accuml <<= u;
accuml |= ((*(array.data() + position / 8) << (8 - l)) & (((1 << u) - 1) << f)) >> f;
position += u;
count -= u;
}
return accuml;
}
As arguments, the function takes the position from which the read will be made, the number of bits, and the buffer from which the read should be made. Thanks to this function, I can read all the RTP header fields. Example of using this function:
int main()
{
// ... We get The RTP packet in binary form and write it to QByteArray ...
QByteArray array;
for (quint32 i = 0; i < rtpBinaryDataLength; ++i) {
array.push_back(rtpBinaryData[i]);
}
// 0 1 2 3
// 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

quint16 rtpVersion = readNBitsByRange(0x000, 0x002, array);
quint16 rtpPadding = readNBitsByRange(0x002, 0x001, array);
quint16 rtpExtension = readNBitsByRange(0x003, 0x001, array);
// .. And so on ...
}
It all works. But here's the problem, Now I have a task to write the RTP packet values to QByteArray, I don't know how to do it, We only know that, for example, the values of 4 fields (V. P, X, CC) of the RTP packet must be written to the 1st byte of the buffer.
I would like to have an example function, like for reading, so that you can easily work with it. Example of a function:
void writeNBits(quint32 position, quint32 count, quint32 val, QByteArray &array)
{
// ...
}
I tried writing all the values to the header, and then just write them to the QByteArray:
struct RtpHeader
{
unsigned m_v :2;
unsigned m_p :1;
unsigned m_x :1;
unsigned m_cc:4;
unsigned m_m :1;
unsigned m_pt:7;
uint16_t m_sn;
uint32_t m_tm;
uint32_t m_ssrc;
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
RtpHeader hdr;
hdr.m_v = 2;
hdr.m_p = 0;
hdr.m_x = 0;
hdr.m_cc = 0;
hdr.m_m = 1;
hdr.m_pt = 8;
hdr.m_sn = 59133;
hdr.m_tm = 240;
hdr.m_ssrc = 0xDEE0EE8F;
QByteArray array(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(&hdr), sizeof(hdr));
for (quint8 i = 0; i < 240; i++) {
array.push_back(0xD5); // Silence
}
QFile file("./rawRtpPacket.bin");
file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
file.write(array);
file.close();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
But that's not what I should get, For example: I should have received these results of a 12-byte header :
80 88 E6 FD 00 00 00 F0 DE E0 EE 8F
But I get different results:
02 11 FD E6 F0 00 00 00 8F EE E0 DE
If you look closely, from 4 bytes to 12, I have to mirror these values, but at the expense of the first two bytes, I can't understand why I get a completely different one.
I write: V-2, P-0, X-0, CC-0 and should get 10000000
, but I get 00000010
After experimenting a bit, I found a more correct way to write the RTP
packet in QByteArray
and realized my previous errors. Therefore, I wrote a sample version of the correct RTP
packet entry in QByteArray
:
class RtpHeader
{
public:
quint16 m_vp:0x02;
quint16 m_pf:0x01;
quint16 m_xf:0x01;
quint16 m_cc:0x04;
quint16 m_mb:0x01;
quint16 m_pt:0x07;
quint16 m_sn;
quint32 m_tm;
quint32 m_ss;
};
class RtpHeaderEncoder
{
public:
RtpHeaderEncoder(void) noexcept = delete;
RtpHeaderEncoder &operator=(const RtpHeaderEncoder &) noexcept = delete;
RtpHeaderEncoder &operator=(RtpHeaderEncoder &&) noexcept = delete;
RtpHeaderEncoder(const RtpHeaderEncoder &) noexcept = delete;
RtpHeaderEncoder(RtpHeaderEncoder &&) noexcept = delete;
~RtpHeaderEncoder(void) noexcept = delete;
static QByteArray encode(const RtpHeader &hdr) noexcept;
};
QByteArray RtpHeaderEncoder::encode(const RtpHeader &hdr) noexcept
{
QByteArray array;
if ((hdr.m_vp == 0x02) && (hdr.m_pf == 0x00) && (hdr.m_cc <= 0x0F) && (hdr.m_pt <= 0x12)) {
QDataStream stream(&array, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
stream << (((hdr.m_vp & 0x00003) << 0x01E)|
((hdr.m_pf & 0x00001) << 0x01D)|
((hdr.m_xf & 0x00001) << 0x01C)|
((hdr.m_cc & 0x0000F) << 0x018)|
((hdr.m_mb & 0x00001) << 0x017)|
((hdr.m_pt & 0x0007F) << 0x010)|
((hdr.m_sn & 0x0FFFF) << 0x000));
stream << hdr.m_tm << hdr.m_ss;
}
return array;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
RtpHeader hdr;
hdr.m_vp = 2;
hdr.m_pf = 0;
hdr.m_xf = 0;
hdr.m_cc = 0;
hdr.m_mb = 0;
hdr.m_pt = 8;
hdr.m_sn = 1;
hdr.m_tm = 201452158;
hdr.m_ss = 111537764;
QFile file("./rawRtpHeader.bin");
file.open (QIODevice::WriteOnly);
file.write(RtpHeaderEncoder::encode(hdr));
file.close();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
This method is both more secure and guarantees that all fields of the fixed RTP
packet header are filled in correctly. If you need to fill QByteArray
and payload , then just after filling the array with the package header, we write the payload itself.
