Detailed Description

A trace based streamer.

Sends UDP packets based on a trace file of a MPEG4 stream. Trace files can be downloaded from: https://web.archive.org/web/20210113211420/http://trace.eas.asu.edu/mpeg4/index.html (the 2 first lines of the file should be removed) A valid trace file is a file with 4 columns:

-1- the first one represents the frame index
-2- the second one indicates the type of the frame: I, P or B
-3- the third one indicates the time on which the frame was generated by the encoder (integer, milliseconds)
-4- the fourth one indicates the frame size in byte

Additional trace files can be generated from MPEG4 files using the tool available in https://pypi.org/project/trace-extractor/

If no valid MPEG4 trace file is provided to the application the trace from g_defaultEntries array will be loaded.

Also note that:

-1- consecutive 'B' frames are sent together,
-2- any trace file is (by default) read again once finished (loop).

The latter behavior can be changed through the "TraceLoop" attribute.
