SCTE35 Parser

The SCTE (Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers) defines the SCTE-35 as "SCTE 35, Digital Program Insertion Cueing Message for Cable, is the core signaling standard for advertising and distribution control (ex. blackouts) of content for content providers and content distributors"  SCTE-35 CUEs are signals that can be used to identify AD breaks, program chapters etc in a VOD, DVR or live streams contents. While creating the original content, encoders uses SCTE-104 messages to insert appropriate SCTE-35 info in the stream. This usually will be packaged as separate stream with other video, audio streams. The downstream packager can use this info to create appropriate SCTE-35 CUEs on the end user metadata, for example HLS manifest, DASH manifest etc.  Sample manifest with SCTE-35 cues: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10 #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:00001 http://server-host/path/file44.ts http://server-host/path/file45.ts SCTE 35 2016 SCTE STANDARD ©SCT...

HTTPS requests using org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate

RestTemplate class is useful to make synchronous client-side HTTP access. It also allows you to make HTTPS calls with same interface. When you use HTTPS urls, the framework switch to a different path to take care of the SSL handshake behind the scene so that as a user you don't have to explicitly provide a truststore and keystore to support the protocol. Here are some helpful info to understand the SSL flow better in this case. CA Cert Validation when using org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate This example uses org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate to make http requests. This make use of the SSLSocketFactoryImp, and SSLContextImpl$DefaultSSLContext classes, through which get access to the default cacert store file (loaded through X509TrustManagerImpl). Code references: http://www.docjar.com/html/api/sun/security/ssl/SSLContextImpl.java.html  - (DefaultSSLContext-> getDefaultTrustManager) http://www.docjar.com/html/api/sun/security/ssl/TrustManagerFactoryI...
