# dvb-si
ETSI EN 300 468 DVB Service Information parser **and builder**, plus the
MPEG-2 PSI tables it builds on, the DVB-allocated companion tables, and the
DSM-CC data carousel.
**Complete coverage: every allocated `table_id` in EN 300 468 V1.19.1
Table 2 (29 table types; 28 dispatched by `AnyTable` + the type-keyed MPE datagram view) and every allocated `descriptor_tag` in Table 12
(0x40–0x7F, 64 descriptors) is implemented**, each with a symmetric
`Parse` / `Serialize` pair and round-trip tests. Layouts are derived from the
ETSI specs (vendored in the repo and transcribed into reviewable markdown) and
validated against live broadcast captures.
## Table coverage
Every table: typed header fields, symmetric parse/serialize, round-trip
tested. Per the crate's zero-copy convention, descriptor loops and repeated
sub-structures are borrowed `&[u8]` slices the caller walks with the
descriptor parsers — noted below only where a table goes further or stays
deliberately raw.
| table_id | Table | Spec | Status |
| 0x01 | CAT — Conditional Access | ISO/IEC 13818-1 | ✅ full + typed `ca_descriptors()` view |

V1.19.1 Table 2 — there is nothing standardized left to implement.
## DSM-CC data carousel
The `carousel` module types the download-protocol payloads carried inside
DSM-CC sections (ISO/IEC 13818-6 §7.2/§7.3 as profiled by DVB — TR 101 202,
TS 102 006 SSU, TS 102 809 object carousels):
| DSI — DownloadServerInitiate | 0x1006 | ✅ full (privateData raw: SSU GroupInfoIndication / OC ServiceGatewayInfo) |
| DII — DownloadInfoIndication | 0x1002 | ✅ full (typed module loop) |
| DDB — DownloadDataBlock | 0x1003 | ✅ full |
| `ModuleReassembler` | — | ✅ DDB → complete modules per DII geometry: version-aware, out-of-order tolerant, per-module + aggregate memory caps |
Validated **byte-exact** against a live French-TNT (M6 HbbTV) capture in the
test suite. BIOP object-carousel payloads above this layer are out of scope.
## Descriptors
**Every allocated `descriptor_tag` in EN 300 468 V1.19.1 Table 12
(0x40–0x7F) is implemented** — plus the MPEG-2 descriptors that matter in SI
context and the de-facto private logical_channel_descriptor. Each parses into
a typed struct with a symmetric serializer and round-trip tests; any
unallocated/unknown tag passes through as raw bytes (tag + payload preserved).
Per the crate's zero-copy convention, free-form byte fields (names, selector
tails) stay borrowed `&[u8]`; notes below only where a sub-structure is
deliberately kept raw.

### Extension descriptor registry (tag 0x7F)
The first payload byte (`descriptor_tag_extension`) selects a sub-descriptor
(EN 300 468 §6.4). A body is typed only when its syntax table is vendored
under `docs/`; everything else is preserved byte-exact as `Raw` and
round-trips losslessly.

The crate has been through five adversarial spec-audit rounds; fixture tests
run against real transponder captures.
## Demux in 10 lines
Feed 188-byte TS packets to [`SiDemux`]; it filters by PID, reassembles
sections, validates CRCs, follows the PAT to PMT PIDs, and version-gates so a
steady carousel emits each table only once. You get a `SectionEvent` per
**changed** section:
```rust
use dvb_si::demux::SiDemux;
use dvb_si::tables::AnyTable;
let mut demux = SiDemux::builder().build();
for packet in ts_packets { // each aligned 188-byte packet
for event in demux.feed(&packet) { // changed sections only
if let Ok(AnyTable::Pat(pat)) = event.table() {
println!("PAT v{} on {}", event.version().unwrap_or(0), event.pid());
let _ = pat;
}
}
}
```
See [`examples/si_dump.rs`](examples/si_dump.rs) for a complete file-reading CLI
(`cargo run -p dvb-si --example si_dump -- file.ts [--json]`).
## Typed dispatch
You rarely match table_ids or descriptor_tags by hand. `AnyTable::parse`
dispatches a complete section to the right typed table; a table's descriptor-loop
field is a `DescriptorLoop` whose `.iter()` yields `AnyDescriptor` values (typed
where known, `Unknown` otherwise, never panicking — `parse_loop` does the same
for a free byte slice); and `DescriptorRegistry` lets you plug in private
descriptors at runtime. All are generated from a single declarative list so the
dispatcher can never drift from the implemented set.
```rust
use dvb_si::descriptors::AnyDescriptor;
for item in eit_event.descriptors.iter() { // DescriptorLoop::iter()
match item? {
AnyDescriptor::ShortEvent(se) => println!("{}", se.event_name.decode()),
AnyDescriptor::Unknown { tag, .. } => eprintln!("unknown 0x{tag:02X}"),
_ => {}
}
}
```
> **Upgrading from 1.x / 2.x?** Table descriptor-loop fields are now
> `DescriptorLoop` (call `.iter()` / `.raw()`), three tables (`Cat`, `Tsdt`,
> `Sit`) became borrowed, serde is Serialize-only, the SIT service loop is typed,
> and those loops serialize as typed JSON arrays. See
> **[MIGRATION-3.1.md](MIGRATION-3.1.md)**. (1.x → 2.0:
> [MIGRATION-2.0.md](MIGRATION-2.0.md).)
## Usage
```rust
use dvb_common::Parse;
use dvb_si::tables::sdt::Sdt;
// `section_bytes`: one complete SDT section, e.g. from `SectionReassembler`.
let sdt = Sdt::parse(section_bytes)?;
for service in &sdt.services {
println!("service_id = {}", service.service_id);
}
```
## Principles
- **Spec fidelity.** Every field in a section's syntax appears in the parsed struct.
- **Parse and construct.** Every parser has a symmetric serializer; round-trip is tested.
- **Zero-copy where possible.** Parsed types borrow from the input via `<'a>` lifetimes.
- **No magic numbers.** Every hex literal outside `#[cfg(test)]` is a named constant or enum.
## Features
Default: `chrono` (MJD+BCD → `DateTime<Utc>`), `ts` (TS packet +
`SectionReassembler`), `serde`.
`serde` is **Serialize-only** — for display/export (JSON via `serde_json`);
parsing FROM JSON is deliberately unsupported, re-parse from the wire bytes.
Optional (off by default):
`yoke` — `yoke::Yokeable` on every zero-copy view type plus an `Owned<T>`
wrapper, so you can own a parsed view past the input buffer's borrow (store it
in a struct field, a cache, a `watch`/broadcast channel, or send it across a
thread) without re-parsing or a hand-written mirror type:
```rust
use std::sync::Arc;
use dvb_si::{owned::Owned, tables::pmt::Pmt};
use dvb_common::Parse;
let bytes: Arc<[u8]> = Arc::from(section); // own the section
let pmt: Owned<Pmt<'static>> = Owned::try_new(bytes, |b| Pmt::parse(b))?;
let view: &Pmt = pmt.get(); // no re-parse, no lifetime
```
```toml
dvb-si = { version = "3.1", default-features = false } # tight build
```
