NAME

Net::SDP::Media - Media Description in an SDP file

SYNOPSIS

  my $audio = $sdp->new_media_desc( 'audio' );

  $audio->address('224.123.234.56');
  $audio->port(5004);
  $audio->attribute('quality', 5);

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a single Media Description (m=) in an SDP file. As well as the m= line, it also contains the information about all the following lines that make up that media description. When parsing an SDP file, Net::SDP will create an instance of Net::SDP::Media for each media description. New media descriptions can be created using the new_media_desc() method in Net::SDP.

METHODS

title()

Get or Set the title for this media description. [i=]

Example:

        $audio = $audio->title();
        $audio->title( 'English' );

        $addr = $audio->address();
        $audio->address( '224.123.234.56' );
  

address_type()

Get or Set the connection address type for this media description. Default is IP4. [c=]

Example:

        $addr = $audio->address_type();
        $audio->address_type( 'IP6' );
  

port()

Get or Set the connection port type for this media description. [m=]

Example:

        $port = $audio->port();
        $audio->port( 5004 );

ttl()

Get or Set the Time to Live for packets in this media description. [c=]

Example:

        $ttl = $audio->ttl();
        $audio->ttl( 127 );

media_type()

Get or Set the media type this media description - eg audio, video etc. [m=]

Example:

        $media = $audio->media_type();
        $audio->media_type( 'audio' );

transport()

Get or Set the transport method for this media description. Default is RTP/AVP. [m=]

Example:

  $media = $audio->transport();
  $audio->transport( 'UDP' );

network_type()

Get or Set the network type for this media description. Default is 'IN' - Internet. [c=]

        $media = $audio->network_type();
        $audio->network_type( 'IN' );

attribute( name, [value] )

Get or Set an attribute for this media description. [a=]

When setting an attribute, if you pass in a scalar, then all attributes with the same name will be replaced. Alternively an attribute may be set to multiple values by passing an ARRAYREF. If an attribute does not require it, then the value parameter is optional - eg for 'recvonly' attribute.

When getting an attribute that has no value, then '' is returned, or if the attribute does not exists then undef is returned. If the attribute has a single value, then that value is returned, or if it has more than one value then an ARRAYREF is returned.

Example:

        $quality = $audio->attribute( 'quality' );
        $video->attribute( 'framerate',  10 );

attributes()

Get a HASHREF of all the attributes associated with this media description [a=]

Example:

        $hashref = $audio->attributes();

add_attribute( name, [value] )

Add a value for sepecified attribute. This method is intended to be used with attributes with multiple values - ie rtpmap and fmtp [a=]

Example:

        $audio->add_attribute( 'fmtp', '32 type=mpeg1');

remove_format_num( num )

Removes the specified format number from the list of payload IDs/formats that are allowed for this media description. [m=]

Example:

        # eg audio/L16/44100/2
        $default = $audio->default_format();

Example:

        $fmt_list = $audio->format_num_list();
        $audio->format_num_list( [0, 8, 10] );

format_list()
