---------------------------

I have a wireshark capture that contains an RTP multicast stream (plus some
other incidental data).

Using a Tshark command like the following, I can produce a CSV of the RTP
timestamp compared with the packet capture time:

tshark.exe -r "capture.pcap" -Eseparator=, -Tfields -e rtp.timestamp -e
frame.time_epoch -d udp.port==5000,rtp

This decodes the UDP packets as RTP, and successfully prints out the two fields
as expected.

Now, the issue: The payload of the RTP stream is an MPEG2 Transport Stream, and
I also want to print the PCR value (if there is one) alongside the packet and
RTP timestamps. In wireshark, I can see the PCR being decoded correctly,
however using a command like the following:

tshark.exe -r "HBO HD CZ.pcap" -Eseparator=,-Tfields -e rtp.timestamp -e
frame.time_epoch -e mp2t.af.pcr -d udp.port==5000,mp2t

...only prints out a "1" if there is a PCR oresent, not the actual value. I
have also checked the .pcr_flag to confirm that these two are not exchanged,
but still I see the same result.

The documentation seems to call mp2t.af.pcr a "Label", does this mean that
Tshark is not able to use it as a field? There needs to be a way to generate a
CSV with these values.

The problem is that the value that Wireshark displays after "base(XXX)*300 +
ext(YYY)" is calculated and displayed, but the field itself isn't given an
integral type and is instead given a type that doesn't have a value. Arguably,
it should be an FT_UINT64 field and should be given a value, so that you can
filter on it and can print the value in TShark.
