System and method for transport stream sync byte detection with transport stream having multiple emulated sync bytes

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution, cause a system including a processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a plurality of transport stream packets;
• detecting beginning at a first transport stream packet of the plurality of transport stream packets, a continuous four-byte pattern that does not include a predetermined synchronization value;
• and
• detecting, after the continuous four-byte pattern, an occurrence of a first byte having the predetermined synchronization value.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions, comprising:
• a receiver configured to receive a plurality of transport stream packets;
• a synchronization byte detection portion configured to:
• detect beginning at a first transport stream packet of the of the plurality of transport stream packets, a continuous four-byte pattern that does not include a predetermined synchronization value;
• and
• detect, after the continuous four-byte pattern, an occurrence of a first byte having the predetermined synchronization value.
