Below is my basic usage information page to assist with usage and shall be updated when improvements and feature available.
mptsd is a versatile tool for MPEG TS multichannel multiplexing of individual SPTS => MPTS. (Single Program Transport Stream) => (Multiple Program Transport Stream)
mptsd offering a wide range of features from server configuration to handling various output settings.
This document provides an overview of all command-line options available as of 28-03-2024.
-
-i ident: Sets the server ident. Default:ux/mptsd.
-
-b addr: Binds to a local IP address. Default:0.0.0.0. -
-p port: Sets the port to listen on. Default:0. -
-N: Disables network. -
-d pidfile: Daemonizes with specified pidfile. -
-l host: Specifies the Syslog host. Default: disabled. -
-L port: Sets the Syslog port. Default:514.
-
-g file: Specifies the global configuration file. Default:mptsd.conf. -
-c file: Specifies the channels configuration file. Default:mptsd_channels.conf. -
-e file: Specifies the EPG configuration file. Default:mptsd_epg.conf. -
-n file: Specifies the NIT configuration file. Default:mptsd_nit.conf.
-
-O ip: Sets the output UDP address. -
-P ip: Sets the output UDP port. Default:5000. -
-o ip: Specifies the output interface address. Default:0.0.0.0. -
-t ttl: Sets the multicast TTL. Default:1. -
-s SSRC: Enables RTP. Default: disabled. -
-B Mbps: Sets the output bitrate in Mbps. Default:38.00. -
-m mode: Sets the PCR mode. Available modes:- Mode 0: Do not touch PCRs (default).
- Mode 1: Move PCRs to their calculated place.
- Mode 2: Rewrite PCRs using output bitrate.
- Mode 3: Move PCRs and rewrite them.
mptsd provides the capability for exact PCR restamping, achievable by employing the -m 3 option. This functionality is especially vital for hardware modulators that necessitate precise PCR values to function correctly. Given the importance of this feature for many cost-effective modulators, it is advised to always use -m 3 setting with them.
Compatibility and performance testing of mptsd has successfully demonstrated its effective operation with the following modulators:
- Dektec DTE-3114
- HiDes UT-100C
Employing the -m 3 option ensures that mptsd meets the technical requirements needed for optimal functionality with these and potentially other hardware modulators.
-
-q: Quiet mode. -
-D: Debug mode. -
-W: Write output file (recommended to use with-N). -
-f: Specifies the output filename. Default:mptsd-output.ts(use-for stdout). -
-E: Write input file. -
-9: Enable LCN support. Default: disabled.
