💖 DABLIN — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, grab your boba 🧋 because we're talking about dablin, a CLI DAB/DAB+ receiver for Linux, living its best life in the General Commands Manual. no cap, this little icon does a LOT.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dablin (options) [file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So dablin plays a DAB/DAB+ audio service — either from a live transmission or from a stored ensemble recording (that's ETI-NI, or EDI AF with ETI). and the range?? both DAB (MP2) and DAB+ (AAC-LC, HE-AAC, HE-AAC v2) services are supported. versatile queen 👑 periodt.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — shows you a lil summary of the options. your "wait what were the flags again" bestie 🫶
  • -f <format> — the source format. it's "eti" (the default) or "edi".
  • -d <binary> — use a DAB live source, specifically the <binary> you name here.
  • -D <type> — the DAB live source type: "dab2eti" (default) or "eti-cmdline".
  • -c <ch> — the channel to be played. heads up: this one needs a DAB live source. 📡
  • -l <label> — the label of the service you wanna play.
  • -1 — just play the first service found. no thoughts, head empty, first one wins 💅
  • -s <sid> — the ID of the service to be played.
  • -x <scids> — the ID of the service component to be played. it requires a service ID, so pair it up. 🫱🫲
  • -r <subchid> — the ID of the sub-channel (DAB) to be played.
  • -R <subchid> — the ID of the sub-channel (DAB+) to be played. yes bestie, capital R is the DAB+ one, don't mix them up 😭
  • -g <gain> — USB stick gain to pass along to the DAB live source. auto gain is the default, so this is for when you're feeling specific.
  • -G — use the default gain for the DAB live source instead of auto gain.
  • -p — output raw PCM to stdout instead of using SDL. pipe it somewhere cute 🔥
  • -w — output RIFF WAVE with PCM to stdout instead of using SDL. quick note: this is useful only on Little Endian. 🍓
  • -u — output the untouched audio stream to stdout instead of using SDL.
  • -I — don't catch up on the stream after an interruption. like, we're not chasing it, we're moving on. 🙈
  • -F — disable dynamic FIC messages (that's dynamic PTY and announcements). bye bye chatter 💀
  • file — the input file to be played. if you don't specify one, it's stdin. ✨
