DABLIN_GTK(1)

💖 DABLIN_GTK 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about dablin_gtk — a GTK DAB/DAB+ receiver for Linux, and it lives in section 1 of the manual (you know, the general commands girlies). this is the GUI one. she's got a window. she's got slideshow. she's serving.

✨ NAME ✨

dablin_gtk — a GTK DAB/DAB+ receiver for Linux. that's the whole name, no notes, periodt. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dablin_gtk (options) [file]

like… give her some options, maybe a file, and she'll do her thing. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically 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, iykyk). and the range?? both DAB (MP2) and DAB+ (AAC-LC, HE-AAC, HE-AAC v2) services are supported. she's versatile. she contains multitudes. 💅

and the GTK GUI version specifically? she goes further. she also supports the data applications Dynamic Label and MOT Slideshow — but only if the selected service is actually using them, bestie. no cap. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's the full menu, no skips, no shortcuts, every single one:

• -h — show a summary of options. the little "help me help you" moment. 🫶
• -f <format> — source format. it's "eti" (the default, the main character) or "edi".
• -d <binary> — use a DAB live source, using the binary you name. go get that live signal.
• -D <type> — the DAB live source type. options are "dab2eti" (default) or "eti-cmdline".
• -C <ch>,... — channels to be listed, comma separated. ⚠️ requires a DAB live source. and yes you can tack on an optional gain too, like "5C:-54". fancy.
• -c <ch> — the channel to be played. ⚠️ requires a DAB live source.
• -l <label> — the label of the service you want played. name it, claim it.
• -1 — play the first service found. zero decisions, instant vibes. 😌
• -s <sid> — the ID of the service to be played.
• -x <scids> — the ID of the service component to be played. ⚠️ requires a service ID, so bring -s along, they're a package deal.
• -g <gain> — USB stick gain, passed to the DAB live source. (auto gain is the default, just so you know 👀)
• -G — use the default gain for the DAB live source instead of auto gain. the rebel option.
• -r <path> — the path for recordings. default is /tmp. 🌙
• -P <size> — recording prebuffer size, in seconds. default is 0.
• -p — output raw PCM to stdout instead of using SDL. pipes only, no window dressing.
• -w — output RIFF WAVE with PCM to stdout instead of using SDL. ⚠️ useful only on Little Endian, so check your endianness first, bestie.
• -u — output the untouched audio stream to stdout instead of using SDL. raw. unfiltered. no thoughts.
• -I — don't catch up on the stream after an interruption. she simply moves on. 💀
• -Y — initially disable Dynamic Label Plus (DL+).
• -S — initially disable slideshow. (sad, but valid)
• -L — enable loose behaviour (e.g. PAD conformance). she's chill like that.
• -F — disable dynamic FIC messages (that's dynamic PTY and announcements, for the record).
• file — the input file to be played. if you don't specify one, it reads from stdin. surprise me. 🙈
