DUMPRTP(1)

💖 DUMPRTP 💖

okay bestie, so this one is dumprtp — a lil Debian manual page, and it's genuinely so useful, come sit with me 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dumprtp — get an RTP unicast/multicast/broadcast stream and output it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ts_filter [ip_addr port]

(yes bb, it literally says ts_filter up there, that's not a typo on my part, that's just how it is, we don't question the ancestors 😭)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: dumprtp fetches a unicast, broadcast or multicast stream from an IP address and just... outputs it straight to stdout. That's it. That's the whole job. Slay 💅

And like, the main character use case? You can pair it with dvbstream to broadcast, for example, DVB video and audio over a LAN. Networking your TV around the house? Obsessed. 🔥

Now, the deets for when you just run it with no arguments — it outputs from multicast address 224.0.1.2, port 5004 by default. And not me knowing this is literally the default that dvbstream uses too, iykyk 👑

Wanna change it? Easy. Just give the address and the port number on the command line. Periodt. ✨
