💖 nbdkit-nofilter-filter(1) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the nbdkit manual, and it's about the filter that does… literally nothing. and I mean that as the highest compliment. it's the chillest little filter in the whole suite and I'm obsessed with it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nbdkit-nofilter-filter — the nbdkit passthrough filter. it just… passes stuff through. iconic behaviour, no notes. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nbdkit --filter=nofilter plugin [plugin-args...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no extra flags, no secret handshake, just vibes. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so "nbdkit-nofilter-filter" passes through requests unchanged. like, it takes the request, looks at it, and goes "yep, looks good to me" and hands it right back on over. no editing, no remixing, no notes. 💖

it's mostly used for testing nbdkit — so if you're poking at nbdkit itself and you need a filter that exists but doesn't do anything, this is your girl. she's giving "main character who just stands there looking cute" and honestly? slay. 👑

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • $filterdir/nbdkit-nofilter-filter.so — the filter itself, the whole entire girl. 💅

if you're like "okay but where IS $filterdir though" — use nbdkit --dump-config to find the location of $filterdir. mystery solved, no cap. 🔍✨

⭐ VERSION ⭐

"nbdkit-nofilter-filter" first appeared in nbdkit 1.18. a legend was born, fr fr. 🎂
