👑 NAME 👑

srt-file-transmit — a whole SRT sample application whose entire job is transmitting files, and honestly? it ate 💅

(this is the SRT-FILE-TRANSMIT(1) page btw, section 1, User Commands, iykyk ✨)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

srt-file-transmit [options] <input-uri> <output-uri>

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie, so srt-file-transmit is an SRT sample application to transmit files. that's the vibe. no cap 🫶

and here's the build tea, straight up, no edits:

Built with SRT Library version: 1.5.6 SRT Library version: 1.5.6, clock type: GETTIME_MONOTONIC

(yes the version shows up twice, that's literally what it says, not a typo on my part, we don't fix the lore 🎀)

now. the options. there are a LOT of them and every single one is here, so grab a snack 🍓

• -c, -chunk:<chunk=1456> — max size of data read in one step
• -sf, -skipflush — skip flushing the output file
• -bandwidth-report, -bitrate-report, -bwreport, -r, -report:<every_n_packets=0> — bandwidth report frequency
• -s, -stats, -stats-report-frequency:<every_n_packets=0> — how often you get a status report
• -statsout:<filename> — write the stats out to a file
• -pf, -statspf:<format=default> — the stats printing format, and it takes [json|csv|default]
• -f, -fullstats — full counters in stats-report (it prints total statistics)
• -ll, -loglevel:<level=error> — log level, pick from [fatal,error,info,note,warning]
• -logfa:<fas=general,...> — log functional area, pick from [all,general,bstats,control,data,tsbpd,rexmit]
• -logfile:<filename=> — write your logs to a file
• -q, -quiet — quiet mode (default off)
• -v, -verbose — verbose mode (default off)
• -h, -help — show this help
• -version — print the SRT library version

🦋 the URIs 🦋

two of these are required, and they're positional, so they go at the end:

• <input-uri> — a URI specifying a medium to read from
• <output-uri> — a URI specifying a medium to write to

and the URI syntax itself is giving very much:

SCHEME://HOST:PORT/PATH?PARAM1=VALUE&PARAM2=VALUE...

now the supported schemes, and there are exactly three, periodt:

• srt: — use HOST, PORT, and PARAM for setting socket options
• udp: — use HOST, PORT and PARAM for some UDP specific settings
• file: — file URI, or file://con to use stdin or stdout

heads up bestie 💀 the way that udp: handles PARAM is some UDP specific settings — don't assume it mirrors srt:, ok? just use what's written.
