TRX-RX(1)

📦 version 0.5, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy

💖 TRX-RX 💖 — like, the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, sit down, we're learning trx-rx from the General Commands Manual (section 1, as the header up top says) and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge main character energy" 🌈✨

✨ NAME ✨

trx-rx — real-time audio receiver over IP 🎧🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

trx-rx [-d DEV] [-m MS] [-h ADDR] [-p PORT] [-j MS] [-r RATE] [-c N] [-v
N] [-v FILE]

no cap, that's the whole vibe check right there 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

trx-rx receives real-time audio over IP and plays it out to an ALSA audio device. that's it. that's the whole job. it catches the audio out of the air (well, out of the network 🙈) and hands it straight to your speakers. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

  • -d DEV — the alsa device name. default is 'default' 💖
  • -m MS — set the buffer time. default is 16 milliseconds ⏱️
  • -h ADDR — set the IP address to listen on. default is :: 🌐
  • -p PORT — set the UDP port to listen on. default is 1350 📮
  • -j MS — set the jitter buffer length. default is 16 milliseconds. 🍓
  • -r RATE — set the sample rate. default is 48000Hz. 🎵
  • -c N — set the number of channels. default is 2. 🎧
  • -v N — set the verbosity level. higher N implies more verbosity. default is 1. 🗣️
  • -D FILE — run the receiver as a daemon, writing the process ID to FILE. 👻

⭐ NOTES ⭐

so the Debian package has renamed the upstream binary rx to trx-rx, because rx is less generic and less likely to collide with other packaged binaries. literally a glow-up rename for safety reasons 💅✨

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

wanna receive audio being sent to the local interface with the IP address 239.0.0.1? say less, bestie:

trx-rx -h 239.0.0.1

and that's the whole thing 🫶

okay that's the page!! this beauty lives in the General Commands Manual, it's TRX-RX(1) (yes, section 1, the commands girlies 🎀), and it's brought to you by the Debian packagers who did that rename. no date on this one so we're just gonna say "sometime, gorgeously" 💜 mwah, go stream some audio 💖✨🌸
