TSREPORT(1)

💖 TSREPORT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for tsreport — that's section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and she's here to spill all the tea about your transport streams. ✨

💅 NAME 💅

tsreport — get info about the streams within a transport stream. no cap, that's literally the whole job.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the page writes the command as tsinfo in all three lines, so I'm copying that exactly, don't @ me 💀

tsinfo [-err stdout] [-err stderr] [-verbose | -v] [-timing | -t]
       [-max max_read | -m max_read] [-data] file | -stdin
tsinfo -buffering | -b [-err stdout] [-err stderr] [-verbose | -v]
       [-quiet | -q] [-max max_read | -m max_read] [-o csv_file [-32]]
       [-cnt] [-prog prog_no] [-tfmt time_format] [-tafmt time_format]
       file | -stdin
tsinfo -justpid pid [-err stdout] [-err stderr]
       [-max max_read | -m max_read] file | -stdin

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Report on the streams in a Transport Stream. In general the most useful inforation is returned by the -b option. that's the one, the main character, the one you actually want. 👑

🫶 Common options 🫶

• -err stdout — Write error messages to standard output (the default)
• -err stderr — Write error messages to standard error (Unix traditional)
• -v, -verbose — Output extra information about packets
• -q, -quiet — Output less information
• -m max_scan, -max max_scan — max_scan is the Number of TS packets to scan. Defaults to the entire file.
• -stdin — Input from standard input, instead of a file
• file — The transport stream file to get info on. If -stdin is specified then no file is expected

🔥 -b, -buffering 🔥

Report on the differences between PCR and PTS, and between PCR and DTS. This is relevant to the size of buffers needed in the decoder. Also reports bitrates; the max bitrate is calculated over 0.5sec — 0.5sec, that's the window, remember it.

• -o csv_file [-32] — Output timing in to a CSV file called csv_file. If -32 is used as well then the timing ifo is restricted to the bottom 32 bits
• -cnt pid — Check values of continuity_counter for pid pid. Writes all the values of the counter to a file called continuity_counter.txt.
• -prog prog_no — Report on program prog_no [default = 1] (hopefully default will be 'all' in the future)
• -tfmt time_format — Specify format of time differences.
• -tafmt time_format — Specify format of absolute times.

time_format is one of

• 90 — [Default] show as 90KHz timestamps (suffix 't' on the values: e.g., 4362599t).
• 27 — Show as 27MHz timestamps (similar, e.g., 25151:000t).
• 32 — Show as 90KHz timestamps, but only the low 32 bits.
• ms — Show as milliseconds.
• hms — Show as hours/minutes/seconds (H:MM:SS.ssss, the H can be more than one digit if necessary)

💜 -justpid pid 💜

Just show data (file offset, index, adaptation field and payload) for TS packets with the given PID. PID 0 is allowed (i.e., the PAT) — yes bestie, PID 0 is fair game, that's the PAT herself. 🙈
