NAME

       cubemap - scalable video reflector, designed to be used with VLC

SYNOPSIS

       cubemap [options] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       cubemap is a high-performance, high-availability video reflector, specifically made for use with VLC.

       • High-performance,  through a design with multiple worker threads, epoll and sendfile (yes, sendfile); a
         2GHz quadcore can saturate 10 gigabit Ethernet, given a modern kernel,  a  modern  NIC  and  the  right
         kernel tuning.

       • High-availability. You can change any part of the configuration (and even upgrade to a newer version of
         Cubemap)  by  changing cubemap.config and sending a SIGHUP; all clients will continue as if nothing had
         happened (unless you delete the stream they are  watching,  of  course).   Cubemap  also  survives  the
         encoder dying and reconnecting.

       • Support for setting max pacing rate through the fq packet scheduler (depends on Linux 3.13 or newer).

       • Reflects  anything  VLC  can  reflect  over HTTP, even the muxes VLC has problems reflecting itself (in
         particular, FLV).

       • Multicast support, both for sending and receiving (supports only protocols that can go over  UDP,  e.g.
         MPEG-TS). Supports both ASM and SSM.

       • IPv4 support. Yes, Cubemap even supports (some) legacy protocols.

OPTIONS

       --test-config, -t
              tests the config and exits

       FILE   configuration file (defaults to cubemap.config in the current directory)
