===================
No autotools yet... You'd have to tweak the Makefile by hand. Compile the
-program with `make`.
-
-
-The socket description format
-=============================
-
-For conveniency all tools use the same way of describing a socket in a
-program argument:
-
-<connect address>:<connect port>@<bind address>:<bind port>
-
-All parts are optional; default port (1234) or wildcard address will then
-be used.
-
-Some examples:
-
-Reading all streams coming to port 5004:
- @:5004
-Reading from a multicast stream on port 5004:
- @239.255.0.1:5004
-The same, with source-specific multicast:
- 192.168.0.1@239.255.0.1:5004
-Writing to a multicast stream on port 5004:
- 239.255.0.1:5004
-The same, but binding to a specific interface:
- 239.255.0.1:5004@192.168.0.2
-
-
-Using Multicat
-==============
-
-Recording a multicast address to a file:
-
-multicat @239.255.0.1:5004 /tmp/myfile.ts
-
-This will also create file /tmp/myfile.aux. Playing back the file:
-
-multicat -p 68 /tmp/myfile.ts 239.255.0.2:5004
-
-Adding an RTP header to an existing multicast stream:
-
-multicat -p 68 -u @239.255.0.1:5004 239.255.0.2:5004
-
-The PCR PID is here supposed to be 68. If you don't specify it, the timestamps
-will not be RFC-compliant (but will work in most cases). You can use the
-get_pcr_pid tool from libdvbpsi to determine it. Otherwise, if you are sure
-the stream contains a single program, and only one PID carries a PCR, you can
-pass "-p 8192" the disable the PID check. This isn't on by default because
-it can produce awful things with multi-program transport streams, and the
-world would be a better place if people had to knowingly turn it on.
-
-
-Using IngesTS
-=============
-
-ingests -p 68 /tmp/afile.ts
-
-This will create file /tmp/afile.aux. 68 is supposed to be the PCR PID.
-The same note as above applies to ingesTS.
-
-Playing the file:
-
-multicat -p 68 /tmp/afile.ts 239.255.0.2:5004
-
-
-Using OffseTS
-=============
-
-We want to take the first 60 minutes of a TS file. We must scale it in a
-27 MHz clock:
-60 * 60 (seconds) * 27000000 (MHz) = 97200000000
-
-Find the offset in 1316-blocks:
-
-offsets /tmp/myfile.aux 97200000000
-
-It returns for instance "556896". Then cut the file using dd:
-
-dd if=/tmp/myfile.ts of=/tmp/mynewfile.ts bs=1316 count=556896
-
-Alternatively, if we want to *remove* the first hour:
-
-dd if=/tmp/myfile.ts of=/tmp/mynewfile.ts bs=1316 skip=556896
-
-It can also be done with multicat using the -s and -n options.
-
-
-Using AggregaRTP and DesaggregaRTP
-==================================
-
-Splitting an RTP stream to two streams with different routing policies:
-
-aggregartp @239.255.0.1:5004 239.1.0.1:5004@192.168.0.1 239.2.0.1:5004@172.16.0.1
-
-At the other end, reassembling the two streams into one usable stream:
-
-desaggregartp 192.168.0.1@239.1.0.1:5004 172.16.0.1@239.2.0.1:5004 239.254.0.1:5004
+program with `make`. and install with `make install`. Some tools require the
+installation of libdvbpsi and libdvbpsi-devel (depending on your distribution).
