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)
