DESCRIPTION

     Act as a server which plays the given file (containing Transport Stream or Program Stream
     data). The output is always Transport Stream.

   Input:
     infile  An H.222.0 TS or PS file to serve to the client.  This will be treated as file 0
             (see below).

     -0 file0 .. -9 file9
             Specify files 0 through 9, selectable with command characters 0 through 9. The
             lowest numbered file will be the default for display.

   General Switches:
     -details
             Print out more detailed help information, including some less 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 additional diagnostic messages

     -q, -quiet
             Suppress informational and warning messages

     -port port_no
             Listen for a client on port port_no [default = 88]

     -noaudio
             Ignore any audio data

     -pad filler_pkts
             Pad the start of the output with filler_pkts filler TS packets, to allow the client
             to synchronize with the datastream.  [default = 8]

     -noseqhdr
             Do not output sequence headers for fast forward/reverse data. Only relevant to H.262
             data.

   Program Stream Switches:
     -prepeat pat_freq
             Output the program data (PAT/PMT) after every pat_freq PS packs.  [default = 100]

     -h264, -avc
             Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-4/AVC.

     -h262   Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-2.
     Both of these affect the stream type of the output data.

     If the audio stream being output is Dolby (AC-3), then the stream type used to output it
     differs for DVB (European) and ATSC (USA) data. It may be specified as follows:

     -dolby dvb
             Use stream type 0x06.  [default]

     -dolby atsc
             Use stream type 0x81

     For information on using the program in other modes, see -details.
