NAME

tsdumper2 - Record mpeg transport stream in files.  

SYNOPSIS

tsdumper2 -n <name> -i <input> ..other options..  

DESCRIPTION

tsdumper2 reads incoming mpeg transport stream over UDP/RTP and then records it to disk. The files names are generated based on preconfigured time interval.  

OPTIONS

-n, --prefix <name>
Set file name prefix. The output file name is generated using the following pattern: PREFIX-YYYYMMDD_hhmmss_UNIXTS.ts
-s, --seconds <seconds>
How much seconds should each individual file be long. The default interval is 60 seconds.
-d, --output-dir <dir>
Set the directory into which the files will be written. The default directory is . (current directory).
-D, --create-dirs
Save output files into directories named YYYY/MM/DD/hh. The output file is created in the top directory and then it is hard linked into the output directory. In the top directory you'll see the file that is currently written.
 

INPUT OPTIONS

-i, --input <source>
Where to read from. tsdumper2 supports input from IPv4 multicast/unicast addresses (-i udp://224.0.0.1:5000/) or IPv6 multicast/unicast addresses (-i udp://[ff01::1111]:5000). RTP input is also supported by using rtp:// instead of udp://.

   # Read multicast stream from 239.78.78.78:5000 and save it in
   # files with test- prefix
   tsdumper2 --input udp://239.78.78.78:5000/ --prefix test

   # Same as above but create directories YYYY/MM/DD/HH and put
   # files into the directory.
   tsdumper2 --input udp://239.78.78.78:5000/ --prefix test --create-dirs

   # Same as above but create directories YYYY/MM/DD/HH and put
   # files into the directory and create new file each 10 seconds.
   tsdumper2 --input udp://239.78.78.78:5000/ --prefix test --create-dirs --seconds 10
