*stdout:5* (logging with maximum level). In future releases there might
be additional output when this option is supplied.
+*-n, --appname <name>*::
+ This set the application name using 'g_set_prgname()'. It will be used for example
+ by xvimagesink for window title.
+
+*-m, --mode (sender|reciever)*::
+ This sets the main mode of *sydra*. The sender will read raw video and audio
+ from the source bin and send it via RTP to one or more receivers.
+
+
+*sender-mode only options*
+
+*--source <bin description>*::
+ A gst-launch-style description for the raw video and audio bin. This bin must contain
+ an element called 'videosrc' and an element called 'audiosrc' which should each
+ contain a pad called 'src'. Theses pads will get connected to the encoder bins.
+ Example:
+ 'v4l2src ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,format=I420,width=864,height=480 ! identity name="videosrc"
+ autoaudiosrc ! audio/x-raw,format=S16LE,channels=1,rate=48000 ! identity name="audiosrc"'
+
+*--video-encoder <bin description>*::
+ Bin description for the video encoder. Example: 'videoconvert ! vp8enc'
+
+*--video-payloader <element>*::
+ A RTP payloader element for the video codec in use. Example: 'rtpvp8pay'
+
+*--previewsink <bin description>*::
+ A video sink element for local preview. Example: 'videoconvert ! textoverlay test="preview" ! xvimagesink'
+
+*--audio-encoder <bin description>*::
+ Bin description for the audio encoder. Example: 'audioconveert ! opusenc'
+
+*--audio-payloader <element>*::
+ A RTP payloader element for the audio codec in use. Example: 'rtpopuspay'
+
+
+*receiver-mode only options*
+
+*--video-caps <caps>*::
+ These caps will get assigned to incoming RTP packets for video. Example:
+ 'application/x-rtp,media=video,clock-rate=90000,encoding-name=VP8-DRAFT-IETF-01,caps="video/x-vp8"'
+
+*--video-depayloader <element>*::
+ A RTP depayloader element for the video codec in use. Example: 'rtpvp8depay'
+
+*--video-decoder <bin description>*::
+ Bin description for the video decoder. Example: 'vp8dec'
+
+*--audio-caps <caps>*::
+ These caps will get assigned to incoming RTP packets for audio. Example:
+ 'application/x-rtp,media=audio,clock-rate=48000,payload=96,encoding-name=X-GST-OPUS-DRAFT-SPITTKA-00,caps="audio/x-opus"'
+
+*--audio-depayloader <element>*::
+ A RTP depayloader element for the audio codec in use. Example: 'rtpopusdepay'
+
+*--audio-decoder <bin description>*::
+ Bin description for the audio decoder. Example: 'opusdec'
+
+*--sink <bin description>*::
+ A gst-launch-style description for the raw video and audio bin. This bin must contain
+ an element called 'videosink' and an element called 'audiosink' which should each
+ contain a pad called 'sink'. Theses pads will get connected to the decoder bins.
+ Example:
+ 'videoconvert name="videosink" ! videoscale add-borders=true ! xvimagesink
+ audioconvert name="audiosink" ! autoaudiosink'
+
+*options for RTP*
+
+*-a, --rtp-host <host>*::
+ In 'sender' mode this sets the address or hostname of the remote RTP receiver. Please
+ mind that the remote RTP host is always added as a receiver and it shouldn't be
+ configured to send keepalives. This would re-add the receiver to the list of clients
+ and as a result duplicate packages will be sent.
+ Also the remote RTP host is excluded from client timeout handling and remove requests
+ from it will get ignored.
+ When you omit this in sender mode the automatic client detection will be used to add
+ receivers.
+ In 'receiver' mode keepalive messages will be sent to this host. Leave empty to disable
+ keepalive messages.
+
+*-o, --rtp-port-base <port>*::
+ The base number for remote ports. *sydra* will send the RTP/RTCP packets using the following
+ mapping:
+ * rtp-port-base + 0: RTP Video
+ * rtp-port-base + 1: RTCP Video
+ * rtp-port-base + 2: RTP Audio
+ * rtp-port-base + 3: RTCP Audio
+
+*-A, --rtp-addr-local <address>*::
+ The local address to wait for incoming UDP messages. Leave empty to listen on any address.
+
+*-O, --rtp-port-base-local <port>*::
+ The base number for local ports to bind to. The same mapping as for the remote port-base is
+ used to map incoming RTP packets to the RTP bin.
+
+*-c, --no-auto-client*::
+ This disables auto-detection for clients in 'sender' mode. Mind that if you disable the
+ automatic client detection and also omit the rtp-host option *sydra* won't send any RTP
+ messages. If configured recording will work but this is most probably not what you want.
+
+*-t, --timeout <timeout>*::
+ This sets the client timeout in seconds in 'sender' mode. A value of 0 disables client
+ timeouts. This is not recommended.
+
+*-k, --keepalive-interval <interval>*::
+ This sets the interval in seconds for sending out keepalive messages in 'receiver' mode.
+ A value of 0 disables keepalive messages and therefor the client auto detection won't
+ work for this client.
+
+*options for recording*
+
+*--rec-video-encoder <bin description>*::
+ A bin description for the video encoder used for recording. If you leave this empty the
+ output from the RTP video encoder is used. Example: 'videoconvert ! jpegenc'
+
+*--rec-audio-encoder <bin description>*::
+ A bin description for the audio encoder used for recording. If you leave this empty the
+ output from the RTP audio encoder is used. Example: 'audioconvert ! vorbisenc'
+
+*--rec-mux <element>*::
+ A gstreamer muxer element used for recording. If you leave this empty recording will be
+ disabled. Example: 'matroskamux'
+
+*--rec-name-format <formatstring>*::
+ A 'strftime' based format string which will be used to create the name for the
+ recorded file. Example: ./recordings/%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.mkv
