This manpage describes \fBsydra\fR the basic utility for the task which is based on GStreamer and is written in C\&. The \fBsydra\fR utility creates a gstreamer pipeline to send or receive RTP\-based Audio/Video streams\&. For a bidirectional connection 2 instances of \fBsydra\fR are required on both sides of the communication\&. \fBsydra\fR has automatic client detection capabilities in the form of keep alive messages\&. These message are sent out by receivers to request RTP packets from a sender\&. The sender will send RTP packets to one or more receivers which request the stream\&. It also uses the keep alive messages to remove stale client \fIconnections\fR\&. A receiver can also request to be removed from the list of receivers\&. This ensures a fast and clean shutdown\&. The keepalive messages are also a simple way to work around NAT and firewalls (UDP hole punching)\&. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.sp -The following options can be passed to the \fBsydra\fR daemon: -.sp -\fBglobal options\fR -.PP -\fB\-D, \-\-nodaemonize\fR -.RS 4 -This option instructs -\fBsydra\fR -to run in foreground instead of becoming a daemon which is the default\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-u, \-\-username <username>\fR -.RS 4 -run as this user\&.

The default is to not run in chroot\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-P, \-\-write\-pid <filename>\fR -.RS 4 -Instruct -\fBsydra\fR -to write it\(cqs pid to this file\&. The default is to not create a pid file\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-L, \-\-log <target>:<level>[,<param1>[,<param2>[\&.\&.]]]\fR -.RS 4 -add log target to logging system\&. This can be invoked several times in order to log to different targets at the same time\&. Every target has its own log level which is a number between 0 and 5\&. Where 0 means disabling log and 5 means debug messages are enabled\&. - -The file target can be used more than once with different levels\&. If no target is provided at the command line a single target with the config -\fBsyslog:3,sydra,daemon\fR -is added\&. - -The following targets are supported: -.PP -\fBsyslog\fR -.RS 4 -log to syslog daemon, parameters <level>[,<logname>[,<facility>]] -.RE -.PP -\fBfile\fR -.RS 4 -log to file, parameters <level>[,<path>] -.RE -.PP -\fBstdout\fR -.RS 4 -log to standard output, parameters <level> -.RE -.PP -\fBstderr\fR -.RS 4 -log to standard error, parameters <level> -.RE -.RE -.PP -\fB\-U, \-\-debug\fR -.RS 4 -This option instructs -\fBsydra\fR -to run in debug mode\&.

Please mind that the remote RTP host is always added as a receiver and it shouldn\(cqt 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\&.
