VERSION: 1.7.0

OPTIONS

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS: One of:

-s, --server

Run in P2P Server Mode

-c, --client <peer_hostname_or_IP_num>

Run in P2P Client Mode

-S, --jacktripserver

Run in Hub Server Mode

-C, --pingtoserver <peer_name_or_IP>

Run in Hub Client Mode

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

-n, --numchannels #

Number of Input and Output Channels (# greater than 0, default: 2)

--receivechannels #

Number of receive Channels from the network (# greater than 0)

--sendchannels #

Number of send Channels to the network (# greater than 0)

-q, --queue # (2 or more)

Queue Buffer Length, in Packet Size (default: 4)

-r, --redundancy # (1 or more)

Packet Redundancy to avoid glitches with packet losses (default: 1)

-o, --portoffset #

Receiving bind port and peer port offset from default 4464

-B, --bindport #

Set only the bind port number (default: 4464)

-P, --peerport #

Set only the peer port number (default: 4464)

-U, --udpbaseport

Set only the server udp base port number (default: 61002)

-b, --bitres # (8, 16, 24, 32)

Audio Bit Rate Resolutions (default: 16, 32 uses floating-point)

-z, --zerounderrun

Set buffer to zeros when underrun occurs (default: wavetable)

-t, --timeout

Quit after 10 seconds of no network activity

-l, --loopback

Run in Loop-Back Mode

-j, --jamlink

Run in JamLink Mode (Connect to a JamLink Box)

-J, --clientname

Change default client name (default: JackTrip)

-K, --remotename

Change default remote client name when connecting to a hub server (the default is derived from this computer’s external facing IP address)

--appendthreadid

Append thread ID to client names

-L, --localaddress

Change default local host IP address (default: 127.0.0.1)

-D, --nojackportsconnect

Don’t connect default audio ports in jack

--bufstrategy # (0, 1, 2)

Use alternative jitter buffer

--broadcast <broadcast_queue>

Duplicate receive ports with the specified broadcast_queue length. Broadcast outputs have higher latency but less packet loss.

--udprt

Use RT thread priority for network I/O

OPTIONS FOR AUDIO PATCHING IN HUB SERVER MODE:

-p, --hubpatch # (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Hub auto audio patch, only has effect if running HUB SERVER mode, 0=server-to-clients, 1=client loopback, 2=client fan out/in but not loopback, 3=reserved for TUB, 4=full mix, 5=no auto patching (default: 0)

-i, --includeserver

Include audio to and from the server in the mix when patching. Only affects -p 2 (client fan out/in but not loopback) and -p 4 (full mix) patch modes.

-u, --upmix

Upmix mono clients to stereo when patching

OPTIONAL SIGNAL PROCESSING:

-f, --effects # | paramString | help

Turn on incoming and/or outgoing compressor and/or reverb in Client - see ‘-f help’ for details

-O, --overflowlimiting i|o[w]|io[w]|n|help

Use audio limiter(s) in Client, i=incoming from network, o=outgoing to network, io=both, n=no limiters, w=warn if limiting (default=n). Say -O help for more.

-a, --assumednumclients help|# (1,2,..)

Assumed number of Clients (sources) mixing at Hub Server (otherwise 2 assumed by -O)

ARGUMENTS TO DISPLAY IO STATISTICS:

-I, --iostat <time_in_secs>

Turn on IO stat reporting with specified interval (in seconds)

-G, --iostatlog <log_file>

Save stat log into a file (default: print in stdout)

-x, --examine-audio-delay <print_interval_in_secs> | help

Print round-trip audio delay statistics. See ‘-x help’ for details.

ARGUMENTS TO SIMULATE NETWORK ISSUES:

--simloss <rate>

Simulate packet loss

--simjitter <rate>,<d>

Simulate jitter, d is max delay in packets

ARGUMENTS FOR HUB CLIENT/SERVER AUTHENTICATION:

-A, --auth

Use authentication on the client side, or require it on the server side

--certfile

The certificate file to use on the hub server

--keyfile

The private key file to use on the hub server

--credsfile

The file containing the stored usernames and passwords

--username

The username to use when connecting as a hub client (if not supplied here, this is read from standard input)

--password

The password to use when connecting as a hub client (if not supplied here, this is read from standard input)

HELP ARGUMENTS:

-v, --version

Prints Version Number

-V, --verbose

Verbose mode, prints debug messages

-h, --help

Prints this Help
