examples
The command
tcmodinfo -i smooth
prints information about the smooth filter.
tcmodinfo -i levels -t filter
same as above for levels filter (-t filter it’s the default)
tcmodinfo -i raw -t multiplex
same as above for raw multiplexor
tcmodinfo -i xvid -t encode
same as above for XviD encoder
transcode --socket /tmp/tc-socket &
echo help | tcmodinfo -s /tmp/tc-socket
prints the socket help text and exits.
tcmodinfo -s /tmp/tc-socket
Will drop you into an interactive "shell" where you can talk to
the socket.
description
tcmodinfo
loads a supplied transcode(1) module and prints its
parameters, or inquiry about default settings. It can also
connect to transcode through a socket to do runtime
configuration of transcode and its filters. Anyway, this
last feature may be moved to some other helper program in
future releases.
options
-i
name
Specify the name of the module.
Name is specified without the prefix (i.e.,
filter_)_ and without the suffix .so So if you
want information about filter_smooth.so, just supply
smooth
-m path
Look in Path instead of
the compiled-in module path for a module.
-t type
Specify the Type of
module to load. Default is filter modules. In current
(1.1.0) release, tcmodinfo support ’filter’,
’encode’ and ’multiplex’ module
types. More types will be added in future releases, to cover
all the transcode module range.
-M parameter
Print out the default setting
of given parameter of a given (use -i/-t options too)
module. If parameter isn’t known, nothing will be
print out.
Caution: -M can’t be used together with -C
-C configuration
string
Request to configure the module
using given configuration string. Meaning of configuration
string is of course module dependent, but format is always
param1:key1=val1:param2:param3:key2=val2
This option is used for debug purposes, you usually
shouldn’t need it.
Caution: -C can’t be used together with -M
-s socket
Connect to socket
socket. You can use this socket to do runtime
configuration of transcode. For all the boring details about
the socket protocol have a look at
/docs/filter-socket.txt. transcode has to be started
with the --socket option to open the
socket.
-d verbosity
Specify the verbosiness level
to use, like transcode does. Default value is 1 (TC_INFO
verbosiness).
-p
Print the compiled-in module path and exit.
-v
Print version information and exit.
