MPEG-TS Analyzer

Astra MPEG-TS Analyzer is built-in tool to analyze MPEG-TS streams.

Launch with Web Interface

astra --analyze [OPTIONS] -p PORT

Options:

• -p PORT - specify the port to use for web interface;
• --daemon - start in daemon mode;
• --log /var/log/relay.log - full path to the log file.

The web interface analyses one source at a time: its home page is a source form (an input URL or a DVB adapter tuning) and a list of recent addresses kept in the browser, so each browser has its own list. A click on a recent address fills the form, and leaving the analysis (Back, closing or reloading the tab) stops it. To analyse several sources at once, open the page in several tabs.

Launch in console

astra --analyze [OPTIONS] ADDRESS

Options:

• -n seconds - stop analyzer after defined time
• -o file - save stream received stream to the file

Astra logs information directly to the console. For example:

> astra --analyze "udp://239.255.1.1:1234"
