You can change any part of the configuration (and even upgrade to a newer version of Cubemap) by changing cubemap.config and sending a SIGHUP; all clients will continue as if nothing had happened (unless you delete the stream they are watching, of course). Cubemap also survives the encoder dying and reconnecting. .IP \[bu] Support for setting max pacing rate through the fq packet scheduler (depends on Linux 3.13 or newer). .IP \[bu] Reflects anything VLC can reflect over HTTP, even the muxes VLC has problems reflecting itself (in particular, FLV). .IP \[bu] Multicast support, both for sending and receiving (supports only protocols that can go over UDP, e.g. MPEG-TS). Supports both ASM and SSM. .IP \[bu] IPv4 support. Yes, Cubemap even supports (some) legacy protocols. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-\-test\-config\fR, \fB\-t\fR tests the config and exits .TP \fBFILE\fR configuration file (defaults to cubemap.config in the current directory) .SH AUTHOR .B cubemap was written by Steinar H.
