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] Per-stream fwmark support, for TCP pacing through tc (separate config needed). .IP \[bu] Support for setting max pacing rate through the fq packet scheduler (obsoletes the previous point, but depends on experimental kernel patches that will hit Linux in 3.13 at the earliest) .IP \[bu] Reflects anything VLC can reflect over HTTP, even the muxes VLC has problems reflecting itself (in particular, FLV). .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.
