                      [--jack-client JACK_CLIENT] [--jack-port JACK_PORT]
                      --multicast-group MULTICAST_GROUP
                      [--multicast-port MULTICAST_PORT]
                      [--multicast-ttl MULTICAST_TTL] --interface-ip
                      INTERFACE_IP [--buffer-size BUFFER_SIZE]

Options:

• -h, --help: Show the help message and exit.
• --mode {audio_send,audio_recv,midi_send,midi_recv}: The mode of operation.
• --jack-client JACK_CLIENT: Name of the JACK client to register.
• --jack-port JACK_PORT: Name of the JACK port to register.
• --multicast-group MULTICAST_GROUP: Multicast group for sending/receiving data.
• --multicast-port MULTICAST_PORT: Port number for multicast.
• --multicast-ttl MULTICAST_TTL: Time-To-Live for multicast packets.
• --interface-ip INTERFACE_IP: Network interface IP address to use for multicast.
• --buffer-size BUFFER_SIZE: Buffer size for audio data.

Examples

To send audio:

jack_netbridge --mode audio_send --jack-client AudioSender --jack-port AudioOut --multicast-group 239.0.0.1 --interface-ip 192.168.1.10

To receive audio:

jack_netbridge --mode audio_recv --jack-client AudioReceiver --jack-port AudioIn --multicast-group 239.0.0.1 --interface-ip 192.168.1.11
