# tsreport(1)

get info about the streams within a transport stream.

## NAME

**tsreport** – get info about the streams within a transport stream.

## SYNOPSIS

**tsinfo** \[**-err stdout**\] \[**-err stderr**\] \[**-verbose** \| **-v**\] \[**-timing** \| **-t**\] \[**-max** *max\_read* \| **-m** *max\_read*\] \[**-data**\] *file* \| **-stdin**

**tsinfo** **-buffering** \| **-b** \[**-err stdout**\] \[**-err stderr**\] \[**-verbose** \| **-v**\] \[**-quiet** \| **-q**\] \[**-max** *max\_read* \| **-m** *max\_read*\] \[**-o** *csv\_file* \[**-32**\]\] \[**-cnt**\] \[**-prog** *prog\_no*\] \[**-tfmt** *time\_format*\] \[**-tafmt** *time\_format*\] *file* \| **-stdin**

**tsinfo** **-justpid** *pid* \[**-err stdout**\] \[**-err stderr**\] \[**-max** *max\_read* \| **-m** *max\_read*\] *file* \| **-stdin**

## DESCRIPTION

Report on the streams in a Transport Stream.  In general the most useful inforation is returned by the **-b** option.

### Common options

- **-err stdout**

  Write error messages to standard output (the default)

- **-err stderr**

  Write error messages to standard error (Unix traditional)

- **-v**, **-verbose**

  Output extra information about packets

- **-q**, **-quiet**

  Output less information

- **-m** *max\_scan*, **-max** *max\_scan*

  *max\_scan* is the Number of TS packets to scan. Defaults to the entire file.

- **-stdin**

  Input from standard input, instead of a file

- *file*

  The transport stream file to get info on. If **-stdin** is specified then no *file* is expected

### Fl b , Fl buffering

Report on the differences between PCR and PTS, and between PCR and DTS. This is relevant to the size of buffers needed in the decoder.  Also reports bitrates; the max bitrate is calculated over 0.5sec

- **-o** *csv\_file* \[**-32**\]

  Output timing in to a CSV file called *csv\_file*. If **-32** is used as well then the timing ifo is restricted to the bottom 32 bits

- **-cnt** *pid*

  Check values of continuity\_counter for pid *pid*. Writes all the values of the counter to a file called *continuity\_counter.txt*.

- **-prog** *prog\_no*

  Report on program prog\_no \[default = 1\] (hopefully default will be 'all' in the future)

- **-tfmt** *time\_format*

  Specify format of time differences.

- **-tafmt** *time\_format*

  Specify format of absolute times.

  *time\_format* is one of

  - **90**

    \[Default\] show as 90KHz timestamps (suffix 't' on the values: e.g., 4362599t).

  - **27**

    Show as 27MHz timestamps (similar, e.g., 25151:000t).

  - **32**

    Show as 90KHz timestamps, but only the low 32 bits.

  - **ms**

    Show as milliseconds.

  - **hms**

    Show as hours/minutes/seconds (H:MM:SS.ssss, the H can be more than one digit if necessary)

### Fl justpid Ar pid

Just show data (file offset, index, adaptation field and payload) for TS packets with the given PID. PID 0 is allowed (i.e., the PAT)
