VERSION: 1.9.0

OPTIONS

  REQUIRED ARGUMENTS: One of:

-s, --server
    Run in P2P Server Mode

-c, --client <peer_hostname_or_IP_num>
    Run in P2P Client Mode

-S, --jacktripserver
    Run in Hub Server Mode

-C, --pingtoserver <peer_name_or_IP>
    Run in Hub Client Mode

  OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

-n, --numchannels #
    Number of Input and Output Channels (# greater than 0, default: 2)

--receivechannels #
    Number of receive Channels from the network (# greater than 0)

--sendchannels #
    Number of send Channels to the network (# greater than 0)

-q, --queue # (2 or more)
    Queue Buffer Length, in Packet Size (default: 4)

-r, --redundancy # (1 or more)
    Packet Redundancy to avoid glitches with packet losses (default: 1)

-o, --portoffset #
    Receiving bind port and peer port offset from default 4464

-B, --bindport #
    Set only the bind port number (default: 4464)

-P, --peerport #
    Set only the peer port number (default: 4464)

-U, --udpbaseport
    Set only the server udp base port number (default: 61002)

-b, --bitres # (8, 16, 24, 32)
    Audio Bit Rate Resolutions (default: 16, 32 uses floating-point)

-z, --zerounderrun
    Set buffer to zeros when underrun occurs (default: wavetable)

-t, --timeout
    Quit after 10 seconds of no network activity

-l, --loopback
    Run in Loop-Back Mode

-j, --jamlink
    Run in JamLink Mode (Connect to a JamLink Box)

-J, --clientname
    Change default client name (default: JackTrip)

-K, --remotename
    Change default remote client name when connecting to a hub server (the default is derived from this computer's external facing IP address)

--appendthreadid
    Append thread ID to client names

-L, --localaddress
    Change default local host IP address (default: 127.0.0.1)

-D, --nojackportsconnect
    Don't connect default audio ports in jack

--bufstrategy # (0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
    Use alternative jitter buffer

--broadcast <broadcast_queue>
    Duplicate receive ports with the specified broadcast_queue length. Broadcast outputs have higher latency but less packet loss.

--udprt
    Use RT thread priority for network I/O

  OPTIONS FOR AUDIO PATCHING IN HUB SERVER MODE:

-p, --hubpatch # (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    Hub auto audio patch, only has effect if running HUB SERVER mode, 0=server-to-clients, 1=client loopback, 2=client fan out/in but not loopback, 3=reserved for TUB, 4=full mix, 5=no auto patching (default: 0)

-i, --includeserver
    Include audio to and from the server in the mix when patching. Only affects -p 2 (client fan out/in but not loopback) and -p 4 (full mix) patch modes.

-u, --upmix
    Upmix mono clients to stereo when patching

  OPTIONAL SIGNAL PROCESSING:

-f, --effects # | paramString | help
    Turn on incoming and/or outgoing compressor and/or reverb in Client - see `-f help' for details

-O, --overflowlimiting i|o[w]|io[w]|n|help
    Use audio limiter(s) in Client, i=incoming from network, o=outgoing to network, io=both, n=no limiters, w=warn if limiting (default=n). Say -O help for more.

-a, --assumednumclients help|# (1,2,..)
    Assumed number of Clients (sources) mixing at Hub Server (otherwise 2 assumed by -O)

-T, --srate #
    Set the sampling rate, works only on some audio backends (default: 48000)

-F, --bufsize #
    Set the buffer size, works only on some audio backends (default: 128)

  ARGUMENTS TO USE JACKTRIP WITHOUT JACK:

-R, --rtaudio
    Use system's default sound system instead of Jack

--audiodevice "input-output device name"

--audiodevice "input device name","output device name"

--audioinputdevice "input device name"

--audiooutputdevice "output device name"
    Set audio device to use; if not set, the default device will be used

--listdevices
    List available audio devices

-d, --deviceid #
    Set rtaudio device id (DEPRECATED, use --audiodevice instead)

  ARGUMENTS TO DISPLAY IO STATISTICS:

-I, --iostat <time_in_secs>
    Turn on IO stat reporting with specified interval (in seconds)

-G, --iostatlog <log_file>
    Save stat log into a file (default: print in stdout)

-x, --examine-audio-delay <print_interval_in_secs> | help
    Print round-trip audio delay statistics. See `-x help' for details.

  ARGUMENTS TO SIMULATE NETWORK ISSUES:

--simloss <rate>
    Simulate packet loss

--simjitter <rate>,<d>
    Simulate jitter, d is max delay in packets

  ARGUMENTS FOR HUB CLIENT/SERVER AUTHENTICATION:

-A, --auth
    Use authentication on the client side, or require it on the server side

--certfile
    The certificate file to use on the hub server

--keyfile
    The private key file to use on the hub server

--credsfile
    The file containing the stored usernames and passwords

--username
    The username to use when connecting as a hub client (if not supplied here, this is read from standard input)

--password
    The password to use when connecting as a hub client (if not supplied here, this is read from standard input)

  ARGUMENTS FOR THE GUI:

--gui
    Force JackTrip to run with the GUI. If not using VirtualStudio mode, command line switches in the required arguments, optional arguments (except -l, -j, -L, --appendthreadid), audio patching, and authentication sections will be honoured, and default settings will be used where arguments aren't supplied. Options from other sections will be ignored (and the last used settings will be loaded), except for -V, and the --version and --help switches which will override this.

  HELP ARGUMENTS:
