libpipewire-module-vban-recv(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual libpipewire-module-vban-recv(7)

# [NAME](#NAME)

libpipewire-module-vban-recv - VBAN receiver

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The vban-recv module creates a PipeWire source that receives audio and midi VBAN packets.

The receive will listen on a specific port (6980) and create a stream for each VBAN stream received on the port.

# [MODULE NAME](#MODULE_NAME)

libpipewire-module-vban-recv

# [MODULE OPTIONS](#MODULE_OPTIONS)

Options specific to the behavior of this module

- local.ifname = <str>: interface name to use
- source.ip = <str>: the source ip address to listen on, default 127.0.0.1
- source.port = <int>: the source port to listen on, default 6980
- node.always-process = <bool>: true to receive even when not running
- sess.latency.msec = <str>: target network latency in milliseconds, default 100
- stream.props = {}: properties to be passed to all the stream
- stream.rules = <rules>: match rules, use create-stream actions.

## stream.rules matches

- vban.ip: the IP address of the VBAN sender
- vban.port: the port of the VBAN sender
- sess.name: the name of the VBAN stream

## stream.rules create-stream

In addition to all the properties that can be passed to a stream, you can also set:

•

sess.latency.msec = <str>: target network latency in milliseconds, default 100
