docs(cli): add a broadcast primary-distribution recipe - #2830
Conversation
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
WalkthroughAdded documentation for redundant MPEG-TS broadcast distribution. The documentation covers paired sources, QUIC transport, authentication, multicast RTP ingestion with TSDuck, independent relays, regional fan-out, and receiver handoff. It also describes restoring constant bitrate with Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new broadcast distribution recipe currently overstates encryption coverage and omits synchronization requirements for redundant handoff, which could lead readers to deploy unprotected RTP legs or a failover path that does not switch cleanly; the diagram also renders as code rather than a visual. These documentation correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Around line 561-566: Update the transport-security description near the
MPEG-TS handoff to limit the QUIC encryption claim to MoQ connections, and
document the required protection for the RTP-over-UDP multicast input and
pacer-to-IRD output legs. Preserve the existing guidance about replacing the
anonymous path with a path-scoped JWT and using mTLS for relay peering.
- Around line 577-588: Update the publisher reuse guidance around the `--origin`
example to require synchronized starts and aligned track names, content, group
boundaries, and clock state before sharing an origin; otherwise instruct users
to choose different origins and document takeover behavior.
- Around line 543-559: Enable Mermaid rendering for the documentation by
configuring the VitePress setup in config.ts and adding the required package
configuration in package.json, so the existing mermaid flowchart renders as a
diagram instead of a code block. Alternatively, replace the Mermaid fence with
markup already supported by the documentation system.

| ## Broadcast primary distribution | ||
|
|
||
| `import ts` and `export ts` carry a broadcast primary-distribution mux end to | ||
| end, and the relay fans it out to as many receiving sites as required. | ||
| Redundancy is achieved by doubling the chain rather than by any one component: a | ||
| redundant source, two publishers, two relays, two subscribers, and receivers | ||
| that select between the two outputs. | ||

VitePress 1.6 markdown Mermaid code fence built-in support unsupported language fences rendered as code
💡 Result:
VitePress does not include built-in support for rendering Mermaid diagrams [1]. If you include a Mermaid code fence (e.g., ```mermaid) in a VitePress 1.6 project without additional configuration, it will be rendered as a plain text code block [2]. To enable Mermaid diagram rendering in VitePress, you must use a community-developed plugin or custom implementation. Several options are available, including: 1. vitepress-plugin-mermaid: A popular plugin that integrates Mermaid by wrapping the VitePress configuration [3][4]. 2. vitepress-mermaid-viewer: Provides additional features like downloading diagrams and flexible configuration [5]. 3. @unify-js/vitepress-mermaid: Offers interactive features such as fullscreen preview, zoom, and panning [6]. 4. Custom Implementation: You can also implement a custom markdown-it plugin or Vue component to process Mermaid diagrams, which allows for deeper control over theme synchronization (e.g., matching VitePress dark/light mode) [7]. Regarding "unsupported" language fences, VitePress uses Shiki for syntax highlighting [8][9]. Any language fence that does not have specific rendering logic (like a Mermaid plugin) and is not recognized by Shiki or configured as a custom alias will typically render as a standard, syntax-highlighted code block based on Shiki's default handling [8]. If a language is entirely unknown to Shiki, it will render as a plain code block without highlighting. Top results: [2][3][1][7][5][6][8][9]

Enable Mermaid rendering for the published documentation.
doc/.vitepress/config.ts and doc/package.json do not configure Mermaid, so this fence renders as a code block. Add a Mermaid renderer or replace the diagram with supported markup.

Scope the encryption claim to QUIC links.
The documented multicast input and mpegts-pacer --rtp output use RTP over UDP. Therefore, Every hop is QUIC is not correct for the source-to-publisher or pacer-to-IRD paths. State that only the MoQ connections are QUIC-encrypted, and document the required protection for the RTP legs.

Document the alignment requirement before reusing --origin 42.
The earlier Redundant Publishers section requires aligned track names, content, and MoQ group boundaries. Seeing the same bytes is not sufficient. Require synchronized starts and aligned group or clock state for the shared origin, or use different origins and document the takeover behavior.

Adds a## Broadcast primary distributionsection: multicast RTP ingest, relays, handoff to a receiver, and a redundant (1+1) handoff, plus a pointer to it from### MPEG-TS.export tsoutput is not constant-rate and needs a CBR pacer for a hardware IRD, and redundancy comes from doubling the chain rather than from any one component.##level after## Container Formatsrather than nested inside### MPEG-TS: nothing indoc/bin/uses####or deeper, and the default outline only lists##, so a nested version would be invisible in the page nav. Happy to move it if you would rather it sat inside the MPEG-TS subsection.--server-quic-congestion-control delayand--server-quic-mtu-discovery=trueflags in the relay recipe are what a long-haul TS trunk wants; the reasoning stays in/bin/relay/config, which the surrounding text already links.Two things to decide
mermaidblock, andvitepress-plugin-mermaidis not a dependency, so today it renders as a syntax-highlighted code block rather than a diagram. The build passes either way. Happy to add the plugin in this PR, or to replace the block with a plain-text diagram, whichever you prefer.### SRTsits three sections away under## Network Gateways. It is the other broadcast-contribution transport in this document, so moving it next to### MPEG-TS(or next to this new section) would put the broadcast paths together.The pacer named in the handoff recipes is external and offered as one option rather than a recommendation, consistent with a generic egress sink being scoped out of core in #1839.
