feat(mux): one TS republish, shared by import ts and import srt by kixelated · Pull Request #8831 · moq-dev/moq

kixelated · 2026-11-15T12:48:43Z

Summary

moq import ts and moq import srt now republish a stepped single-program TS source through one moq-mux implementation, container::ts::Republish, the single-program sibling of Programs. Before this, moq-srt kept its own copy: each new instance went out on a default, visible route with a default catalog, so it was announced before it could serve anything, and it re-armed the 2 s mux-rate hold on every step. The guide said a republished stream "keeps the measured mux rate", which was false for SRT.

ts::Republish owns the route, catalog and importer of each instance. It creates every instance hidden, announces it once its catalog goes out, and seeds the next catalog with the measured mpegts.muxRate. decode returns Option<ts::Republished> (the Step and the finished instance's stats), so callers no longer downcast ts::Restart out of an error.
Input after the step is held, and the next decode call reads it first. The caller sets its per-instance catalog sections in between: the CLI's --report track and echo.
Only the last instance has to declare a track. A source that steps before its first catalog went out (for example inside the mux-rate window) republishes instead of failing.
The CLI drops its Republish, ts_import and the ts::Restart downcast. moq-srt drops its Instance/One copy.
Docs: doc/bin/ts.md no longer says SRT carries "the same import and export" (SRT has no passthrough), and it says the republish applies to SRT too. doc/bin/srt.md says a reconnect replaces the stale feed once the new one has declared its tracks, not "at once".
The m3 multi-program restart quest now points at ts::Republish to reuse.

Public API

moq-mux, additive: container::ts::Republish, container::ts::Republished and container::ts::republish::Finished.
ts::Import::decode is unchanged. It still fails with the ts::Restart error for a caller that uses Import directly, so that error stays.
moq-srt: Publisher's API is unchanged. Behavior change: a single-program ingest is now announced once its catalog goes out, not at connect. A reconnect therefore replaces the stale connection once its tracks are declared.
Wire: none.

Choices made without the maintainer (all reversible in review)

Import keeps its error path. Import::decode still returns ts::Restart as an error. Republish calls a crate-private decode_or_restart instead of downcasting. Making Import::decode return a #[must_use] enum would touch about 400 call sites, many of them in files the sibling TS quests are editing, and anyone who wants to carry on past a step should use Republish.
Per-instance setup works as a pause, not a callback. After Republished, the remainder is held until the next decode call. That gives the caller a point to add its own catalog sections and tracks to the new instance before it reads anything. finish reads any input still held, republishing again (and logging a warning) at a step inside it.
with_instance replaces the first instance. The CLI shares one instance across a run's broadcasts, so Republish::with_instance reopens the never-announced first instance under that ID.
Publish::new refuses TS. Only tests used it for TS. A TS import now always goes through Publish::stdin on an origin, and those tests moved to a ts_stdin() helper.
SRT announces later. SRT's single-program ingest now announces once its catalog goes out, matching the CLI and Programs (the quest's "stays hidden until its catalog is out").

Validation

just rs test -p moq-cli -p moq-srt -p moq-mux: 2375 passed. just check passes.
New moq-mux tests in republish.rs:
- A switch comes back as Republished; the new instance is hidden, has a new instance ID, carries the rate measured on the same clip, is announced once its catalog goes out, and reads the input from the step on. Run at three chunk sizes.
- A switch inside the mux-rate window republishes instead of failing.
- Input with no track fails without announcing.
Mutation checks: carrying no mux rate fails the first test. Requiring a track from a stepped instance fails the second.
Real surface: built moq and ran import srt --listen with export ts --stitch --follow 30s in one process, self-hosted on a Unix socket. I pushed a TS with a 3605 s unflagged rewind (bbb5s_cbr at +3600 s, then at 0) through srt-live-transmit, paced with pv. The log shows moq_srt::ts: the source changed; republishing step=clock went back 3604.977626666s without a discontinuity_indicator instance=982c…, and the exported TS carries video from both passes.
moq-srt tests that assumed an immediate announcement now feed media first. a_reconnect_replaces_the_stale_connection also checks that a request still reaches the stale connection until the reconnect's catalog is out.

Caused by

moq-dev/moq#7144: gave moq-srt its own restart, which put each new instance on a visible route with a default catalog (found by reviewer: the feature review). moq-dev/moq#7293 and moq-dev/moq#7780 then fixed only the CLI copy.

Follow-ups

None.

Quest-Claim: aad1dc9a150fa44b

ts::Republish imports one program onto a path and republishes it under a new instance at each change of source, returning the step as a value. Each instance stays hidden until its catalog goes out and carries the measured mux rate, which moq-srt's copy did neither of. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

ℹ️ No critical issues — a few small rough edges inline.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed the move of the single-program TS republish into moq-mux and both callers switching to it.

ts::Republish in moq-mux — Owns each instance's hidden route, mpegts catalog and importer. It returns a step as Republished and holds the remainder until the next decode. The next catalog starts with the measured mux_rate, and only the last instance has to declare a track.
Import::decode_or_restart — A crate-private path that returns the step as a value. The public Import::decode still fails with ts::Restart.
moq-cli import ts — Drops its own Republish/ts_import and the downcast. It sets --report/echo again per instance through Sections, and refuses TS in Publish::new.
moq-srt — Drops its One/Instance copy. A single-program ingest now stays hidden until its catalog goes out, and keeps the mux rate across a step.
Docs and quests — doc/bin/ts.md and doc/bin/srt.md now describe SRT accurately. The completed quest is removed, and the m3 multi-program quest now points at ts::Republish.

I traced the held/remainder merge in Republish::decode, the error paths through Instance::finish, and the CLI's republished loop. Each step's remainder reaches the next instance before any new input, and a failed finish aborts with its cause.

with_instance throws away a whole instance. new already opened a route, a catalog producer and an importer under a random ID, and this opens a second set on the same path. It also needs the "call it before filling the catalog" caveat and a second ?. Since this is new public API, consider having new take the first moq_net::Instance. moq-srt would pass moq_net::Instance::random(), the CLI would pass its shared one, and both with_instance and its ordering rule would go away.

+fn listed(pending: &mut Option<moq_net::track::Consumer>, route: &moq_net::origin::Route) -> anyhow::Result<bool> {


listed repeats Program::announce_if_listed in programs.rs (lines 148-163) almost line for line. Only the error context differs. Since this PR is about having one implementation, Program::announce_if_listed could call this, with the program number added as context, so the announce-when-the-catalog-goes-out rule lives in one place.

-				let stats = finished.import.stats();
+			Importer::One(republish) => {
+				let finished = republish.finish().map_err(moq_mux::Error::from)?;


This changes behavior beyond the announce timing: an SRT connection that closes before it declares a track now fails here with "input ended before it declared a track". Before, it finished cleanly and kept an empty, announced broadcast up for the linger. import srt --listen now logs it as SRT ingest ended with error, and import srt --connect returns the error. That matches import ts, but the PR's Public API notes list only the announce change, so it's worth adding this one too.

ts_stdin was inserted between resolved's doc comment and resolved. Now ts_stdin's doc starts with "A source for the broadcast at path, resolved through origin." and resolved (line 1500) has no doc comment. Move that line back above resolved.

Walkthrough

A shared TS republisher now manages successive instances after source changes. It preserves the measured mux rate, retains input across a restart, and announces an instance after its catalog is listed. CLI stdin publishing and single-program SRT publishing now use this republisher. The documentation and planning documents also describe or refer to the updated republishing behavior.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 17c71

The new shared TS republisher, used by both CLI and SRT imports, can end a stream as if it completed normally when finishing fails on leftover input. Viewers and recordings then get a truncated stream with no error signal. Abort the instance on that failure, and add the --program all exception to the SRT docs, before merging.

Exclude --program all from the republishing claim.

If the user selects --program all, a source timeline change ends the ingest instead of republishing it. The Publisher documentation at Lines 41–44 states this exception. Add the exception beside this claim so users do not expect automatic continuation.

As per coding guidelines, “State a claim's conditions with it” and include “the paths it does not cover.”

Abort the current instance when the final decode fails.

If held input contains valid media followed by a multi-program PAT, self.decode(&[])? returns MultipleProgramsError before Instance::finish runs. Dropping self then lets Import::drop finish the still-open media tracks cleanly. Readers do not receive the error that caused Republish::finish to fail.

Handle this error explicitly. Abort the current instance with the cause before returning it. This also preserves the abort guarantee documented for finish.

As per coding guidelines, “abort(err) closes with an error.”
