Installation

To install, run

% cargo install bitfire

✨ new in 2.0.0! ✨ Configuration

With configuration, you can store a custom table as well you preference for using kbps with a config file. By default, bitfire will search ~/.config/bitfire/config.json for config. However, you can change this by changing the $BITFIRE_CONFIG environment variable or by passing in -c <PATH> or --config-path <PATH>. The json file recognizes 2 fields: "table" (a 'dictionary' or 'hashmap' consisting of strings and floats) as well as "use_kbps_by_default" (a boolean). The default configuration looks like this:

{
    "table": {
        "1080p": 3.000,
        "720p": 1.500,
        "540p": 0.989,
        "360p": 0.460,
        "270p": 0.327,
        "180p": 0.193
    },
    "use_kbps_by_default": false
}
