This package provides UDP Source and Sink, that read and write to UDP sockets.

## Installation

Add the following line to your `deps` in `mix.exs`. Run `mix deps.get`.

```elixir
	{:membrane_udp_plugin, "~> 0.14.0"}
```

## Usage example

The `example/` folder contains examples of sending and receiving UDP streams.

The `UDPDemo.Receive` retrieves packets from UDP socket and saves the data to the `/tmp/udp-recv.mp4` file.
```bash
$ elixir examples/receive.exs
```

The `UDPDemo.Send` downloads an example file over HTTP and sends it over UDP socket via localhost:5001.
It should be started after the receiver server is already running.
```bash
$ elixir examples/send.exs
```

Bear in mind that for other files/sending pipelines you may need do adjust
[`recv_buffer_size`](https://hexdocs.pm/membrane_udp_plugin/Membrane.UDP.Source.html#module-element-options)
option in `Membrane.UDP.Source` that determines the maximum size of received packets.
