+- `ffmpeg -f dshow -audio_buffer_size 10 -i audio=virtual-audio-capturer -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -i desktop -vf scale=-1:480 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset fast -tune zerolatency -c:a aac -bufsize 2M -maxrate 1M -f mpegts - | fstream-client.py 127.0.0.1:1337 broadcast fier 123` - Broadcast as `fier` to `127.0.0.1:1337`, supplying `123` as a password. Pipe the output from ffmpeg.
+
+# Server Protocol
+The protocol is currently in an early stage, and is bound to change.  
+.  
+## Establishing a connection
+Establish a TCP connection with the server, and send the payload. If the server likes your payload, it will stream data to you, or accept more of your data.
+
+## The payload
+Send a UTF-8 string identifying the client's intentions. **Fill the request with trailing spaces until the request is 1000 bytes.**
+
+- `watch,fier,123` - Watch `fier`'s stream, supplying `123` as the watch password (optional). It will blast you with the media data.
+- `broadcast,fier,123` - Broadcast as `fier`, supplying `123` as the broadcast password, as configured on the server. May be optional if not set. Just blast the data to the server after this.
