Recommendation: ITERATEPositive improvement? Yes. Recording the whole-multiplex CBR rate on import and padding export with nulls closes a real IRD/groomer gap (mux rate is not recoverable from MoQ alone). The meter design is thoughtful: half-second samples, 2% agreement / 1% drift, clear-on-discontinuity, VBR stays absent, and export without the field stays byte-identical. Worth the complexity? Mostly — the fixed-point Different approach / required fixes before merge:

Document the accepted --mux-rate range.
--mux-rate 0 and values above 1_000_000_000 parse successfully, but the exporter ignores them after a warning. State the valid range of 1..=1_000_000_000 bits per second and the invalid-value behavior.

Cap total stuffing credit across a backfill gap.
When first retains 40 PCR slots, the first stuff call credits 40 slots. pcr_at then advances last_pcr, so the remaining 39 calls credit one slot each. With STUFFING_UNIT = 60,160 and the accepted 1 Gb/s rate, this permits up to 1,313,165 null packets, or 246,875,020 bytes. Reset the stuffing accounting anchor immediately before first, or credit one slot for each retained PCR slot.

`moq import ts` measures the multiplex rate off the PCR PID (every packet, stuffing included, over the ticks between clocks) and records it as `mpegts.muxRate` once a two-second window of half-second samples agrees on it, clearing the field when the source stops holding the rate or declares a time-base break. `moq export ts` pads its output with null packets to that rate, settling a fixed-point packet balance before every clock packet so the remainder carries across slots; `Export::with_mux_rate` and `moq export ts --mux-rate` override the catalog.

The catalog muxRate is untrusted input that reached the stuffing allocator unbounded: any u64 padded to nulls = balance / UNIT with a reserve plus loop, and rate as i64 wrapped past i64::MAX. Sanitize at both entries (builder override and catalog snapshot) to 1..=1 Gb/s, warn and leave the output unpadded when refused, convert with try_from in stuff(), and cap nulls per call to what the credited slots allow. Regression tests abort (SIGABRT in the allocator) without the fix.

A broadcast that came in as a CBR multiplex left
moq export tsas a VBR one: the source's null stuffing is gone by the time media rides MoQ, and nothing recorded the rate it was padded to. An IRD or groomer had to be told the rate, or measure it (see mpegts-pacer, whose README calls the mux rate "not recoverable from MoQ").Approach
ts/mux_rate.rs.mux_rateunits, one packet = 1504 × 40 units, so nothing rounds per slot) and every packet sent debits one;floor(max(balance, 0))nulls go out ahead of the clock packet, in the frame that precedes it. Media is never delayed or dropped; debt and credit are both capped at one second (credit matches the clock backfill cap), and the debt cap logs once per overrun.Export::with_mux_rateoverrides the catalog;moq export ts --mux-rate <bps>calls it. The flag lives on a newTransportargs struct so it doesn't leak ontoflv/h264/h265.test_data/bbb_cbr.ts(145 KB):bbb5s.tsremuxed withffmpeg -t 2.8 -c copy -muxrate 400000, byte-locked with 42% stuffing. The Kyrion captures turned out unusable for this:kyrion_dirtystartstamps PCR at 0.5 ms granularity and wanders ±1.2% per half second (hence the 2% sample tolerance, which it now passes), andkyrion_mpeg2av_ac3is byte-locked but its PMT arrives 1 s in, leaving one interval short of a window.Impact
