srt-live-transmit stats question

Hello,

I wonder where the "sid" key in stats comes from, can it be pre-defined when srt-live-transmit starts?

"sid" is "socket ID", the socket's numerical value, the one that is returned by srt_create_socket() and used in the operations. This can be normally ignored if you have a single SRT connection on one end, but it may be important in case when you do SRT-to-SRT flipping or a group-connection (actually not available in srt-live-transmit, but the same is available in srt-test-live).

@ethouris Thank you for your answer. I am using several srt-live-transmit in my lab environment, fired up by systemd and stats collected from stdout with systemd journal and this sid looks a sa good discriminator between processes.
