rpld - RoarAudio PlayList Daemon

rpld [OPTIONS]

The RoarAudio PlayList Daemon is a daemon which manages playlists and can play files or streams from those lists using a RoarAudio Sound Server.

Show a small help.

Daemonize (go into background).

Start watchdog. This will automatically terminate the daemon if it stops responding.

Set default server to the RoarAudio server (e.g. roard) at SERVER.

The server to use for the Main Queue. Normally --server should be used.

Copies the serverinfo data from the given server. Use +default as server to use the data from the default server. The following data is copied from the server: location, description, contact, serial and uiurl.

Write a pidfile at PIDFILE.

Set size of the default history playlist to NUM entries. This may be overwritten by restoring a store. The special value of "default" can be used to not alter the value. This may be used by init scripts to keep the default.

Sets lion-readable location of server. Examples: livingroom, room 32

Sets lion-readable description of server. Examples: Stereo, UKW Transmitter

Sets contact information for the server.

Sets the serial number for this device or server. This is normally only used by embedded systems.

Sets the URL of the user interface for this device or server. This is normally only used by embedded systems. It is common to set this to a URL of type HTTP but all protocols are considered valid. This includes ssh, telnet and others.

Load plugin PLUGIN.

Set the plugin arguments for the plugin loaded next to ARGS. This must always be used before --plugin-load.

Sets UID to USER.

Sets GID to GROUP.

Allow one to run as root. This is a bad thing to do. Do never set this option. This will open very bad security holes!

Restore state from store.

Do not restore state from store.

will restore old state if possible. This is a non-fatal version of --restore.

Store state on exit.

Do not store state on exit.

Location where to store/restore from/to.

Start in playling state.

Start in stopped state (default).

Do not create a default queue. If set and no store is loaded or the loaded store does not contain any queues itself rpld will not connect to any RoarAudio server at startup at all. This is mainly for debuggung and testing.

Set role for streams (default: music). The special value of "default" can be used to use the default.

Set the sample rate the codec helper uses as it's output format.

Set the number of bits the codec helper uses as it's output format.

Set the number of channels the codec helper uses as it's output format.

Set the codec the codec helper uses as it's output format.

Load playlist PLAYLIST of type TYPE from file FILE. The playlist is created if it does not exist.

The old name of --playlist-import. Should not be used.

Listen on TCP Socket.

Listen on DECnet Socket.

Listen on port PORT. This is only useful for TCP listen sockets.

Listen on address ADDR.

Set protocol of listen socket.

Sets the accesslevel for this socket to LEV.

Opens an additional listen socket.

Enable OpenSLP support.

Do not add a default listening socket. This option is in general not very useful for any user. It is only useful for specal tests and with --client-fh.

Added a client at the given FH to rpld. This option is in general not very useful for any user.

This closes a given FH at startup time. This option is in general not very useful for any user.
