Emit a stream consisting of self-contained frames --e.g. by disabling the MPEG-1 bit reservoir. Useful mostly for debugging.

The constant stream data rate in kilobits per second. Default value is 128. Use of this option is mutually exclusive with that of the --audio-quality option (see below).

The number of audio channels to use. Valid values are 1 or 2. Default value is 2.

The type of audio device to use. The default value is JACK. See the DEVICE OPTIONS section (below) for the options appropriate for each audio device type. Valid values are:

ALSA

FILE

JACK

The audio encoding format to use. The default value is VORBIS. Valid fmt values are:

MP2

MP3

OPUS

PCM16

VORBIS

Use variable bitrate streaming at the given audio quality. qual can be in the range 0.0 (lowest quality) to 1.0 (highest). Use of this option is mutually exclusive with that of the --audio-bitrate option (see above).

The audio sample rate to use for streaming. If the underlying audio layer is operating at a different sample rate, the input will be automatically resampled to this rate. Default value is 44100.

Get the credentials for connecting to the server in the filename file. The contents of the file should be formatted as follows:

[Credentials]
Username=<username>
Password=<password>

When using the --ssh-identity option, the passphrase for the specified identity file should be used as the password value.

Delete the file specified by --credentials-file after being read.

Prepend string to messages sent to the syslog service (see the --errors-to option, below). Useful for disambiguating messages from multiple glasscoder(1) instances.

Send error messages to dest (default standard error). Valid destinations are:

STDERR

SYSLOG

STDOUT

Print a short usage message and exit.

Print a list of available codecs and then exit.

Print a list of available source devices and then exit.

Accept metadata updates via HTTP at port port. Default value is 0, which disables metadata updates. See the METADATA section (below) for information regarding the supported update formats.

Output meter level updates on standard output. Useful for driving an external metering display.

The authentication parameters to use. This parameter has no default.

NEVER USE THIS OPTION! It allows credentials to be seen by other users on the system. Use the --credentials-file option to specify server credentials instead.

Exit the program upon closure of the last player connection. This setting is used only by the IceStreamer server.

Allow a maximum of conns simultaneous player connections. Players beyond this maximum attempting to connect will receive an immediate TCP disconnect before the HTTP handshake. This setting is used only by the IceStreamer server.

Do not clean up or delete content previously posted to the publishing point. This setting is used only by the HLS server type.

Location to create a UNIX socket for piping connection socket descriptors. Useful for implementing proxy connectors for the IceStreamer server. For further details about this feature, see the Proxy Connections section of the glasscoder-ipc(7) man page. The default is to create no UNIX socket. This setting is used only by the IceStreamer server.

Run the command cmd when the connection enters the disconnected state.

Run the command cmd when the connection enters the connected state.

Do not start the audio transport until at least conns connections have been established. Used only by the IceStreamer server in conjunction with the FILE audio device. Default value is 0 --i.e. start the transport immediately.

The type of streaming server to use (default is Icecast2). Valid values for type are:

FILE

FILEARCHIVE

HLS

IceCast2

IceOut

IceStreamer

Shout1

Shout2

The URL describing the server resource to stream to. See the SUPPORTED URL SCHEMES section (below) for a list of what URL schemes are appropriate for which server types.

When used with a --server-type of IceStreamer, the host part of the URL is used to specify the address of the network interface to use for streaming (use 0.0.0.0 to indicate ALL interfaces). This parameter has no default.

The User-Agent header value to use when connecting to external servers. Default value is GlassCoder/2.0.1. This setting is used only by IceCast2 and HLS servers.

The path to the file containing an ssh(1) identity to use when connecting via SFTP. When using this option, the passphrase for the identity file should be provided as the server password. See the --credentials-file option for details.

The AOL Instant Messenger ID to associate with the stream. There is no default value. This setting is used only by Shoutcast servers.

The string to show as the stream description. There is no default value. This setting is used only by Icecast servers.

The string to show as the stream genre. There is no default value. This setting is used only by Icecast and Shoutcast servers.

The ICQ ID to associate with the stream. There is no default value. This setting is used only by Shoutcast servers.

The Internet Relay Chat ID to associate with the stream. There is no default value. This setting is used only by Shoutcast servers.

The string to show as the stream name. There is no default value. This setting is used only by Icecast and Shoutcast servers.

The offset to add to the value of stream timestamps, in seconds. Default value is 0. This setting is used only for HLS streams.

The URL to show for a page giving more information about the stream. There is no default value. This setting is used only by Icecast and Shoutcast servers, but is ignored by Shoutcast v2 servers.

Increase verbosity level of information printed to standard error. WARNING: this may cause cleartext passwords to printed!

Output version information and exit.
