NAME¶
ezstream-file
—
script to stream files from the command line
SYNOPSIS¶
ezstream-file |
[ -hnqVv ]
[-T cfg_template ]
[file ... ] |
DESCRIPTION¶
The
ezstream-file
script uses an
ezstream
configuration file template to
stream a list of files given on the command line, or via standard input. In
other words, filenames are written to a temporary playlist, and a
template-based configuration is generated to stream them.
The path to a configuration template must be provided, either by using the
-T
command line argument, or the
EZSTREAM_TEMPLATE
environment variable.
The configuration template must be a valid playlist configuration, and contain
the follwing configuration statement:
<filename>%FILENAME%</filename>
If no input files are specified, the list of files to be streamed are read from
standard input.
Lastly, the
EZSTREAM
environment variable
allows to specify an alternate
ezstream
binary.
