NAME

rpld - RoarAudio PlayList Daemon

SYNOPSIS

rpld [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

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

MISC OPTIONS

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.

SECURITY OPTIONS

PLAYBACK OPTIONS

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.
