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.
