NAME

4     ezstream-file.sh — script to stream files from the command line
5

SYNOPSIS

7     ezstream-file.sh [-hqrVv] [-p pidfile] [-T cfg_template] [file ...]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     The ezstream-file.sh script uses an ezstream configuration file template
11     to stream a list of files given on the command line, or via standard
12     input.  In other words, filenames are written to a temporary playlist,
13     and a template-based configuration is generated to stream them.
14
15     The path to a configuration template must be provided, either by using
16     the -T command line argument, or the EZSTREAM_TEMPLATE environment vari‐
17     able.
18
19     The configuration template must be a valid playlist configuration, and
20     contain the follwing configuration statement inside the <media /> block:
21
22           <filename>%FILENAME%</filename>
23
24     If no input files are specified, the list of files to be streamed are
25     read from standard input.
26
27     Lastly, the EZSTREAM environment variable allows to specify an alternate
28     ezstream binary.
29
30   Command line parameters
31     -h      Print a summary of available command line parameters with short
32             descriptions and exit.
33
34     -p pidfile
35             (Passed to ezstream.)  Write the ezstream-file.sh process ID (a
36             single number) to pidfile.
37
38     -q      (Passed to ezstream.)  Be more quiet.  Suppress the output that
39             external programs send to standard error.
40
41     -r      (Passed to ezstream.)  Show a real-time stream status information
42             line on standard output.  Implies -q.
43
44     -T cfg_template
45             Use the configuration in cfg_template, overriding the default set
46             in the EZSTREAM_TEMPLATE environment variable.
47
48     -V      Print the ezstream-file.sh version number and exit.
49
50     -v      (Passed to ezstream.)  Produce more verbose output from ezstream.
51             Use twice for even more verbose output.
