4 ezstream-file.sh — script to stream files from the command line
5
7 ezstream-file.sh [-hnqVv] [-T cfg_template] [file ...]
8
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:
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.
