EZSTREAM-FILE.SH(1)
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.
- Command line parameters
- -h Print a summary of available command line parameters with short
descriptions and exit.
- -n (Passed to ezstream.) Normalize metadata strings by removing
- excess whitespaces.
- -q (Passed to ezstream.) Be more quiet. Suppress the output that
- external programs send to standard error.
- -T cfg_template
- Use the configuration in cfg_template, overriding the default set in the EZSTREAM_TEMPLATE environment variable.
- -V Print the ezstream-file version number and exit.
- -v (Passed to ezstream.) Produce more verbose output from ezstream.
- Use twice for even more verbose output.
FILES
- /usr/share/doc/ezstream/examples Directory containing example configura
- tion files for various uses of
ezstream, as well as example playlist and metadata scripts.
