-Choose an audio file selector
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-paraslash has three different audio file selectors: random (default),
-playlist and mysql.
-
- The random selector chooses files randomly from the given
- directory.
-
- The playlist selector allows to send a playlist to para_server
- via the lpl (load playlist) command. para_server will choose
- files from the loaded playlist in sequential order.
-
- The mysql selector stores information about your audio
- files in a mysql database. It is much more involved than
- the other two selectors and lets you chose files in many
- interesting ways. If you like to use the mysql selector,
- read README.mysql and follow the instructions given there.
- Return to this document when ready.
-
-The current audio file selector can be changed at runtime via
-
- para_client chs new_selector
-
-
-Configure para_audiod
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-In order to automatically start the right decoder at the right time
-and to offer to the clients some information on the current audio
-stream and on paraslash's internal state, you should run the local
-audio daemon, para_audiod, on every machine that is supposed to play
-the audio stream. Try
-
- para_audiod -h
-
-for help. Usually you have to specify at least server_host as the
-receiver specifier, like this:
-
- -r 'mp3:http -i server_host'
-
-The prefered way to use para_audiod is to run it once at system start
-as an unprivileged user. para_audiod needs to create a "well-known"
-socket for the clients to connect to. If you want to change the
-default socket (e.g. because you do not have write access for the
-directory where the socket resides), use the -s option or the config
-file to change the default. Note that in this case you'll also have
-to specify the same value for para_audioc's -s option.
-
-If para_server is playing, you should be able to listen to the audio
-stream as soon as para_audiod is started. Once it is running, try
-
- para_audioc stat
-
-That should dump some information to stdout. Other commands include
-
- para_audioc off
- para_audioc on
- para_audioc sb
- para_audioc term
- para_audioc cycle
-
-
-Start para_gui
