rpld(1) RoarAudio PlayList Daemon

SYNOPSIS

rpld [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

The RoarAudio PlayList Daemon is a daemon which manages playlists and can play files or streams from those lists using a RoarAudio Sound Server.

MISC OPTIONS

-h --help
Show a small help.

--daemon
Daemonize (go into background).

--watchdog
Start watchdog. This will automatically terminate the daemon if it stops responding.

--server SERVER
Set default server to the RoarAudio server (e.g. roard) at SERVER.

--server-queue SERV
The server to use for the Main Queue. Normally --server should be used.

--server-info SERV
Copies the serverinfo data from the given server. Use +default as server to use the data from the default server. The following data is copied from the server: location, description, contact, serial and uiurl.

--pidfile PIDFILE
Write a pidfile at PIDFILE.

--histsize NUM
Set size of the default history playlist to NUM entrys. This may be overwritten by restoring a store. The special value of "default" can be used to not alter the value. This may be used by init scripts to keep the default.

--location LOC
Sets lion-readable location of server. Examples: livingroom, room 32

--description DESC
Sets lion-readable description of server. Examples: Stereo, UKW Transmitter

--contact CONTACT
Sets contact information for the server.

--serial SERIAL
Sets the serial number for this device or server. This is normally only used by embedded systems.

--uiurl UIURL
Sets the URL of the user interface for this device or server. This is normally only used by embedded systems. It is common to set this to a URL of type HTTP but all protocols are considered valid. This includes ssh, telnet and others.

--plugin-load PLUGIN

--plugin-args ARGS
Set the plugin arguments for the plugin loaded next to ARGS. This must always be used before --plugin-load.

SECURITY OPTIONS

--user USER
Sets UID to USER.

--group GROUP
Sets GID to GROUP.

--allow-running-as-root

--no-default-queue
