ezstream-file1
Script to stream files from the command line
Usage
ezstream-file [-hqrVv]
[-p
pidfile]
[-T
cfg_template]
[file ...]
Overview
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 inside the <media /> block:
<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.
