man gmediaserver (Commandes) - UPnP music media server

NAME

gmediaserver - UPnP music media server

SYNOPSIS

gmediaserver [OPTIONS]... DIRECTORIES...

DESCRIPTION

Run the UPnP media server. The directories arguments specify where audio files are located.

GMediaServer is a UPnP music media server. It implements the server component that provides UPnP media devices with information on available audio files. GMediaServer uses the built-in http server of libupnp to stream the audio files to clients.

When the main process receives the USR1 signal, all directories specified on the command line will be rescanned. This functionality is currently quite crude in that all files are rescanned even if they were not changed.

OPTIONS

This program follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

--friendly-name=NAME
Set display name for media server.
--disable-id3
Do not scan files for ID3 information.
--in-charset=CHARSET
Specify character set used in file names, ID3 information etc. Normally this is identified automaticly from the current locale, but that in some cases that may not work and then you will need to specify this option.

Run `iconv --list' for a list of accepted character encoding set names.

--device-charset=CHARSET
Specify character set used in the data passed to the control point (the player device). If this option is not specified, no translation will occur.

Run `iconv --list' for a list of accepted character encoding set names.
