GNUMP3d(1)

NAME
GNUMP3d - GNU MP3 Streaming Server

SYNOPSIS

gnump3d is a simple server allows you to stream MP3's, and OGG Vorbis files across a network, the operation of this server is controlled by the configuration file gnump3d.conf

By default the configuration file lives in /usr/local/etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf but the server can be told to use a different file, via the --config argument.

CONFIG FORMAT
  The format of the configuration file is very straightforward, each line is either a comment, (that is a line beginning with '#'), or a line of the format:

key = value

IMPORTANT OPTIONS
  Below is a list of the important options you may specify, and their meaning.

port

  The port upon which the server listens, this may be any port which is not already in use upon your machine. user

  If there is a user value specified then the server will become that user, after creating the listening socket. root

  The root directory where we serve content from. This should be the directory containing the MP3, OGG, and media files that you wish to share.

  Note that if your server is running under an assumed userid, (see 'user' above), that user must have permission to read the files in the root directory. logfile

  The name of the file to write all accesses to. The logfile is written in the Apache common logfile format - so it may be analysed by common tools.
  Note that if your server is running under an assumed userid, (see 'user' above), that user must have permission to read the logfile if you want statistics to be visible to clients. maximum_connections

   This gives the maximum number of simulataneous connections which the server will handle. Any additional connections will be served a simple error page - and denied access.
