NAME

       gmediarender - UPNP-AV renderer daemon

SYNOPSIS

       gmediarender [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gmediarender command.

       gmediarender is a daemon which acts as a UPNP-AV renderer on the local network.  It can be
       controlled from a UPNP-AV control point to play media files from a  UPNP-AV  media  server
       through an audio device on the local system.

OPTIONS

       This  program  follows  the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
       two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is included below.

   Application options:
       -d, --daemon
              Runs the program as a daemon.

       -f, --friendly-name <name>
              Friendly name to advertise on the network.

              Usually, it is desirable for the  renderer  to  show  up  on  controllers  under  a
              recognisable and unique name. This is the option to set that name.

       -I, --interface-name <interface-name>
              The local interface name the service is running and advertised on.

       -p, --port <port>
              Port to listen to. [49152..65535].

              libupnp  does  not  use  SO_REUSEADDR,  so  it might be necessary to increment this
              number.

       -P, --pid-file <pidfile>
              Name of the file which the process ID should be written to.

       -u, --uuid <uuid>
              UUID to advertise on the network in the form user:group.

              This sets the UPNP UUID that is advertised and used by controllers  to  distinguish
              different  renderers.   Usually,  gmediarender uses a built-in static id.  If there
              are multiple renderers running on the local network, they will all share  the  same
              static  ID.   With  this option, each renderer can be given its own id.  One way to
              generate a UUID is to create a UUID once by running the uuidgen tool.

       --mime-filter <filter>
              Filters the advertised MIME types supported by the renderer.

              Normally, gmediarender advertises all MIME types (media formats) supported  by  the
              output. Use this option to limit the advertised media support or add/remove support
              for a specific type.

              Filters take 3 forms. Multiple filters are separated by a comma.

              • Prefix filters will only advertise MIME types that  match  the  supplied  prefix.
              e.g. audio, video, image.

              •  Inclusion  filters  will  add  the  supplied  type  to  the supported list. e.g.
              +audio/x-flac

              • Removal filters will remove the supplied  type  from  the  supported  list.  e.g.
              -audio/x-flac

              e.g.   To   allow   only   audio,  without  FLAC  but  include  FLV.  --mime-filter
              audio,-audio/x-flac,+video/x-flv

   Audio options:
       --gstout-audiosink <sink>
              Set the audio sink.

       --gstout-audiodevice <device>
              Set the audio device.

              The --gstout-audio... options allow the user to configure where  the  sound  output
              from gmediarender is sent.  The correct values will depend on which method of audio
              output (e.g. ALSA) is being used.

       --gstout-initial-volume-db <volume>
              Sets the initial volume on startup in decibels.

              Values range from 0 (maximum volume) to -60 (minimum volume. The decibel  scale  is
              non-linear: -20db represents roughly half volume.  The default value is 0.

              Note  that  this does not influence the hardware (e.g. ALSA) volume level, but only
              internal attenuation.  It is advisable to set  the  hardware  level  to  100  where
              possible.

       --list-outputs
              List available output modules and exit.

       -o, --output <module>
              Output module to use.

              Use --output to obtain a list of valid modules.

   Debug options:
       --dump-devicedesc
              Dump device descriptor XML and exit.

       --dump-connmgr-scpd
              Dump Connection Manager service description XML and exit.

       --dump-control-scpd
              Dump Rendering Control service description XML and exit.

       --dump-transport-scpd
              Dump A/V Transport service description XML and exit.

       --logfile <logfile>
              Name of a file to log output of the program to.

              To  log  to  the terminal use use --logfile devstdout This file can get quite large
              over time, so it is only recommended to use this option for debugging purposes.

   Help options
       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       --help-all
              Show all help options.

       --help-gstout
              Show GStreamer Output Options.

       --help-gst
              Show GStreamer Options.

       -v, --version
              Show the program version.
