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, --ip-address <ip-address>
              The local IP address the service is running and advertised on.

              This can only be a single address, and must be explicitly specified (i.e. not 0.0.0.0).

       -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.

   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.
