OPTIONS

       --create-device-config
              Discovers all devices in your network and write a config for them.  That config can
              be editied manually to adjust various settings.  You can set:

       - Device name
              - Codec order (The first one is used if the encoder binary  is  available  on  your
              system) - Various codec settings such as the mime type, specific rules or

       the bit rate (depends on the codec)
              A  written  config is loaded by default if the --encoder and --bit-rate options are
              not used.

       --update-device-config
              Same as --create-device-config  but  preserves  your  existing  config  from  being
              overwritten

       --host=<host>
              Set the server ip.

       -p --port=<port>
              Set the server port [default: 8080].

       -e --encoder=<encoders>
              Deprecated alias for --codec

       -c --codec=<codecs>
              Set the audio codec.  Possible codecs are:

       - mp3  MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3)

       - wav  Waveform Audio File Format (WAV)

       - opus Opus Interactive Audio Codec (OPUS)

       - aac  Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)

       - l16  Linear PCM (L16)

       --encoder-backend=<encoder-backend>
              Set the backend for all encoders.  Possible backends are:

       - generic (default)
              - ffmpeg - avconv

       -b --bit-rate=<rate>
              Set the audio encoder's bitrate.

       --filter-device=<filter-device>
              Set a name filter for devices which should be added.  Devices which get discovered,
              but won't match the filter text will be skipped.

       --renderer-urls=<urls>
              Set the renderer urls yourself. no discovery will commence.

       --request-timeout=<timeout>
              Set the timeout for requests in seconds [default: 15].

       --chunk-size=<chunk-size>
              Set the stream's chunk size [default: 4096].

       --ssdp-ttl=<ssdp-ttl>
              Set the SSDP socket's TTL [default: 10].

       --ssdp-mx=<ssdp-mx>
              Set the MX value of the SSDP discovery message [default: 3].

       --ssdp-amount=<ssdp-amount>
              Set the amount of SSDP discovery messages being sent [default: 5].

       --msearch-port=<msearch-port>
              Set the source port of the MSEARCH socket [default: random].

       --cover-mode=<mode>
              Set the cover mode [default: default].  Possible modes are:

       - disabled
              No icon is shown

       - default
              The application icon is shown

       - distribution
              The icon of your distribution is shown

       - application
              The audio application's icon is shown

       --debug
              enables detailed debug messages.

       --auto-reconnect
              If set, the application tries to reconnect devices in case the stream collapsed

       --fake-http-content-length
              If set, the content-length of HTTP requests will be set to 100 GB.

       --disable-switchback
              If set, streams won't switched back to the default sink if a device disconnects.

       --disable-ssdp-listener
              If set, the application won't bind to the port 1900  and  therefore  the  automatic
              discovery of new devices won't work.

       --disable-device-stop
              If set, the application won't send any stop commands to renderers at all

       --disable-workarounds
              If set, the application won't apply any device workarounds

       --disable-mimetype-check
              If set, the application won't check the device's mime type capabilities

       -v --version
              Show the version.

       -h --help
              Show the help.

EXAMPLES

              - pulseaudio-dlna

              will  start pulseaudio-dlna on port 8080 and stream your PulseAudio streams encoded
              with mp3.

              - pulseaudio-dlna --encoder ogg

              will start pulseaudio-dlna on port 8080 and stream your PulseAudio streams  encoded
              with Ogg Vorbis.

              - pulseaudio-dlna --port 10291 --encoder flac

              will start pulseaudio-dlna on port 10291 and stream your PulseAudio streams encoded
              with FLAC.

              - pulseaudio-dlna --filter-device 'Nexus 5,TV'

              will just use devices named Nexus 5 or TV even when more devices got discovered.

              - pulseaudio-dlna --renderer-urls http://192.168.1.7:7676/smp_10_

              won't discover upnp devices by itself. Instead it will search for upnp renderers at
              the  specified  locations. You can specify multiple locations via urls separated by
              comma (,). Most users won't ever need this option, but since UDP multicast packages
              won't  work  (most times) over VPN connections this is very useful if you ever plan
              to stream to a UPNP device over VPN.
