| meillo@0 | 28 |
| meillo@0 | 29 make install |
| meillo@0 | 30 |
| meillo@0 | 31 Usage: |
| meillo@0 | 32 |
| meillo@0 | 33 cplay [-nrRv] [ file | dir | playlist ] ... |
| meillo@0 | 34 |
| meillo@0 | 35 When in doubt, press 'h' for a friendly help page. |
| meillo@0 | 36 |
| meillo@0 | 37 Configuration: |
| meillo@0 | 38 |
| meillo@0 | 39 If you would like to change options passed to the actual players |
| meillo@0 | 40 just edit the PLAYERS list in the cplay script or put the PLAYERS |
| meillo@0 | 41 definition in either ~/.cplayrc or /etc/cplayrc. If one of these |
| meillo@0 | 42 files is available, it is executed by cplay before initialization. |
| meillo@0 | 43 |
| meillo@0 | 44 Note, currently there is no version control for the rc-file! |
| meillo@0 | 45 |
| meillo@0 | 46 Miscellaneous: |
| meillo@0 | 47 |
| meillo@0 | 48 In order for either mp3info (ID3) or ogginfo to work, |
| meillo@0 | 49 both corresponding python modules have to be installed. |
| meillo@0 | 50 This will probably change someday. |
| meillo@0 | 51 |
| meillo@0 | 52 A playlist can contain URLs, but the playlist itself will |
| meillo@0 | 53 have to be local. For mpeg streaming, splay is recommended. |
| meillo@0 | 54 |
| meillo@0 | 55 It is also possible to pipe a playlist to cplay, as stdin |
| meillo@0 | 56 will be reopened on startup unless it is attached to a tty. |
| meillo@0 | 57 |
| meillo@0 | 58 Remote control via /var/tmp/cplay_control; see lircrc. |
