stream

NAME

SYNOPSIS

stream -d dir...

stream [ -p port ] [ -e ] [ -l ] [ -s | -o ] -d dir...

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

The stream can be connected thru http://localhost:9000, http://<servername>:9000, or http://<ip address>:9000 for example using radiosure(1) or a web browser.

The default port 9000 can be changed using the '-p port' option. This can also be used to realize multiple broadcast streams (~radio stations) each on its specific port serving specific genres by selecting related directories.

to set at least the -d dir... option to point to a valid directory.

It is recommended to also rename the created shortcut to avoid unintentional overwriting of the modified settings.
