XMMS2-LAUNCHER(1) General Commands Manual XMMS2-LAUNCHER(1) NAME
xmms2-launcher - XMMS2 daemon launcher SYNOPSIS
xmms2-launcher [-l file] [-P file] [-v] [--] [XMMS2D_OPTION] ... xmms2-launcher -h DESCRIPTION
XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS (http://legacy.xmms2.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simulta- neous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a flex- ible media library to organise your music. xmms2-launcher starts xmms2d(1) in the background. The main feature is that it does not exit until the IPC system of XMMS2 is available, meaning that as soon as the xmms2-launcher process has exited successfully xmms2d(1) is ready to accept commands. OPTIONS
Unrecognized options and options occuring beyond pseudo-option -- are passed to xmms2d(1). -l file, --logfile=file Write log to file instead of the default log file location. -P file, --pidfile=file Write the pid of xmms2d(1) to file. -v, --verbose Make xmms2-launcher verbose. -?, -h, --help Show short help information and exit. -- Options beyond this marker are passed to xmms2d(1). XMMS2D_OPTION See xmms2d(1) for a list of options and their effect. FILES

XMMS2-ET(1) General Commands Manual XMMS2-ET(1) NAME
xmms2-et - transmits an anonymous informative packet to the XMMS2 team on each song change SYNOPSIS
xmms2-et DESCRIPTION
XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS (http://www.xmms.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultane- ous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a flexi- ble media library to organize your music. xmms2-et is the ET Phone Home Client for XMMS2. xmms2-et is designed to transmit a packet of information to the XMMS2 team whenever a new song is played. The packet is anonymous and does not contain metadata about the song being played. The specifics of what data is transmit- ted to the XMMS2 team can be found in the ET PACKET section of this manual page. xmms2-et is used for release engineering by the XMMS2 team. During a release cycle, the usage of various plugins, operating systems, and XMMS2 components is collected from data transmitted by the xmms2-et client. A release is made when sufficient testing has occured as deter- mined by the number of related xmms2-et packets that the XMMS2 team has received. ET PACKET
The following data is transmitted with every packet transmitted by xmms2-et: XMMS2-ET status Begins XMMS2-ET packets; status gives a descriptive message denoting what this packet is about. (e.g. Clean shutdown, Unclean shut- down, New media) version=version contains the version of the XMMS2 daemon system=os contains the name and release of the operating system on which xmms2d is running output=output_plugin contains the output plugin being used to playback audio by xmms2d starttime=start_time contains the time at which the xmms2-et client was started uptime=xmms2d_uptime contains the uptime of the xmms2-et client playlistloads=times contains the number of times a playlist has been loaded from the Media Library mlibresolves=times contains the number of times that metadata has been resolved for media in the Media Library The following data is different for each song being played: decoder=plugin contains the decoder plugin used to playback the last played song transport=plugin contains the transport plugin used to read the last played song samplefmt:in=in_fmt contains the sample format of the original audio file of the last played song samplefmt:out=out_fmt contains the sample format that was sent to the output plugin for the last played song samplerate:in=in_rate contains the sample rate of the original audio file of the last played song samplerate:out=out_rate contains the sample rate that was sent to the output plugin for the last played song channels:in=number_in contains the number of channels of the original audio file of the last played song channels:out=number_out contains the number of channels that were sent to the output plugin for the last played song ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
