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
