xmms2-mdns-avahi – announces XMMS2 via mDNS

Synopsis

xmms2-mdns-avahi

Description

XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS (http://www.xmms.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultaneous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a flexible media library to organize your music.

xmms2-mdns-avahi is the Avahi mDNS announcing client for XMMS2. xmms2-mdns-avahi is designed to announce the presence of an accessible XMMS2 TCP socket if one is available. xmms2-mdns-avahi offers a _xmms2._tcp service if, and only if, the XMMS_PATH_FULL enviornmental variable contains a TCP socket. This allows clients that support mDNS discovery to easily locate and connect to this xmms2d(1) instance.

Environmental Variables

XMMS_PATH_FULL

A complete list of URL paths seperated by ‘;’ pointed to the xmms2d(1). See IPC SOCKET in xmms2d(1) for details of possible values for this variable
