NAME

uav-play - Push and play a media on UPnP-AV Renderer(s)

SYNOPSIS

uav-play [-p port] [-i interface] [-t timeout] [-s] [-r renderer] [-H file] [-D file] [-d]

DESCRIPTION

uav-play is a kind of control-point in command line for shell-scripting purpose.

Two modes are proposed:

By providing a media file to host (option -H), uav-play acts as a small web server for this file, computes an almost DLNA-conformant DIDL-Lite xml with metadata about the media, then asks discovered renderers to play it.

By providing a DIDL-Lite xml file (option -D) describing a media hosted somewhere on the net, uav-play asks discovered renderers to play it.

Mixed mode: host a media file, but provide your own DIDL-Lite xml description.

Note that if you do not use -H or -D then uav-play expects a DIDL-Lite xml on standard input.

 OPTIONS

-p, --port=PORT

Network port to use for UPnP

-i, --interface=INTERFACE

The network interface to use for UPnP communication

-t, --timeout=TIMEOUT

Timeout in seconds to discover MediaRenderers

-s, --strict

Strict timeout (otherwise wait media duration + timeout)

-r, --renderer=RENDERER

UDN of the MediaRenderer to search (default: all)

-H, --hosted_file=FILE

Media file to host

-D, --didl_file=FILE

DIDL-Lite xml file describing a media

-d, --dump_didl

Dump DIDL-Lite description computed on the hosted file

EXAMPLES

$ uav-play -i wlan0 -H image.jpg

Looks for renderers on the wlan0 interface and asks them to play image.jpg

$ uav-play -r uuid:384fe2ed-0c0f-4c78-8481-4b5c77dd0f01 -D didl-example.xml

Retreives the rederer designed by this uuid and asks it to play media described by didl-example.xml

BUGS

uav-play cannot host media files larger than 2Gb on 32 bits systems.
