# A quick guide to configuring forked-daapd:
#
# For regular use, the most important setting to configure is "directories",
# which should be the location of your media. Whatever user you have set as
# "uid" must have read access to this location. If the location is a network
# mount, please see the README.
#
# In all likelihood, that's all you need to do!

general {
	# Username
	# Make sure the user has read access to the library directories you set
 	# below, and full access to the databases, log and local audio
	uid = "daapd"

	# Database location
#	db_path = "/var/cache/forked-daapd/songs3.db"

	# Log file and level
	# Available levels: fatal, log, warning, info, debug, spam
	logfile = "/var/log/forked-daapd.log"
	loglevel = log

	# Admin password for the non-existent web interface
	admin_password = "unused"

	# Enable/disable IPv6
	ipv6 = yes

	# Location of cache database
#	cache_path = "/var/cache/forked-daapd/cache.db"

	# DAAP requests that take longer than this threshold (in msec) get their
	# replies cached for next time. Set to 0 to disable caching.
#	cache_daap_threshold = 1000

	# When starting playback, autoselect speaker (if none of the previously
	# selected speakers/outputs are available)
#	speaker_autoselect = yes

# Library configuration

	# For each directory that is indexed the path is matched against these
	# names. If there is a match all items in the directory are marked as 
	# podcasts. Eg. if you index /srv/music, and your podcasts are in
	# /srv/music/Podcasts, you can set this to "/Podcasts".
	# (changing this setting only takes effect after rescan, see the README)
	podcasts = { "/Podcasts" }

	# Directories containing audiobooks

	# initial file scan and save some system ressources. Disabling this scan
