Valid choices are "sqlite" and "sqlite3". # # sqlite seems to be more stable. db_type=sqlite # # db_parms # # This is any extra information the db needs to connect. # in the case of sqlite and sqlite3, this is the name # of the directory to store the database in # # If you installed from RPM or .deb, this path likely already # exists. If not, then you must create it. The directory itself # must be writable by the "runas" user. # db_parms=. # # mp3_dir (required) # # Location of the mp3 files to share. Note that because the # files are stored in the database by inode, these must be # in the same physical filesystem. # mp3_dir=c:\mp3 # # servername (required) # # This is both the name of the server as advertised # via rendezvous, and the name of the database # exported via DAAP.

By default, it only indexes and # serves .mp3 files. It can also server .m4a and .m4p files, # and just about any other files, really. Unfortunately, while # it can *attempt* to serve other files (.ogg?), iTunes won't # play them. Perhaps this would be useful on Linux with # Rhythmbox, once it understands daap.

The file extensions that these codectypes correspond # to must also be present in 'extensions' # configuration value, or files are not probed in the first # place. # # Valid codectypes: # # mp4a - for AAC (.aac, .mp4, .m4a, .m4p) # mpeg - for mp3 # wav - for wav # wma - for wma # ogg - for ogg # flac - for flac (.flac, .fla) # mpc for musepack (.mpc, .mpp, .mp+) # alac for alac (.m4a) # #ssc_codectypes ogg,flac,alac # # ssc_prog (optional) # # Program that is used in server side format conversion. # Program must accept following command line syntax: # ssc_prog filename offset length ... # Parameter filename is the real name of the file that is # to be converted and streamed, offset is number of bytes # that are skipped from the beginning of the _output_ file # before streaming is started, length is length of the song # in seconds (or zero). All other possible arguments must # be ignored. The resulting wav file (or the rest of # the file after initial seek) is written to the standard # output by the ssc_prog program. This is typically # a script that is a front end for different conversion tools # handling different formats. # #ssc_prog /etc/mt-daapd-ssc-script # # logfile (optional) # # This is the file to log to. If this is not configured, # then it will log to the syslog. # # Not that the -d switch will control the log verbosity. # By default, it runs at log level 1. Log level 9 will churn # out scads of useless debugging information.

If you were using a music system # like zina or andromeda, for example, with cover art called # "_folderOpenImage.jpg", you could use the parameter # art_file _folderOpenImage.jpg and if the file _folderOpenImage.jpg # was located in the same folder as the .mp3 file, it would appear # in iTunes.

The thought is to # allow the drives to spin down unless they are in use. This might be # of more importance in IDE drives that aren't designed to be run # 24x7.

There are three values: # # 0 (Normal) # Just scan the first mp3 frame to try and calculate size. This will # be accurate for most files, but VBR files without an Xing tag will # probably have wildly inaccurate file times. This is the default. # # 1 (Aggressive) # This checks the bitrates of 10 frames in the middle of the song. # This will still be inaccurate for VBR files without an Xing tag, # but they probably won't be quite as inaccurate as 0. This takes # more time, obviously, although the time hit will only happen the # first time you scan a particular file. # # 2 (Painfully aggressive) # This walks through the entire song, counting the number of frames. # This should result in accurate song times, but will take the most # time.
