xmms2d - XMMS2 daemon which handles the playback of music and storage of music metadata

       This  manual  page  was  originally  written  by  Alexander  Botero-Lowry  <alex@foxybanana.com>.  It was
       reformatted and slightly extended by Erik Massop <e.massop@hccnet.nl>.

                                                                                                       XMMS2D(1)

       XMMS2  is  a  redesign  of  the  XMMS (http://legacy.xmms2.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 organise
       your music.

       xmms2d is the daemon through which XMMS2 clients playback and manage music.  A  client  library  provided
       allows third parties to easily write XMMS2 clients, especially using the Python and Ruby bindings.

       xmms2d  uses  a  three  part  method  to  playback  music. Music is accessed from disk or network using a
       transport plugin, the data is then passed on to a decoder plugin which decodes the audio into a form that
       can be played back by an output plugin.

XDG_CONFIG_HOME
              The path where the XMMS2 configuration files and resources are located.

       XMMS_PATH
              The url of the first socket that xmms2d listens to. This environment variable is set for  programs
              in the startup and shutdown directories.

       XMMS_PATH_FULL
              A ;-seperated list of paths to which xmms2d listens. This environment variable is set for programs
              in the startup and shutdown directories.

       Below  CONFDIR  is  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xmms2  on  UNIX  if the XDG_CONFIG_HOME-environment variable is set.
       Otherwise it is $HOME/.config/xmms2 (UNIX except Darwin), or $HOME/Library/xmms2 (Darwin).  On  Win32  it
       is %APPDATA%/xmms2.

       CONFDIR/xmms2.conf
              An XML formatted configuration file that allows changing the settings of xmms2d.

       CONFDIR/startup.d/
              A directory populated with programs that are run when xmms2d is executed.  An alternative location
              can be specified in the configuration file.

       CONFDIR/shutdown.d/
              A  directory  populated  with  programs  that  are  run  when  xmms2d  is  shutdown correctly.  An
              alternative location can be specified in the configuration file.

       CONFDIR/medialib.db
              An sqlite3(1) database that includes information about each song that has been added the the XMMS2
              media library.  An alternative location can be specified in the configuration file.

       CONFDIR/bindata/
              A directory that contains files with binary data entrusted to the XMMS2  media  library,  such  as
              cover art.  An alternative location can be specified in the configuration file.

       /tmp/xmms-ipc-USER
              The  typical  location  for  the  UNIX IPC Socket. Here USER is the name of the user that executed
              xmms2d.

       The XMMS2 Project was started by Tobias Rundström and Anders Waldenborg. It is developed by a small group
       of contributers from all over the world.

       XMMS2 clients use IPC sockets to communicate with xmms2d.  These IPC sockets  are  specified  in  an  URL
       based format with three possible transport methods: unix, tcp, and tcp6.

       The  TCP methods allow clients to connect over IPv4 and IPv6 to xmms2d and therefore allow remote control
       of XMMS2. A typical IPC socket url using TCP is tcp://127.0.0.1:9667.

       The UNIX transport method is for local clients only and creates a file through which  XMMS2  clients  can
       access xmms2d.  A typical IPC socket path using the UNIX transport is unix:///tmp/xmms-ipc-foobar.

Generaloptions-v,--verbose
              Increase verbosity.

       -q,--quiet
              Decrease verbosity.

       -pdir,--plugindir=dir
              Use plugin directory dir.

       -oplugin,--output=plugin
              Use output plugin plugin.

       -iurl,--ipc-socket=url
              Listen to socket at url.  Multiple sockets  can  be  specified  separated  by  ;-characters.   See
              section IPCSOCKET.
