Docs Using xbms is quite simple. Just follow the instructions in INSTALL included in the source tarball, edit xbms.conf, that's it. xbms.conf is offering various options: -i [address] Bind xbms to a specific interface, e.g. 192.168.0.1 to bind it to your local LAN. This has to be done for security reasons, you don't want other people stream your movies over internet, do you? ;) -d [media dir] The directory to be shared, e.g. /mnt/mp3 or /home/foo/mp3 or whatever. -p [port] The port xbms should listen at. Defaults to 1400, so there is almost no reason to change it, unless you KNOW what you do. -u [username] The user xbms should run as. You might want xbms to run as nobody, maybe you even want to have a dedicated xbms-user for additional security. If you plan on running xbms from a user account, you NEED to state your own username. -g [groupname] The group xbms should belong to. Generally, this has to be the group your user stated by -u belongs to. -D [level] Debug mode, level does state the verbose depth (level 2 is VERY verbose.) -c [configfile] If you plan on using a config different from /etc/xbms.conf, you need to state it HERE. -l [logfile] Well, this is self-explanatory. At least I hope so. ;) -h List all command-line options, vulgo: help. |
