AceStream 3.0/en

You can download alpha-version here:

• Ubuntu 12 amd64: http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/12/acestream_3.0.0-a1_ubuntu_12_amd64.tar.gz

Alpha-version can be installed on the same server where any current version is installed without removing it.

To install alpha-version you need:

• download an archive for your OS
• extract archive in any folder (for example, /opt/acestream/engine_new)
• run file acestreamengine in the extracted folder with parameter --lib-path /path/to/acestream_libraries. Example:

/opt/acestream/engine_new/acestreamengine --lib-path /opt/acestream/engine_new

The parameter --lib-path sets the path to Ace Stream libraries. The default path is /usr/share/acestream. If there is a current (release) version of the engine installed on the server then it will run without setting --lib-path (because libraries from the default path /usr/share/acestream will be used). To be sure which version you have run you can check version from the command line. For example, if engine 2.1.6 is installed then without setting --lib-path the result will be like this:

# /opt/acestream/engine_new/acestreamengine --version
version: 2.1.6 revision: 293

To run alpha-version you need to set --lib-path:

# /opt/acestream/engine_new/acestreamengine --lib-path /opt/acestream/engine_new --version
version: 3.0.0-a1 revision: 565

There are some changes in command line parameters in the alpha-version.

New parameters:

• --live-cache-type - cache type: disk - save cache on the disk in the folder set by --cache-dir parameter, memory - save cache in the RAM (by default: disk)
• --live-cache-size - the maximum cache size in bytes (be default: 209715200 bytes (200 Mb))

These parameters are temporarely unsupported in the alpha-version:

• --support-node
• --add-authorized-peers
