→Syntax of acestreamengine --stream-source command
The following packages are available at this moment:
*'''CentOS 5 64bit''': http://dl.acestream.org/centos/5/acestream-engine-2.1.6_4-centos5-x86_64.tar.gz*'''CentOS 6 64bit''': http://dl.acestream.org/centos/6/acestream-engine-2.1.6_26_4-centos6-x86_64.tar.gz
This package was tested on CentOS 5.8 and 6.3.
==Launching broadcast==
*<tt>--cache-dir CACHE_DIR</tt> - directory for creating service files (broadcast cache and others)
*<tt>--publish-dir PUBLISH_DIR</tt> - directory, in which acelive-file will be created
*<tt>--piecesize PIECESIZE</tt> - piece size in bytes , power of two (if it's not specified, it's set automatically depending on bitrate)
*<tt>--duration DURATION</tt> - size of broadcast cache in format HH:MM:SS (by default, one hour: 01:00:00)
*<tt>--host HOST</tt> - set address of local tracker manually
*<tt>--pid-file-dir PATH</tt> - the directory where engine's pid file is created. Default is /tmp.
*<tt>--provider-key</tt> - provider key (for an affiliate program)
*<tt>--content-idsid</tt> - content id identificator for statistics(for an affiliate program)
*<tt>--permanent</tt> - mark the broadcast as 24/7 (it's available all the time)
*<tt>--date-start YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss</tt> - set the data and time of the broadcast start (for the broadcasts which runs during a limited time)
We launch the source on server 192.168.1.1:
<tt>acestreamengine--stream -source \
--name "test" \
--title "Test broadcast" \
--publish-dir "/home/www/streams" \
--cache-dir "/tmp/streams" \
--add-authorized-peers \ > /tmp/test-source.log 2>&1</tt>
The last line is used to write logs into file /tmp/test-source.log. By default <tt>acestreamengine--stream-source</tt> shows outputs all debug information in console in STDERRthe STDOUT.
<tt>--add-authorized-peers</tt> option adds the list of authorized nodes to acelive-file (in this case, it's the source: 192.168.1.1).
In this example we assume that XBT Tracker is installed and launched on server 192.168.1.1.
Now broadcast's launch will look like:
<tt>acestreamengine--stream -source \
--name "test" \
--title "Test broadcast" \
--add-authorized-peers \
--skip-internal-tracker \
--tracker "udp://192.168.1.1:2710/announce" \ > /tmp/test-source.log 2>&1</tt>
<tt>--skip-internal-tracker</tt> option disconnects embedded tracker, <tt>--tracker</tt> option connects external tracker.
using <tt>--support-node</tt> option:
<tt>acestreamengine --supportstream-node</tt>: <tt>acestreamengine-stream source \
--name "test" \
--title "Test broadcast" \
--tracker "udp://192.168.1.1:2710/announce" \
--support-node "192.168.1.2:8621" \
--support-node "192.168.1.3:8621" \ > /tmp/test-source.log 2>&1</tt>
Launch support nodes on servers 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 (commands are the same):
<tt>acestreamengine--stream-node \
--url "<nowiki>http://192.168.1.1/streams/test.acelive</nowiki>" \
--state-dir "/tmp" \
--source-node "192.168.1.1:7764" \
--allow-source-download \ > /tmp/test-node.log 2>&1</tt>
Option <tt>--source-node</tt> sets source address.
On server 192.168.1.2 it will look like:
<tt>acestreamengine--stream-node \
--url "<nowiki>http://192.168.1.1/streams/test.acelive</nowiki>" \
--state-dir "/tmp" \
--allow-source-download \
--support-node "192.168.1.3:8621" \
--allow-support-download \ > /tmp/test-node.log 2>&1</tt>
On server 192.168.1.3:
<tt>acestreamengine--stream-node \
--url "<nowiki>http://192.168.1.1/streams/test.acelive</nowiki>" \
--state-dir "/tmp" \
--allow-source-download \
--support-node "192.168.1.2:8621" \
--allow-support-download \ > /tmp/test-node.log 2>&1</tt>
====Private source with two support nodes====
To make the source private, option <tt>--private-source</tt> must be specified:
<tt>acestreamengine--stream -source \
--name "test" \
--title "Test broadcast" \
--support-node "192.168.1.2:8621" \
--support-node "192.168.1.3:8621" \
--private-source \ > /tmp/test-source.log 2>&1</tt>
Notice that in this configuration tracker's address is changed to <tt>udp://192.168.1.2:2710/announce</tt>. It was made to support old versions of clients, which do not process a list of authorized peers (more details here [[#Authorized peers|Authorized peers]]).
Launch support nodes on servers 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 as usual:
<tt>acestreamengine--stream-node \
--url "<nowiki>http://192.168.1.1/streams/test.acelive</nowiki>" \
--state-dir "/tmp" \
--source-node "192.168.1.1:7764" \
--allow-source-download \ > /tmp/test-node.log 2>&1</tt>
