==Launching broadcast==
===Transition from versions 2.0.х to version 2.1 and higher===
From September, 10, 2013, upgraded version of the engine (2.1.6) for Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS is available.
Before using a new version for production, we recommend to test it on one or several broadcasts, if possible.
If you face any problems, please, write to the forum (httphttps://forum.torrentstreamacestream.orgmedia/latest) or email 'support@acestream.net. Old versions are temporarily available in repository and by direct links: '''Ubuntu''':* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1oneiric6_amd64.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1oneiric6_i386.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1precise6_amd64.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1precise6_i386.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1quantal6_amd64.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1quantal6_i386.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1raring6_amd64.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/ubuntu/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1raring6_i386.deb '''Debian''':* http://dl.acestream.org/debian/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1sid5_amd64.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/debian/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1sid5_i386.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/debian/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1squeeze5_amd64.deb* http://dl.acestream.org/debian/acestream-engine_2.0.8-1squeeze5_i386.deb '''CentOS 6''':* http://dl.acestream.org/centos/6/acestream-engine-2.0.8_7-centos6-x86_64.tar.gz
<span style="color: #900;">ATTENTION!</span> In the nearest future support for older versions will be stopped.
** instead of <tt>acestreamengine-client-gtk</tt> you should launch <tt>acestreamengine --client-gtk</tt>
* log system is changed. In old versions the engine output all debug information into STDERR and redirecting the output was required to write logs into a file. In a new version it is possible to define in options, where to write logs - into STDOUT, into STDERR, into a file or syslog. Rotation of logs by their size is supported for files. You can read description of all options in [[#acestreamengine command|acestreamengine command]]
===Transition from versions 2.1.х to version 3.0.x and higher===
See main article about Ace Stream v.3 - https://wiki.acestream.media/AceStream_3.0/en
===acestreamengine command===
*<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)
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 \</tt> ====Recent scripts and configuration examples==== > Python-based launch scripts with configuration examples and some brief explanation available via https:/tmp/test-nodegithub.log 2>&1<com/acestream/tt>streaming-utils
