→‎Transition from versions 2.0.х to version 2.1 and higher
== Installation Launching broadcast==
=== Installing ACE Stream on Debian/Ubuntu from repository Main terms=== *'''Source'Step 1''- a program that accepts broadcast' Add link on appropriate repository into <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> files HTTP-stream and provides playback of broadcast using ACE Stream software. Repository should be selected according *'''Support node''' - a program allowing to operating systemscale broadcast using additional server equipment and Internet-channels. *'''Client'Debian 6+:'' <tt><nowiki>deb http://repo.acestream.org/debian/ squeeze main</nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki>deb http://repo.acestream- ACE Stream software, which is used to play broadcast.org/debian/ sid main</nowiki></tt>
Note: packages in sid repository are assembled with dependencies that correspond ===Transition from versions 2.0.х to official sid-repositories version 2.1 and higher===From September, 10, 2013, upgraded version of the engine (2.1.6) for Ubuntu, Debianand CentOS is available.Before using a new version for production, we recommend to test it on one or several broadcasts, if possible.If you don't knowface any problems, please, which repository write to choose, use squeezethe forum (https://forum.acestream.media/latest) or email 'support@acestream.net'.
''Ubuntu 11.10:'' <tt><nowiki>deb httpspan style="color://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ oneiric main</nowiki#900;">ATTENTION!</ttspan>In the nearest future support for older versions will be stopped.
''Ubuntu 12.04<span style="color:'' <tt#009;">IMPORTANT!<nowiki/span>deb http://repoAll broadcasts created via new version of Ace Stream (2.1 and higher) are not suppported by client software of old versions (2.0.х and lower).acestreamIf you attempt to watch a new broadcast using the old engine, an error "Cannot load transport file" will appear.org/ubuntu/ precise main</nowiki></tt>
''Ubuntu 12.10:''====Changes in launch parameters==== <tt><nowiki>deb http://repo.acestreamSome parameters of the launch of sources and support nodes from the command line have been changed, therefore the launch with the old command line will not work.org/ubuntu/ quantal main</nowiki></tt>
'''Step 2'''Main changes:* one executable file is used <tt>acestreamengine</tt>; different launch modes (a source, support node) are set by options:** instead of <tt>acestreamengine-stream</tt> you should launch <tt>acestreamengine --stream-source</tt>** instead of <tt>acestreamengine-node</tt> you should launch <tt>acestreamengine --stream-node</tt>** instead of <tt>acestreamengine-client-console</tt> you should launch <tt>acestreamengine --client-console</tt>** 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]]
Installing public key===Transition from versions 2. To do this you have 1.х to run the following commandversion 3.0.x and higher===See main article about Ace Stream v.3 - https://wiki.acestream.media/AceStream_3.0/en
''Debian:''===acestreamengine command=== Starting from version 2.1 Ace Stream Engine for Linux represents a single executable file <tt><nowiki>wget -O - http://repo.acestream.org/keys/acestream.public.key | apt-key add -</nowiki>acestreamengine</tt>, which works in different modes, depending on specified parameters.
''UbuntuWork mode is set by one of the following parameters:'' * <tt>--client-console</tt> - launch engine in a client mode from console (without a graphic interface)* <nowikitt>sudo wget -O - http:client-wx</tt> - launch engine in a client mode with a graphic interface WX* <tt>--client-gtk</repo.acestream.orgtt> - launch engine in a client mode with a graphic interface GTK* <tt>--stream-source</keystt> - launch a source of broadcast* <tt>--stream-node</tt> - launch a support node* <tt>--create-transport</acestream.public.key | sudo apttt> - create a transport file from existing content (VOD)* <tt>-key add -create-transport-multi</nowikitt>- create a multi-stream transport file* <tt>--version</tt>- show engine version
'''Step 3'''Each work mode has their own required and not required parameters, described in appropriate sections.
Installing Also all work modes have common parameters that manage the right package. For example, for engine installation you have to install acestream-engine packageoutput of debug information. ''Debian'' * <tt>apt-get update-log-stdout</tt>- deduce information in STDOUT * <tt>apt-get install acestream-enginelog-stderr</tt>- deduce information in STDERR ''Ubuntu'' * <tt>sudo apt-get update-log-file PATH</tt>- deduce information in a specified file * <tt>sudo apt-get install acestream-enginelog-max-size SIZE</tt> The following packages are available in the repository for Ubuntu:- maximum file size (bytes)*'''acestream<tt>--engine''' log- engine*'''acestreambackup-mozillacount COUNT</tt> -plugin''' how many backup logs have to be stored (backup log file is created when a limit, specified by a parameter - plug-in for browser*'''acestreamlog-player''' max- desktop playersize, is reached)*'''acestream<tt>-player-data''' log- set of common libraries for the player and plugfile-in*'''acestream-full''' buffer SIZE</tt> - full package, including all enable buffering of output into the above For Debian only the engine file (acestream-engine) is available. === Installing ACE Stream package on Ubuntu from deb-package ===You can install ACE Stream on Ubuntu without using repository. To do this you need to download the installation package by one buffer of links below and install it using a package manager (for example, by double click on downloaded packagespecified size in bytes). Package for 32-bit versions of Ubuntu: * <tt>http://dl.torrentstream.org/products/acestream-full/ubuntu/i368/latest-log-syslog HOST</tt> Package for 64-bit versions of Ubuntu:deduce information in syslog-server at the specified address * <tt>http://dl.torrentstream.org/products/acestream-full/ubuntu/amd64/latest-log-syslog-port PORT</tt>- syslog-server port Supported versions of Ubuntu: 11.10, 12.04, 12.10 This intallation package is an analog of * <tt>acestream-full-log-syslog-facility FACILITY</tt> package from repository. It includes the engine, player and plug-in for browsers. ==Launching broadcast== ===Main terms===used facility*'''Source''' <tt>- program that accepts HTTP-stream of broadcast and provides broadcast viewing using ACE Stream software.*'''Support node''' log- program allowing to scale broadcast using additional server equipment and Internetsyslog-channels.*'''Client''' buffer SIZE</tt> - ACE Stream software, which is used to play broadcast.enable buffering of output into syslog (using buffer of specified size in bytes)
===Common work scheme ===
The source accepts HTTP-stream to input (at this moment HTTP-streams with MPEG-TS encapsulation are supported) with original broadcast and creates a file with acelive extension after the launch. This file is a unique identifier of broadcast and it is used for connection and playback by clients.
===Syntax of acestreamengine--stream -source command===<tt>acestreamengine--stream-source</tt> command launches broadcast source.

''additional''
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>
====Приватный источник с двумя узлами поддержкиPrivate source with two support nodes====Иногда может возникнуть необходимость запретить клиентам напрямую обращаться к источнику трансляцииSometimes it may be necessary to prevent clients from direct access to broadcast source. НапримерFor example, источник может быть физически расположен на сервере в защищенной зоне без доступа из внешнего мираthe source may be located on server in protected area without access from the outer world. В этом случае трансляцию можно организовать по следующей схемеIn this case broadcast can be organized by the following scheme:*источник делается приватным the source is made private (получать от него данные смогут только узлы поддержкиonly support nodes, указанные явным образомspecified explicitly, can receive data from it)*узлы поддержки получают данные от источника и отдают клиентамsupport nodes receive data from the source and give to clients*клиенты получают данные от узлов поддержкиclients receive data from support nodes
Для того, чтобы сделать источник приватнымTo make the source private, следует указать опцию option <tt>--private-source</tt>must be specified: <tt>acestreamengine--stream -source \
--name "test" \
--title "Тестовая трансляцияTest broadcast" \
--source "<nowiki>http://192.168.1.100/stream</nowiki>" \
--bitrate 300000 \
--support-node "192.168.1.2:8621" \
--support-node "192.168.1.3:8621" \
--private-source \ > /tmp/test-source.log 2>&1</tt>
Следует обратить внимание на то, что в данной конфигурации адрес трекера изменен на Notice that in this configuration tracker's address is changed to <tt>udp://192.168.1.2:2710/announce</tt>. Это сделано для поддержки старых версий клиентовIt was made to support old versions of clients, которые не обрабатывают список авторизованных пиров which do not process a list of authorized peers (подробнее здесь more details here [[#Авторизованные узлыAuthorized peers|Авторизованные узлыAuthorized peers]]). Узлы поддержки на серверах Launch support nodes on servers 192.168.1.2 и and 192.168.1.3 запускаем как обычноas 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" \
