ReadMe file for the Whamb Sharing Protocol Daemon
Written by Jean-Edouard Babin (Jeb@jeb.com.fr)
To use the script type
perl WSD.pl "PLNAME=/path/to/audiofile/folder/"
you can use more playlist with:
perl WSD.pl "PLNAME=/path/to/audiofile/folder/" "PLNAME2=/path/to/audiofile/folder/2"
if you have a Whamb playlist file you can do
perl WSD.pl "PLNAME=/path/to/whamb/playlist.wpl"
you may want to add & fo fork it
Note: You should start RendezVous before the script
The script require Perl 5.7.3 or later and the following module:
- MP3::Info
- Encode
- HTML::Entities
You can install them with 'perl -MCPAN -e shell'
To check if you have this prerequisite just run ./test.sh
You also need RendezVous from Apple, it's open source http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/rendezvous/
The source code is Multicast DNS Responder:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/rendezvous/source/Rendezvous.tar.gz
To download it you need a login/pass, it's free you can get one here:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/
Then decompress it "tar -xzf Rendezvous.tar.gz", "cd Rendezvous", and then 'cd' again to the right directory
for your platform. 'cd mDNSPosix' should work fine for most users. Then type:
- 'make os=linux' on linux
- 'make os=opensd' on openbsd
- 'make os=osx' on macosx
- 'make os=solaris' on solaris
if you are running NetBSD or FreeBSD edit the makefile you will see:
ifeq ($(os),openbsd)
CFLAGS_OS = -DHAVE_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN -DHAVE_DAEMON -DHAVE_SOCKLEN_T -DHAVE_BROKEN_RECVDSTADDR
change it to
ifeq ($(os),bsd)
CFLAGS_OS = -DHAVE_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN -DHAVE_DAEMON -DHAVE_SOCKLEN_T
and use make 'os=bsd'
You can start it with something like: build/mDNSResponderPosix -n "`hostname`" -t _whamb._tcp. -p 7603 -d You may also want to copy mDNSResponderPosix to your /usr/bin directory
WSD.pl can handle a single file transfer at a time (multiple file transfers support will be added later)
