Radio Properties

Properties usually set in the "Defaults" file

You probably won't need to change these.

log-level

Verbosity of console output. 0 for practically silent, 1 for normal, 2 to see buffer activity, 3 for internal synchronization info.

buffer-size

Size of each audio buffer, in bytes.

buffer-count

Number of audio buffers to use (they form a ring).

Properties affecting a station

If one of these properties is set in the Defaults file, that value becomes a default that will be used by all stations unless it's given a different value in the station's setup file.

port

Network port for the station; each station's must be unique! The convention appears to be to start numbering at 8000.

name

The user-visible name of the station.

genre

The user-visible musical genre (can be anything you want).

host

The name of the person who runs this station.

host-url

A URL for contacting the host (typically mailto: or http:).

dj

Class of DJ used by stations; determines source of music.

FileDJ.music-library

Class of MusicLibrary used by the FileDJ; determines the location where the MP3 files are found.

FileDJ.music-library.home

The directory containing your MP3 files, if you use a FileDJ. This is a directory path, which can be either absolute or relative to the application itself.

FileDJ.music-director

Class of MusicDirector used by the FileDJ; determines the order in which tracks are played.

FileDJ.music-filters

An optional list of classnames of MusicDirectorFilter implementations that can filter the tracknames being passed from the MusicDirector to the FileDJ. Typically set to "HTMLPlaylistFilter".

html-playlist.src

The HTML template file used by the HTMLPlaylistFilter to generate its playlists.

html-playlist.dst

The location where playlist files will be created. This should point to a file within the directory tree being served by your web server.
