NAME

       flumotion-worker - streaming media server worker

SYNOPSIS

       flumotion-worker  [ - ] [ --debug debug configuration ] [ -L logdir ] [
       -R rundir ] [ -H host ] [ -P port ] [ -T protocol ] [ -n name ] [ -D  ]
       [  --daemonize-to=  directory  ] [ -F ports | --random-feederports ] -u
       username -p password

DESCRIPTION

       flumotion-worker is the part of flumotion that  actually  performs  all
       the real work of encoding, streaming, etc. In a flumotion system, there
       will be a single manager, and  could  be  several  workers  running  on
       different  systems  (this  is  useful  to  distribute  the load of, for
       instance, video encoding). You need to have a minimum of one worker for
       flumotion to function correctly.

       You should start flumotion-manager first, then connect flumotion-worker
       to the running manager.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show a brief help message, then exit.

       --version
              Show the version number.

       -v, --verbose
              Be verbose in console output. This is equivalent to setting  the
              debug level to 3, and will override any debug specifiers.

       -dDEBUG, --debug=DEBUG
              Set  the  debug configuration to the specified debug string. See
              the Debugging section for details of this.

       -L LOGDIR, --logdir=LOGDIR
              Specify the directory for logging output from the worker.

       -R RUNDIR, --rundir=RUNDIR
              Specify the directory for runtime files created by the worker.

       -HHOST, --host=HOST
              Specify the hostname on which the manager is running.

       -PPORT, --port=PORT
              Specify the port on which the manager in running  (usually  7531
              for SSL, or 8642 otherwise)

       -TTRANSPORT, --transport=TRANSPORT
              Set  the  transport  protocol  to  use,  either  'tcp' or 'ssl'.
              Default is 'ssl'.

       -nNAME, --name=NAME
              Set the name for this worker to use in the manager.

       -D, --daemonize
              Run in the background as a daemon.

       -u, --username
              Specify the username to use to connect to the manager.

       -p, --password
              Specify the password to use to connect to the manager.

       -FPORTS, --feederports=PORT_FROM:PORT_TO
              Specify the range of feeder ports to use in the  format  'lower-
              upper'. These are the ports used for inter-worker communication.
              If you have multiple workers on seperate  systems  (perhaps  one
              doing  encoding,  behind  a  firewall,  and  a  second doing the
              streaming  outside  the  firewall),  they  must   be   able   to
              communicate  using this port range, so you'll have to open these
              ports in your firewall. It is recommended that you have a  range
              of 20 ports.

       --random-feederports
              Use random available feeder ports.

DEBUGGING

       In  the unlikely event of something in flumotion not working, you might
       want to debug it. The flumotion tools ( flumotion-worker  ,  flumotion-
       admin  ,  and  flumotion-manager  )  all  alow you to turn on debugging
       output in two different ways.

       Firstly, you can use an environment variable, FLU_DEBUG. Secondly,  you
       can  launch  the  program  with a -d or --debug switch. Either approach
       allows you to specify a debug configuration string with  the  following
       syntax:

              name1:n1,name2:n2,name3:n3

       In this syntax, the 'name' variables can be replaced with the name of a
       particular module within flumotion (such as 'admin', 'twisted',  etc.).
       You  can  also  use  '*'  to specify all modules. The 'n' variables are
       numbers from 1 to 5,  larger  numbers  corresponding  to  more  verbose
       output  (ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, and LOG). At level 4, full debugging
       information is emitted.

       You can also use an abbreviated form where you  just  supply  a  single
       number,  thisuses  that  debug level for all modules. Thus the simplest
       way to enable full debug output for all modules is to use '-d 4' on the
       command line.

       A  more  complex  example  would be '-d *:3,admin:4' to set the logging
       level for the admin module to DEBUG, and for all other modules to INFO.

EXAMPLES

       Simple example, starting flumotion-worker connecting to a manager using
       TCP, default host and port,  and  with  the  username  'user'  and  the
       password 'test'

              flumotion-worker     -v    -T    tcp    -u    user    -p    test
              --feederports=8060-8080
