       daemon.

DESCRIPTION

       The file /etc/deejayd.conf is an INI like file which configures
       deejayd. The format looks like this :

           [sectionname]
           variable = value
           othervariable = othervalue

           [othersection]

GENERAL SECTION

       This section defines the general section configuration values for all
       of deejayd components.

       log
           Log level. Possible values are error to log only errors, info to be
           more verbose and debug to log all messages.

       activated_modes
           Modes enabled. Available modes are : playlist for audio playlists,
           panel for audio panel mode like rhythmbox, webradio for streamed
           webradios, video for video directories playback, dvd for DVD
           playback. As an example :

               activated_modes = playlist, panel, webradio, video

       fullscreen
           Fullscreen video. This is mainly a debugging configuration value
           and you want this to be set to yes if you use the video mode. Set
           this to no if you want to be able to control deejayd using some
           graphical client on the same display.

       replaygain
           Replaygain support, yes or no.

       media_backend
           The chosen media backend. Possible values are : auto for whichever
           works, trying first with Xine, xine for the Xine backend, gstreamer
           for the GStreamer backend.

NET SECTION

       This section defines the net section configuration values. This defines
       all that relates to the TCP XML messaging interface to deejayd.

       enabled
           Remote control using XML messages, yes or no.

           The numerical TCP port number to listen on for XML messages, yes or
           no.

       bind_addresses
           The hostname(s), the IP address(es) of the network ipv4 interface
           to listen on for XML messages, or all to listen on all available
           interfaces.

               bind_addresses = localhost, 192.168.51.1, 10.2.3.4

WEBUI SECTION

       This section defines the webui section configuration values. This
       defines all that relates to the HTTP web user interface to deejayd.

       enabled
           Remote control using the HTTP web ui, yes or no.

       port
           The numerical TCP port number to listen on for HTTP request.  yes

       tmp_dir
           This is a temporary directory used by the deejayd webui for
           caching. It should probably be located in /tmp. The only use case
           which would involve changing this would be for running multiple
           deejayd daemons running on the same host (with both webuis
           enabled).

       refresh
           Automatic refreshing time for the webui (in seconds). This is the
           delay after which your browser will be asked to reload the web ui
           state (song position, current song, etc). Set to 0 to disable this
           automatic reloading.
