 |
|
Hello, have installed ez stream onto my server, but when I run it from the command prompt it sais it needs config file.
Its taken me a day to work out how to run things in command prompt lol, so can any replies bare in mind that I am a complete noob at this kind of thing.
The help docs that came with ez stream didnt include the information I need. All replies appreciated. thanks

not when I dont know how to make the config file work with ez sream in first place no.
When I try & run ez stream in command prompt, it just sais it cant run because it needs a config file.
I have no idea how to incorporate the config file to make the exe run in command promp. |

The usage says ezstream [-hnqVv] -c configfile, the help part goes into a bit more detail

ok thanks
Is there anyone here who can explain this to me from the very bottom up? I have no idea about command prompts im afraid i won this dedicated server in a competition so i have it free for 6 months. i have no idea about software programming unfor tunately. Is there anyone round here who can explain to me in the simplest terms how i run this from the command line? Because the help file
| Quote: |
−c configfile
Use the XML configuration in configfile. (Mandatory. )
−h Print a summary of available command line parameters with short descriptions and exit.
−n Normalize metadata strings by removing excess whitespaces.
−q Be more quiet. Suppress the output that external programs send to standard error.
−V Print the ezstream version number and exit.
−v Produce more verbose output from ezstream. Use twice for even more verbose output.
When the −q and −v parameters are provided simultaneously, an additional line of information about the
currently streamed file — playlist position, approximate playing time and bit rate — is displayed. |
tells me nothing about how to run this from the command line, when I have never used command line before.
Are there any help files around that assume the user has no computer knowledge? rather than assuming they are essentially very much in the know when it comes to computers.
Regards

1. Inside the ezstream folder there is an examples folder. Find which one suits you best and open it in a text editor. I use dreamweaver. Edit the file to enter your file and server information. Copy this file to the main ezstream directory
2. while your in the command prompt do a cd to change directories.
for example: if your ezstream folder is on your desktop
you'll want to put in the following
cd desktop/ezstream (or whatever the folder name is)
in turn cd.. will take away a directory
3. once the path is pointed to your ezstream folder type in
ezstream -c (the filename you edited) |
