% dtas-sourceedit(1) dtas user manual % # NAME dtas-sourceedit - edit parameters of a source decoder # SYNOPSYS dtas-sourceedit {sox | av | ff} # DESCRIPTION dtas-sourceedit spawns an editor to allow editing of a source as a YAML file. See dtas-player_protocol(7) for details on SOURCEARGS. If standard input is a pipe or file, it is parsed as YAML and fed to the dtas-player(1) instance non-interactively. This is useful for loading various profiles from the filesystem. On Linux machines with the sleepy_penguin RubyGem installed, inotify(7) is used to monitor the file for changes while the text exitor is running. Each time a user finishes saving a file, changes are committed immediately. This behavior may be disabled by using the -N or --no-watch command-line switch. # OPTIONS -N, \--no-watch : Disable inotify(7) support on Linux systems -n, \--dry-run : Only print commands which would be sent to dtas-player -V, \--verbose : Print out commands as they are sent to dtas-player # EXAMPLES Invoking dtas-sourceedit will spawn your favorite text editor on "sox": $ dtas-sourceedit sox To load an existing YAML profile for sox. saved.yml could be the output of a previous "dtas-ctl source cat sox" invocation: $ dtas-sourceedit sox < saved.yml To change the way dtas-player calls avconv (part of libav): $ dtas-sourceedit av To change the way dtas-player calls ffmpeg (lightly-tested): $ dtas-sourceedit ff # ENVIRONMENT VISUAL / EDITOR - your favorite *nix text editor, defaults to 'vi' if unset. DTAS_PLAYER_SOCK - the path to the dtas-player control socket. This defaults to ~/.dtas/player.sock # CONTACT All feedback welcome via plain-text mail to: \ Mailing list archives available at and \ No subscription is necessary to post to the mailing list. # COPYRIGHT Copyright 2013-2015 all contributors .\ License: GPLv3 or later # SEE ALSO dtas-player(1), dtas-player_protocol(7), dtas-ctl(1)
