--authdir path
path
to
search
for flixd authorization files (default: user’s
home directory)
--pidfile file
write pid to file; e.g., /var/run/flixd.pid
--logfile file
file to log messages to (default:
debug
mode:
stderr,
daemon
mode: use syslog(3))
--loglevel level
logging verbosity (0-4, 0: none, 1: errors, 2: status, 3: debug,
4: heavy), the levels are cumulative. (default: 2, errors+infor-
mational)
ENVIRONMENT
flixd’s behavior is affected by the following environment variables.
FLIXD_MENCODER
This
variable
specifies the path to mencoder that flixd should
use during transcoding. By default flixd allows
the
system
to
locate
mencoder
via
the
PATH environment variable. Therefore
this variable is useful if you have installed mencoder to a non-
standard
location
or
have
multiple
versions
of
mencoder
installed. For
example,
if
you
have
installed
mencoder
to
/opt/on2/flixengine/bin
you
would
set
FLIXD_MEN-
CODER=/opt/on2/flixengine/bin/mencoder to ensure this version is
used during transcoding.
FLIX_OGG_PHYMEM_PCTMAX
This variable controls the maximum amount of physical memory any
one encode instance’s ogg demuxer will use. This is to prevent a
possible
segmentation fault due to unchecked memory allocations
within libogg. This value is given as an integer percent,
e.g.,
FLIX_OGG_PHYMEM_PCTMAX=50, will limit the demuxer’s memory usage
to 50% of available physical memory. If left unset or set
to
0
the
only
upper
bound is that imposed by the system itself.
A
reasonable target is 400-500MB.
HOME
When --authdir is omitted HOME
is
used
as
the
authorization
directory.
TMPDIR Temporary file location. If unset /tmp is used.
