vortexbox-player README
=======================

vortexbox-player is an adapter to use the Music Player Daemon with the
Squeeze Box Server, targeted at VortexBox installations.  It acts as a
client for both MPD and SBS, and forwards SBS commands to MPD.


Using vortexbox-player
----------------------

Set the MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT environment variables unless MPD runs on
the default address.

Run "vortexbox-player SBSHOST" where "SBSHOST" is the host name or IP
address of the Squeeze Box Server.  vortexbox-player uses port 3483 on
that host by default; you may specify a different port as the second
argument on the command line.  For more information, run
"vortexbox-player --help".

vortexbox-player does not daemonize.  It is recommended to run it with tools
like "daemon", "daemontools" or other daemonization programs.
