INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. (Optional) Add the directory containing zeya.py to your PATH.
2. Install dependencies:
Install the Ogg/Vorbis encoder and the decoders for one or more of the
following: Ogg/Vorbis, FLAC, MP3, and M4A. On a Debian/Ubuntu system you can
do this with:
# Vorbis encoder and decoder (required)
aptitude install vorbis-tools
# Flac/MP3/M4A decoders (optional; needed for playing music in those
# formats)
aptitude install flac mpg123 faad
Make sure you have Python 2.5 or 2.6 installed:
aptitude install python2.6
Python 2.5 users will need to install the simplejson library:
aptitude install python-simplejson
If you're using the 'dir' (directory) backend, also install tagpy:
aptitude install python-tagpy
If you're using Fedora, you can install the requisite packages (excluding
MP3/M4A support) with:
yum install vorbis-tools flac python-simplejson python-tag
3. Run zeya.py. The --help flag shows the available options. We support three
backends:
'dir': read all music in a directory and its subdirectories. This is the
default.
$ zeya.py --path=/path/to/music # If omitted, --path defaults to ./
'rhythmbox': read files from the current user's Rhythmbox library.
$ zeya.py --backend=rhythmbox
'playlist': read files from the specified m3u or PLS playlist file
$ zeya.py --backend=playlist --path=/path/to/your/m3u/pls/file
CLIENT SUPPORT
Zeya works well in Firefox 3.5+ and Chrome 4+. See the section below, titled
"NOTES ON SUPPORTED CLIENTS", for more details.
We also provide zeyaclient.py, a rudimentary Python client (1) for use when a
more lightweight client is needed or when no HTML5-compliant browser is
available and (2) as a simple example of programmatic (and non browser-based)
access to a Zeya servers.
NOTES ON SUPPORTED CLIENTS
* Firefox
All Firefox versions >= 3.5 should work.
Zeya is known to work in Firefox 3.5.3 on GNU/Linux and Windows.
* Chrome
Zeya should work in Chrome 4.0.223+, on GNU/Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.
Known issues:
Latency between when you click on a song and when it starts playing is high.
Chrome seems to require the Content-Length header to be set on audio data,
so we have to finish encoding the entire file before we can send any data
to the client.
* Internet Explorer (with Chrome Frame plugin)
Known Issues: see Chrome KIs above.
