# A quick guide to configuring forked-daapd:
#
# For regular use, the most important setting to configure is "directories",
# which should be the location of your media. Whatever user you have set as
# "uid" must have read access to this location. If the location is a network
# mount, please see the README.
#
# In all likelihood, that's all you need to do!
general {
# Username
# Make sure the user has read access to the library directories you set
# below, and full access to the databases, log and local audio
uid = "daapd"
# Database location
# db_path = "/var/cache/forked-daapd/songs3.db"
# Log file and level
# Available levels: fatal, log, warning, info, debug, spam

# Admin password for the web interface
# Note that access to the web interface from computers in
# "trusted_network" (see below) does not require password
# admin_password = ""
# Websocket port for the web interface.
# websocket_port = 3688
# Sets who is allowed to connect without authorisation. This applies to
# client types like Remotes, DAAP clients (iTunes) and to the web
# interface. Options are "any", "localhost" or the prefix to one or
# more ipv4/6 networks. The default is { "localhost", "192.168", "fd" }
# trusted_networks = { "localhost", "192.168", "fd" }
# Enable/disable IPv6
ipv6 = yes
# Location of cache database
# cache_path = "/var/cache/forked-daapd/cache.db"
# DAAP requests that take longer than this threshold (in msec) get their
# replies cached for next time. Set to 0 to disable caching.
# cache_daap_threshold = 1000
# When starting playback, autoselect speaker (if none of the previously
# selected speakers/outputs are available)

# Most modern systems have a high-resolution clock, but if you are on an
# unusual platform and experience audio drop-outs, you can try changing
# this option

# /srv/music/Podcasts, you can set this to "/Podcasts".
# (changing this setting only takes effect after rescan, see the README)

# Directories containing audiobooks

# Compilations usually have many artists, and if you don't want every

# (changing this setting only takes effect after rescan, see the README)

# If your album and artist lists are cluttered, you can choose to hide

# currently only works in some remotes.
# hide_singles = false
# Internet streams in your playlists will by default be shown in the
# "Radio" library, like iTunes does. However, some clients (like
# TunesRemote+) won't show the "Radio" library. If you would also like
# to have them shown like normal playlists, you can enable this option.

# default to reduce cache size.

# File types the scanner should ignore
# Non-audio files will never be added to the database, but here you
# can prevent the scanner from even probing them. This might improve

# Disable startup file scanning
# When forked-daapd starts it will do an initial file scan of your
# library (and then watch it for changes). If you are sure your library
# never changes while forked-daapd is not running, you can disable the
# initial file scan and save some system ressources. Disabling this scan
# may lead to forked-daapd's database coming out of sync with the

# Decoding options for DAAP clients
# Since iTunes has native support for mpeg, mp4a, mp4v, alac and wav,
# such files will be sent as they are. Any other formats will be decoded
# to raw wav. If forked-daapd detects a non-iTunes DAAP client, it is
# assumed to only support mpeg and wav, other formats will be decoded.
# Here you can change when to decode. Note that these settings have no
# effect on AirPlay.

# Enable automatic rating updates
# If enabled, rating is automatically updated after a song has either been
# played or skipped (only skipping to the next song is taken into account).
# The calculation is taken from the beets plugin "mpdstats" (see
# https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/mpdstats.html).
# It consist of calculating a stable rating based only on the play- and
# skipcount and a rolling rating based on the current rating and the action
# (played or skipped). Both results are combined with a mix-factor of 0.75:
# new rating = 0.75 * stable rating + 0.25 * rolling rating)
