- changed cpp-httplib git submodule path to https://github.com/bondagit/cpp-httplib.git
- removed compilation warning related to the usage of Boost bind global placeholders
- updated daemon version to 2.0.2
Previously, since the introduction of the streamer support in version 2.0.0,
it was impossible to compile the daemon without a dependency on libfaac.
This prevented the daemon from being built on Debian systems without `non-free`
repositories enabled. It seems the issue with libfaac is that it is based on
code with a non-DFSG compliant license.
This commit introduces a new config option WITH_STREAMER which is ON by default,
causing the behaviour to stay backwards-compatible with the one before this
commit. It is newly possible to pass `-DWITH_STREAMER=OFF` to cmake to build
without streamer support and without the dependency on libfaac.
The HTTP Streamer can be enabled via the _streamer_enabled_ daemon parameter.
When the Streamer is active the daemon starts capturing the configured _Sinks_ up to the maximum number of channels configured by the _streamer_channels_ parameters.
The captured PCM samples are split into _streamer_files_num_ files of _streamer_file_duration_ duration (in seconds) for each sink, compressed using AAC LC codec and served via HTTP.
The HTTP streamer requires the libfaac-dev package to compile.
Please note that since the HTTP Streamer uses the RAVENNA ALSA device for capturing it's not possible to use such device for other audio captures.
Added to the WebUI the possibility to directly select a remote source SDP file for a Sink.
New files:
daemon/mdns_client.hpp,cpp -> mDNS client implementation using Avahi client library
daemon/rtsp_client.hpp,cpp -> RTSP client implementation used to transfer SDP file
daemon/utils.cpp -> used for common utility functions
.clang-format -> added clang-format configuration file
Modified files:
daemon/CMakeList.txt -> added support for Avahi and option WITH_AVAHI=[yes/no] to compile the daemon with or without Avahi mDNS support
daemon/config.hpp,cpp -> added configuration option mdns_enabled to enable or disable mDNS discovery at runtime
daemon/json.cpp -> extended JSON config with mdns_enabled option
daemon/browser.hpp,cpp -> added support for mDNS client to the browser
daemon/session_manager.cpp -> added support for RTSP protocol to Source URL field and fixed issue with SDP file parsing
webui/RemoteSources.js -> added visualization of mDNS remote sources
webui/SinkEdit.js -> added the possibility to directly select a remote source SDP file for a Sink
webui/SourceInfo.js -> added visualization of protocol source (SAP, mDNS or local) for a source
ubuntu-packages.sh -> added libavahi-client-dev to the list of required packages
build.sh -> added WITH_AVAHI=yes option when invoking CMake
README.md -> added notes about mDNS support via Avahi
daemon/README.md -> added notes about mDNS support via Avahi, support for RTSP protocol in source and new mdns_enabled config param
Additional minor changes to remaining files.
- added "sap_mcast_addr" parameter to daemon conguration and WebUI to configure the SAP multicast address used for sending and receiving source announcements
- added REST API to retrieve the remote sources collected by the daemon (GET /api/browse/sources)
- added Browser tab to the WebUI to visualize info on the available remote sources
- added Info function to sources listed in the Sources tab to visualize the associated SDP file
- extended daemon regression tests to test the SAP Browser
