XMMS2-MDNS-AVAHI(1)

💅 NAME

okay so bestie, this is xmms2-mdns-avahi — the whole entire vibe of this little icon is that it announces XMMS2 via mDNS ✨ that's it, that's the job.

🎀 SYNOPSIS

xmms2-mdns-avahi

literally no flags, no arguments, no nothing. she just goes 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So first, the lore 👑 — XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS (https://github.com/xmms2) music player. It features a client-server model, which means it can run multiple (even simultaneous!! 😭) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. And on top of all that, there's a flexible media library to organize your music. it's giving main character energy, honestly.

xmms2-mdns-avahi is the Avahi mDNS announcing client for XMMS2. Her whole purpose? Announce the presence of an accessible XMMS2 TCP socket if one is available. that's her moment, let her have it 💅

Here's the important bit, no cap: xmms2-mdns-avahi offers a _xmms2._tcp service if, and only if, the XMMS_PATH_FULL environmental variable contains a TCP socket. So clients that support mDNS discovery can easily locate and connect to this xmms2d(1) instance. so iconic of her honestly ⭐

🚨 pay attention to that "if, and only if" — it's not a suggestion, it's the whole rule. no TCP socket in XMMS_PATH_FULL = no _xmms2._tcp service. periodt.
