NAME

smc_ls - list playable titles on a Sun MediaCenter server

SYNOPSIS

smc_ls [smc_svr_name]

AVAILABILITY

Available with the Sun MediaCenter Server software.

DESCRIPTION

The smc_ls list the titles available for playback on a local or remote Sun MediaCenter server. You can play these titles through the facilities of the Media Stream Manager. For each title stored on a Sun MediaCenter server, smc_ls returns the title name, the normal play time, the available playback speeds, and an indication of whether the title is in use or is free.

OPTIONS

The smc_ls command allows you to specify the name of a remote Sun MediaCenter server, to obtain a title list from that server. To run smc_ls remotely, you need only the smc_ls binary, which is installed with the Sun MediaCenter software.

EXAMPLES

The following example lists all playable content on a local Sun MediaCenter server:

server% smc_ls
Title           Status NPT              Format          Available Speeds
terminator2     cm      01:52:30        MPEGTCE         1000,4000,-4000
dr_zhivago      FREE    02:48:21        MPEG1SYS        1000,4000,-4000
mary_poppins cm,msm 02:03:17            MPEGPS          1000,-1000

Note, under "Available Speeds", that "1000" represents normal speed, forward direction. A value "4000" represents four times normal speed; "-4000" represents four times normal speed in the reverse direction.

Under "Status", FREE indicates the title is not in use. The string "cm" indicates the title is in use by the Content Manager (for example, if it is being copied to another server). The string "msm" indicates the title is being played (by the Media Stream Manager).
