+== Configuration parameters for upmpdcli 
+
+=== MPD parameters 
+
+mpdhost:: Host MPD runs on. Defaults to localhost. This can also be specified as -h
+host
+
+mpdport:: IP port used by MPD Can
+also be specified as -p port. Defaults to the normal MPD port,
+6600
+
+mpdpassword:: MPD password. Password for
+connecting to *MPD* (only necessary if password access is enabled in the
+*MPD* configuration file).
+
+=== Upmpdcli general parameters 
+
+friendlyname:: "Friendly Name" for the UPnP Media
+Renderer. This will be displayed by most Control Points to
+identify the Renderer. Some OpenHome Control Points may display the
+'ohproductroom' value instead.
+
+upnpav:: Enable UPnP AV services
+(0/1). This is set by default, but it may useful to switch
+it off with some OpenHome Control Points which are too easily confused by
+the presence of UPnP AV services.
+
+openhome:: Enable OpenHome services
+(0/1). This defaults to 1, as OpenHome queuing is superior
+for most usages. There should be little reason to turn it
+off.
+
+logfilename:: Log file name. Defaults to
+stderr. This can also be specified as -d logfilename.
+
+loglevel:: Log level. 0-4. Can also be
+specified as -l loglevel.
+
+iconpath:: Path to the Renderer icon. The image will be displayed by Control Points which support
+it. The UPnP protocol has provisions for a renderer to send the URL to a
+descriptive icon as part of the device description. Due to current (and
+probably permanent) *upmpdcli* limitations, the image file *must* be a
+64x64 32 bits-per-pixel png file. Default: '$pkgdatadir/icon.png'.
+The icon will only be read once, when upmpdcli starts
+up.
+
+pkgdatadir:: XML and other constant data storage
+directory. Default: '$prefix/share/upmpcli' (e.g.:
+'/usr/share/upmpdcli').
+
+cachedir:: Directory used to store cached
+data Only used for the OpenHome queue metadata for now.
+The default value is ~/.cache/upmpdcli for normal users or
+/var/cache/upmpdcli when upmpdcli is started as root.
+
+presentationhtml:: Path to the presentation HTML
+document You can change it to replace the default
+presentation page. The page will only be read once, when upmpdcli starts
+up. It can't presently be used for status updates (but I guess that you
+could put a redirect in there, to something more dynamic served by a real
+HTTP server). Default: '$pkgdatadir/presentation.html'.
+
+pidfile:: Name of lock file used to store the current
+process pid. Only used if the process is launched by user
+root. Used by the init system, and to avoid multiple instances. The only
+reason to change the value is if you actually want to have several
+instances running (also change cachedir in this case).
+
+=== UPnP network parameters 
+
+upnpiface:: Network interface to use for
+UPnP. libupnp/pupnp only supports communicating on a single
+interface and will use the first found, this allows forcing the use of
+another interface.
+
+upnpip:: IP address to use for UPnP,
+alternative to using an interface name. 
+
+upnpport:: Port number used for
+UPnP. libupnp/pupnp defaults to using the first free port
+after 49152. Note that clients do not need to know about the value, which
+is automatically discovered.
+
+=== Audio control hooks 
+
+onstart:: Command to run when playback is about to
+begin. Specify the full path to the
+program, e.g. /usr/bin/logger.
+
+onplay:: Command to run when MPD state switches to "PLAY".
+ Specify the full path to the program,
+e.g. /usr/bin/logger.
+
+onstop:: Command to run when MPD state switches to
+"STOP". Specify the full path to the program,
+e.g. /usr/bin/logger.
+
+externalvolumecontrol:: Use external commands to manage
+the the sound volume (0/1). This is used in the case where MPD
+is unable to control the volume, but some other command can, for example
+if you have an external amp on which it is possible to set and read the
+volume through scripts. If set, the calls to MPD to set and read the volume
+will be replaced by executions of 'onvolumechange' and
+'getexternalvolume'
+
+getexternalvolume:: Command to run for reading the sound
+volume. The command should write a 0-100 numeric value to
+stdout.
+
+onvolumechange:: Command to run to set the
+volume. Used when 'externalvolumecontrol' is set.
+Specify the full path to the program, which is called with the volume as
+the first argument, e.g. /some/script 85.
+
+=== OpenHome parameters 
+
+ohmanufacturername:: Manufacturer name. Does not vary at
+run-time. 
+
+ohmanufacturerinfo:: Manufacturer information. Does not
+vary at run-time. 
+
+ohmanufacturerurl:: URL for manufacturer web site. Does
+not vary at run-time. 
+
+ohmanufacturerimageuri:: Uri for manufacturer���s logo. Does
+not vary at run-time. 
+
+ohmodelname:: Model name. Does not vary at
+run-time. 
+
+ohmodelinfo:: Model information. Does not vary at
+run-time. 
+
+ohmodelurl:: URL for model web site. Does not vary at
+run-time. 
+
+ohmodelimageuri:: Uri for model���s icon. Does not vary at
+run-time. 
+
+ohproductname:: User-visible product name. By default
+this is set to ModelName. 
+
+ohproductroom:: The name of the room where the Product
+is located. Set to ���Main Room��� by default, displayed in
+place of the "friendly name" by some control points.  ProductRoom is used
+to group the Product with other related Products in the same physical
+room (e.g. a source with a pre-amp). Products which are physically linked
+must always share the same ProductRoom name.
+
+ohproductinfo:: Product information. Does not vary at
+run-time. 
+
+ohproducturl:: URL for product web site. This may be the
+UPnP presentation page. 
+
+ohproductimageuri:: Uri for product image. Does not vary
+at run-time. 
+
+ohmetapersist:: Save queue metadata to disk
+(0/1). This allows persistence of the metadata information
+across restarts, the default is 1, and there is no reason to turn it
+off.
+
+ohmetasleep:: Mimimum interval (Seconds) between two
+cache saves. Increasing this may improve playlist load
+speed on a slow device. The default is to start a new save as soon as the
+previous one is done (if the list changed again inbetween).
+
+=== Songcast Receiver parameters 
+
+sclogfilename:: Log file name for sc2mpd (default
+stderr) The value *must not* be the same as the one used
+for upmpdcli.
+
+scloglevel:: Log verbosity for sc2mpd. 
+
+scplaymethod:: sc2mpd play method
+(mpd/alsa). With this set as 'alsa', sc2mpd will send the
+audio directly to the sound driver, which is the only way to really avoid
+skips and control the synchronization in multi-room setups.
+
+schttpport:: Port used by sc2mpd for MPD to connect
+to. Used only for scplaymethod=mpd. sc2mpd only accepts
+connections from localhost.
+
+scalsadevice:: Alsa device used by sc2mpd for playing
+audio. Only used for scplaymethod=alsa. Use 'aplay -L' to
+see the possible values.
+
+sccvttype:: sc2mpd resampling method. 
+Only used for scplaymethod=alsa. sc2mpd uses libsamplerate. The default
+method is SRC_SINC_FASTEST and a Rasberry Pi 1 is fast enough to use it.
+Possible values: SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY, SRC_SINC_MEDIUM_QUALITY,
+SRC_SINC_FASTEST, SRC_ZERO_ORDER_HOLD, SRC_LINEAR.  See the libsamplerate
+documentation for descriptions. Anything above SRC_SINC_FASTEST needs a
+serious CPU.  BEST_QUALITY uses approx 25% cpu on a core i7
+4770T. Obviously too much, actually might not be sustainable (it's almost
+100% of 1 cpu).  MEDIUM_QUALITY is around 10% on the same machine,
+FASTEST is 4-5%. Given that this is measured for the full process, probably
+a couple % for the conversion in fact.
+
+sc2mpd:: Path to sc2mpd. Only useful if it
+is not in /usr/bin and the location is not in the $PATH for the init
+scripts.
+
+=== Songcast Sender parameters 
+
+scsenderpath:: Path to the script which starts the
+auxiliary mpd and the sender process. 
+
+scstreamscaled:: Decide if we scale the songcast
+stream. If set, MPD software volume control will be applied
+to the stream. True by default: using a Control Point to set the volume
+on the upmpdcli instance which started the Sender affects the volume for
+all Receivers.
+
+scsendermpdport:: localhost port to use by the auxiliary
+mpd. 
+
+scripts_dir:: Location for the scripts used to set up
+additional external sources. See the Songcast Sender
+support documentation page.
