* Move -m and -n command line options into the config file
* Restructure configuration file:
- Group into "server", "stream", "media", "metadata", "decoders", and
"encoders"
- Untangle decoder and encoder:
o Decoders match on file extensions and convert to a canonical "internal"
format
o Encoders create one of the supported stream formats, potentially using
different parameters (like bitrate)
- Consistently specify stream format
- Enable reencoding by selecting an encoder
* Architecturally separate configuration file storage from parsing
- Allows for different configuration back-ends in the future, like
YAML, SQL, REST API, ...
* Support roll-back in case of error on (re)load
* Anticipate HTTPS support
This has been reported by Alexandre Rebert in February 2013(!).
The time to fix is terrible; luckily, the affected user base is likely to be
very small.
Add new <metadata_refreshinterval/> feature and configuration option. Based on
a patch by Matthew Adams (thanks!), with minor changes and documentation
additions by me.
(cherry picked from commit 4176545211)
There are a few benefits to this, but the main reason is consistency and me
completely understanding what's going on. Regressions are not expected, but
wouldn't surprise either ... this needs lots of testing.
