2. Installation
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of version 0.3.0, ezstream no longer comes with an installer. If you have a
|
|
previous version of ezstream installed, you might want to simply uninstall it.
|
|
|
|
The ezstream.exe file can be run from any location. To install it, simply copy
|
|
it to a location of your choosing. To make it available anywhere on the
|
|
system, add the installation folder to your PATH environment variable.
|
|
|
|
If it doesn't start, e.g. running
|
|
> ezstream.exe -h
|
|
does not show the command line help, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 runtime
|
|
libraries are missing. Download and install vcredist_x86.exe, which can be
|
|
easily found on www.microsoft.com via
|
|
http://www.google.com/search?q=vc+2008+redist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Limited functionality
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
A few useful features are missing in the Windows version of ezstream:
|
|
* Runtime control via signals is not possible.
|
|
* Some useful external utilities (encoders, decoders) may not be available on
|
|
Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
