Feature #51 kissdx remote administration - view config feature

This feature is requested : http://www.vidartysse.net/BUGS/view_bug.php?bug_id=51 New command-line options for managing a running kissdx server from the same computer, or even from a remote host. Management functions include

* STOP = Stop kissdx at the enf of current file playback
* FORCESTOP = Stop kissdx whatever any streaming occurs
* RELOAD_CONFIG = re-read the configuration file to pick up changes.
* GET_TXT_CONFIG = Get current configuration loaded in memory

[edit]
Context

The context is a running system on which, you just connect. What config file has been used ? what directory is currently streamed ?

Using a 'ps -aux|grep kiss' does not give an 100% sure information, because a local modification of kissdx.conf may have occured since last usage.

kissdx looks at startup a set of config file. How to know if kissd.conf or kissdx.conf has been used ?
[edit]
Expectation

Using another instance of kissdx to send a "GET_TXT_CONFIG" message.
kissdx server receiving this command should answer with a set of "Text" oriented information.
Future feature may be "GET_KML_CONFIG" to return a KML orientied information.
[edit]
Code analysis

config.c already contains a function to display config at startup time in console mode.

void show_current_config_Verbose(const config_settings_t *config_p)

The objective is to display content of *config pointer.

First step is to duplicate the section of 30 lines of log() to be send_config()

cons: double maintenance effort
ex: log("kissdx %s is now using the following config:", KISSD_VERSION);

Second step may be a function returning an XML flow and a function to render it according text, html,kml ... kissdx release incorporating libxml2 may help managing this orientation
[edit]
LIST_VIDEO for kissdx in client mode

During development, it become mandatory to create a simulator to avoid the usage of KiSS player (already in use by my kids) A new administration command : LIST_VIDEO send a PCLINK-TCP:8000 command LIST VIDEO and display the result

olivier@ubuntudev:~/eclipse/workspace2/kissdx$ ./kissdx -s LIST_VIDEO -m 10.39.10.1
Admin command requested : LIST_VIDEO
kissdx Administration Client with command [LIST_VIDEO][10]

GET_TXT_CONFIG : kissdx admin command

kissdx client mode ===> PCLINK://IP:8008 "GET_TXT_CONFIG ||\n"
kissdx.c: main() parse command line, detect Send options with GET_TXT_CONFIG
=> cmdclient.c: get_txt_config() * Specific behaviour is : send string and print response
==> cmdclient.c: deliver_tcp_cmd() -Generic function sending 'only' a string and return the socket created
while !eof(?) print result of read(socket) -print response
kissdx.h: which constant definition ?

kissdx server mode ===> PCLINK://IP "Text structured content of 'config' object"
kissdx.c: dodaemon() * Accept ADMCMD request GET_TXT_CONFIG
=> cmdserver.c: handle_admin_command_gettxtconfig()
==> cmdserver.c: send_txt_config() -Create a text view of C structure 'config'
===> connection.c: send_converted_line() -Insert a ending "\n" (0x0A ?) and translate if needed

TODO : Each config line should be structured as PCLINK LIST_VIDEO response are

[edit]
Synopsis of PCLINK protocol

Kiss Player => PcLink Server (request ) : "Param1|Param2|Param3|\n"
PcLink Server => Kiss Player (response) : "Param1|Param2|Param3|\n"

Sample
PcLink request : "LIST VIDEO ||\n\r\n\r"
PcLink response : "Movie.avi| /VIDEO/Movie.avi|0|\nEOL\n"

LIST VIDEO - Request
Root listing request = "LIST VIDEO ||\n"
Subdirectory listing request = "LIST VIDEO |home_linux/eclipse/workspace2|\n"

LIST VIDEO - Response same for "LIST PICTURE" or "LIST AUDIO"
An end user movie (last entry in a tree) = Movie.avi|/home/media/video/Movie.avi|0|\n
A directory browsable = kids_video|kids_video|1|\n

Others
ACTION 2 /home/media/image/Hidden feature.jpg|\n
=> 200
SIZE /home/media/image/Hidden feature.jpg|\n
=> 000000000033898
GET /home/media/image/picture.jpg| 0 4096 |oqmzybpxxxxx|\n
GET /home/media/image/picture.jpg| 12288 4096 |oqmzybpxxxxx|\n
GET fullpath| start_position size_to_send|playerId|\n
=> Read 71 bytes

Admin command GET_TXT_CONFIG protocol
Global config request = "GET_TXT_CONFIG ||\n"
Specific config request = "GET_TXT_CONFIG |configuration_parameter_name|\n"
-
Global config response = (multiple line) of specific response
Specific config response = Parameter_name|parameter_value_inTxtFormat|comment|\n"
