DriveCast Syncher client installation readme
============================================

Here are the source files to create a DriveCast client synchronizer, optimized
to work in a linux command-line environment.

The external libs required to compile DriveCast Syncher are:

 - libcurl3-openssl-dev
 - libxml2-dev

The soucers are just made by 3 files. To compile them use the commands: 

 g++ -Wall -c downloader.c
 g++ -Wall -I. -I/usr/include/libxml2 -c engine_osl.c
 g++ -Wall -pthread -o DriveCastSyncher engine_osl.o downloader.o -L/usr/lib -lcurl -lxml2

Once DriveCast Syncher is compiled, some folder must be created:
If starting point is home folder ( ~ ), and DriveCastUSB is saved in ~, do:

 mkdir DriveCast
 mkdir DriveCast/Programs
 mkdir DriveCast/Programs/CastInfo
 cp DriveCastSyncher DriveCast/Programs

Now put your DriveCast RSS URL inside a feed.info file

To get DriveCast RSS URL just login with your account to DriveCast site 

  http://drivecast.eu

Once logged, look at top right and you will see 3 voices: 

  <your account name>, RSS, Exit

Just click on RSS link and copy it (it should be something like 
http://drivecast.eu/rss/rss.php?D=x=ccUGkzNWThz4cBx310RLYjzfakdGz2FLNuxHbINm0jVLNsUJDMiFGdzhjRHJmZ - 
this URL doesn't exist, it's only a syntax example).
To insert the RSS feed URL in feed.info you can do:
  echo http://drivecast.eu/rss/rss.php?D=x=ccUGkzNWThz4cBx310RLYjzNakdGz2FLNuxHbINm0jVLNsUJDMiFGdzhjRHJmZ > DriveCast/Programs/CastInfo/feed.info

To run the synchronization program start it as:

 DriveCast/Programs/DriveCastSyncher

DriveCastSyncher doesn't print to STDOUT any output.
Media files downloaded from DriveCastSyncher are in (assuming the starting path from ~):

 DriveCast/MyMedia/Library

To change Media directory name, just mod lines 21 and 22 in engine_osl.h file:

22. #define MYMEDIA_DIR_CONST "../MyMedia"
23. #define MY_AUDIO_DIR_CONST "../MyMedia/Library"
