Synopsis
========

``supysonic-daemon``

Description
===========

``supysonic-daemon`` is an optional non-exiting process made to be ran in the
background to manage background scans, library changes detection and the jukebox
mode (audio played on the server hardware).

If ``supysonic-daemon`` is running when you start a manual scan using
``supysonic-cli``\ (1), the scan will be run by the daemon process in the
background instead of running in the foreground. This daemon also enables the
web UI scan feature.

With proper configuration, ``supysonic-daemon`` also allows authorized users to
play audio on the machine's hardware, using their client as a remote control.

Bugs
====

Bugs can be reported to your distribution's bug tracker or upstream
at https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic/issues.
