14 <h2>List of plugins</h2>
16 <p>Here are the plugins shipped in the source tree:
20 * Audio <em>(2 backends: ALSA/PulseAudio)</em>
21 * Radio <em>(1 backend: RTLSDR RTL2832U)</em>
22 * Media <em>(1 backend: Rygel UPnP)</em></p>
24 <p>All plugins may not be built, depending on the development libraries present on the system at build time.</p>
26 <h2>Detail of plugins</h2>
28 <p>### Hello World</p>
30 <p>A sample Hello World plugin for demonstration and learning purposes.</p>
32 <p>This plugin provides a few unauthenticated requests, all beginning with "ping" ("<em>pingSample</em>", "<em>pingJson</em>", "<em>pingFail</em>"...) to demonstrate basic binder capabilities.</p>
34 <p>### Authentication</p>
36 <p>An sample Authentication plugin for demonstration purposes.</p>
38 <p>This plugin provides a few requests to demonstrate the binder's token-based security mechanism.</p>
40 <p>Calling "<em>connect</em>" with a security token will initiate a session, calling "<em>refresh</em>" will issue a new token and invalidate the previous one, calling "<em>logout</em>" will invalidate all tokens and close the session.</p>
42 <p>### Tic Tac Toe</p>
44 <p>A sample Tic Tac Toe game plugin.</p>
46 <p>This plugin provides an interactive Tic Tac Toe game where the binder returns the grid as a JSON response. </p>
50 <p>A sample Audio plugin with 2 backends:
52 * PulseAudio (optional)</p>
54 <p>This plugin is able to initialize a specific soundcard, define volume levels, channels (mono/stereo...), mute sound, and play a 22,050 Hz PCM stream.</p>
56 <p><em>(if PulseAudio development libraries are not found at build time, only ALSA will be available)</em></p>
58 <p><em>(if a PulseAudio server is not found at runtime, the plugin will dynamically fall back to ALSA)</em></p>
60 <p><em>(a specifc backend can be forced by using this syntax before running afb-daemon : <strong>$ export AFB</em>AUDIO<em>OUTPUT=Alsa</strong>)</em></p>
64 <p>A sample AM/FM Radio plugin with 1 backend:
65 * RTLSDR - Realtek RTL2832U dongles (mandatory)</p>
67 <p>This plugin is able to initialize specific RTL2832U dongles, switch between AM/FM modes, define frequency, mute sound, and play sound (if combining with the <strong>audio</strong> plugin).</p>
69 <p><em>(if rtlsdr development libraries are not found at build time, this plugin will not be built)</em></p>
73 <p>A sample Media Server plugin with 1 backend:
76 <p><em>(if GUPnP/GSSDP development libraries are not found at build time, this plugin will not be built)</em></p>
78 <p>This plugin is able to detect a local Rygel UPnP media server, list audio files, select an audio file for playback, play/pause/seek in this file, upload an audio file to the server.</p>
84 <p>Sample command-line applications: <em>afb-client-demo</em> (built by default)</p>
