-<title>Getting Started</title>
+<title>Overview</title>
<para>
- Start here.
+ GStreamer Streaming Server (or GSS for short) is a custom HTTP
+ server that has specific features that make it useful for serving
+ media files, particularly live streaming video and video on demand.
+ GSS works best as a specialized origin server for only the media
+ portion of a web site. This is similar to how you might use a
+ separate web server (and different web server software) for static
+ content vs. dynamic content.
</para>
+ <para>
+ In this chapter, there are sections for installing GSS, configuring
+ GSS, and a section each for using GSS for live streams and video on
+ demand streams.
+ </para>
+
+</refsect1>
+
+<refsect1>
+<title>Installation</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The recommended installation method is to use the Ubuntu PPA
+ to install to a server running Ubuntu. This will install the
+ appropriate files to start/stop the HTTP server when the machine
+ is turned on/off, using Upstart. When installing from source,
+ the relevant files should be manually copied from the debian/
+ directory in the source code.
+ </para>
+
+<refsect2>
+<title>Installing Packages on Ubuntu</title>
+
+<para>
+ The GSS project maintainer occasionally uploads snapshots to the
+ GStreamer Streaming Server PPA, hosted on Launchpad. Launchpad
+ automatically builds the package for precise on amd64 and i386,
+ which can be installed on precise or any later Ubuntu system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+ The GSS PPA, including instructions for installing packages, can be
+ found on Launchpad at
+ <ulink role="online-location" url="https://launchpad.net/~dschleef/+archive/matterhorn-ppa/">https://launchpad.net/~dschleef/+archive/matterhorn-ppa/</ulink>.
+ The package is called "gst-streaming-server".
+</para>
+
+</refsect2>
+
+<refsect2>
+<title>Installing from source on Linux or UNIX-like systems</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The source code for GSS is stored using git at
+ <ulink role="online-location" url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-streaming-server/">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-streaming-server/</ulink>.
+ No source code releases in tar form have been done yet.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Code can be checked out from git using the commands:
+
+ <literallayout>
+ <userinput>git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-streaming-server</userinput>
+ </literallayout>
+ </para>
+
+ <!-- this has been borrowed from the glib docs -->
+ <para>
+ On UNIX, GStreamer Streaming Server uses the standard GNU build system,
+ using <application>autoconf</application> for package
+ configuration and resolving portability issues,
+ <application>automake</application> for building makefiles
+ that comply with the GNU Coding Standards, and
+ <application>libtool</application> for building shared
+ libraries on multiple platforms. The normal sequence for
+ compiling and installing GSS is thus:
+
+ <literallayout>
+ <userinput>./configure</userinput>
+ <userinput>make</userinput>
+ <userinput>make install</userinput>
+ </literallayout>
+
+ The GSS web server can be tested in development by running the
+ program gss-streaming-server in the tools/ directory.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The standard options provided by <application>GNU
+ autoconf</application> may be passed to the
+ <command>configure</command> script. Please see the
+ <application>autoconf</application> documentation or run
+ <command>./configure --help</command> for information about
+ the standard options.
+ </para>

+<title>Using GSS for Video On Demand</title>
+
+ <para>
+ A collection of test files is available for testing video on
+ demand. It is at FIXME.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Once the test collection is downloaded, untar the collection into
+ a convenient temporary directory. Then create a directory named 'vod'
+ in the base directory for the web server. If you are running in
+ development, this will be the directory in which the gst-streaming-server
+ resides. If running from Ubuntu packages, this will be
+ /var/lib/gst-streaming-server/.
