All 'yes'/'no' options have to be strings and surrounded by apostrophes, to avoid Ansible changing them to True or False.
All variables and their defaults
upnp_library_name: Gerbera Library
A friendly name for display in the renderer devices.
ui_enabled: 'yes'
UI is activated.
accounts_enabled: true
Use a password restricted account to access the UI.

gerbera_user: gerbera
User name for the UI access.
gerbera_port: 49153
Port for the UI. Note, that because of the implementation in the UPnP SDK only ports above 49152 are supported.
uuid: deb6bdc2-ac9f-4ada-bc61-ce9f4628b35a
UPnP devices must use unique UUIDs. Usually, Gerbera creates a new UUID after a fresh installation. With this module, supply a UUID for every instance (can be ignored if only one instance will be running).
gerbera_home: /var/lib/gerbera
Storage location for instance dependent files (ie. sqlite3 database). Use separate directories for multiple instances.
gerbera_webhome: /usr/share/gerbera/web
Usually shared amongst instances. Change if you want to tinker about with the appearance of the UI. This directory will not be maintained by this module!
mysql_host: ""
By default, a local sqlite3 database is used this host name is empty. An external mysql/mariadb server may be used. In this case, configure also:
mysql_user: gerbera
mysql_database: gerbera
mysql_password: <no default>
You must configure the manatory password, or the role will raise an error.
navigation_type: enhanced

custom: add your own script (see the includedimport_structured.jsfor an example). -
disabled: no navigation will be created.navigation_custom_script: ""
If navigation_type is custom, enter the (server side) path here. You have to take care of the installation of a custom script.

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers
roles:
- { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
BSD
An optional section for the role authors to include contact information, or a website (HTML is not allowed).
