<p>Extra functionality and behaviour changes are available in
the <key>🔌 Feature</key> <link xref="configuration">configuration</link>
section.</p>


<section>
<title>Filter Bitrate</title>
<title>🔌 Filter Bitrate</title>
<p>Some channels provide lower-quality audio streams. In particular
Xiph lists some awful radio stations. And this plugin helps filtering
those out of station lists.</p>
<list>
 <item><p>MP3 streams often start to sound okay at 96kbit/s.</p></item>
 <item><p>Whereas OGG Vorbis or AAC are sometimes acceptable at 64kbit/s already.</p></item>
</list>
<p>Note that you may end up with empty channel lists
altogether if you set these options too high. Some channels provide all
their streams with 64kbit/s only.</p>
</section>

<section>
<title>Channel toolbar link</title>
<title>🔌 Channel toolbar link</title>
<p>Adds a toolbar entry which shows the current channel/directory
service title and its homepage link. Such as:</p>
<code><span style="bold">  ▶    ●    🏠     Shoutcast</span>
play rcrd  hmpg   <link href="http://shoutcast.com/">//shoutcast.com/</link>
</code>
<p>It depends on the "update window title" option being enabled.</p>
</section>

<section>
<title>Export all stations</title>
<title>🔌 Export all stations</title>
<p>There's an "Export All" plugin available. It adds an entry under
<guiseq><gui>Main menu</gui> <gui>Extensions</gui> <gui>Export all stations</gui></guiseq>.
Which allows to export all stations from the currently visible channel category.</p>
<list>
 <item><p>This is of course intended primarily for saving your bookmarks.</p></item>
 <item><p>And it allows to import radio lists into any other music player  or playlist collection/management app (such as Rhythmbox).</p></item>
 <item><p>You can set the desired playlist format in the file saving dialog that pops up.</p></item>
</list>
</section>

<section>
<title>RadioTray hook</title>
<title>🔌 RadioTray hook</title>
<p>This plugin enables an extra category in the <key>bookmarks</key> tab.
It shows bookmarked stations from the RadioTray application, if that's
installed. Additionally it adds an context option to save new stations
from Streamtuner2 to RadioTray. The mapping option influences if added
radios are recategorized in RadioTray.</p>
<note><p> Please see the Wiki for further <link href="http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/wiki/radiotray">setup instructions</link>.</p></note>
</section>

<section>
<title><p>User Agent Switcher</p></title>
<title>🔌 User Agent Switcher</title>
<p>This plugin merely masks Streamtuner2 as an ordinary web browser when retrieving station lists.</p>
<list>
 <item><p> It's technically unneeded, as ST2 isn't stressful to directory websites and not blocked anywhere. </p></item>
 <item><p>It's only useful as additional privacy feature really, but shouldn't be used habitually. </p></item>
</list>
</section>

<title>Downloadable contrib/ feature plugins</title>

<p>The <link xref="pluginmanager2">Plugin Manager</link> lists other
available feature plugins in the <key>📦 Add</key> tab.</p>

<terms>
  <item>
    <title><p>Soundcloud streaming</p></title>
    <p>Enables playback of soundcloud.com links in the Reddit plugin.
    <title>🔌 Soundcloud streaming</title>
    <p>Enables playback of soundcloud.com links, which are only used
    in the <link xref="channel_reddit">📻 Reddit</link> plugin currently.
    Homepage links are transformed into direct MP3 streaming addresses
    on playback.</p>
    <note><p>Depends on python-soundcloud, which you can install per
    <cmd>pip install soundcloud</cmd>.</p></note>
    <p> Alternatively you could configure an external player like <link
    href="http://github.com/rekado/soundCLI">soundcli</link> of course.
    Use the pseudo type "audio/soundcloud" for the player settings table.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <title><p>dev_faulthandler</p></title>
    <title>🔌 dev_faulthandler</title>
    <p>This is a pure development plugin, meant to debug ST2 crashes.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <title><p>bookmarks_show_extra</p></title>
    <title>🔌 bookmarks_show_extra</title>
    <p>Is a slim UI adaption to show the `extra` field in the bookmarks
    channel. This field can contain user comments, but is used per default
    to store the originating channel in.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <title><p>new_station</p></title>
    <title>🔌 new_station</title>
    <p>Currently not working. Small plugin to provide an "Add station..."
    menu entry. Note that ST2 is not meant as playlist manager, which is
    why this isn't a built-in feature. However, it's oft-requested anyway.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <title><p>tmp_clean_multiurl</p></title>
    <title>🔌 tmp_clean_multiurl</title>
    <p>Strips extra space-separate URLs from station list. (Currently only
    required for RadioSure channel. Later ST2 versions will likely support
    required for 📻 RadioSure channel. Later ST2 versions will likely support
    such entries per default again).</p>
