    <title>System</title>
    <item>
      <title>Temporary files</title>
      <p>Streamtuner2 creates temporary .m3u files - for audio players that are configured to use %m3u files
      instead of %pls or %srv URLs. For archival purposes you might want to set a dedicated directory
      for this. In recent versions streamtuner2 will create a <file>/tmp/streamtuner2</file> directory
      for itself. (You cannot set just `/tmp` anymore, because that will be mapped to the longer name.
      You can trick the old behaviour with `/tmp/.` however. Don't do that unless you have a reason).</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Reuse .m3u/.pls files</title>
      <p>When converting online station playlists, streamtuner2 creates temporary files like
      <var>shoutcast.11539398391891.m3u</var> for your audio player. It'll keep those
      files around until you quit streamtuner2. That speeds up switching between and reconnecting to 
      a previous station. It's in particular necessary when you use <key>⏭</key> or <key>⏪</key>
      directly in your player. For <var>%pls</var> references your player typically usues the online-only
      playlist files anyway. If you disable this option, then converted pls/m3u/xspf files get recreated
      repeatedly.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Config directory</title>
      <p>Is where streamtuner2 keeps its <file>settings.json</file> and channel caches, favicons, etc.
      You can't set this in the config dialog. This is just for display. Set the <sys>XDG_CONFIG_HOME</sys>
      environment variable to adapt.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Enable debug messages</title>
      <p>If you start streamtuner2 from a terminal window (xterm/rxvt), you can get a load of state
      and processing or debug infos. Enable this only for testing, as it might slow down station
      rendering.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Disable threading</title>
      <p>Now "threading" is a somewhat technical term. It means that an
      application runs different tasks internally at the same time. It's
      used for snappier interfaces. However, it's also difficult to get
      right at times. In Streamtuner2 some concurrent tasks conflict with
      updating the Gtk3 user interface. Which is why the application may
      crash even on reloading station lists or when switching between
      categories too quickly. This is only an issue for Python3 on Gtk3 with
      streamtuner2. In such cases you can disable the concurrent-tasking
      mode. The GUI will appear slower at times, and freeze between fetching
      lists, but remains stable on the upside. There's also a command line
      flag <cmd>--nt</cmd> to enable this workaround.</p>
    </item>

<section id="plugins">
    <title>Channel and feature plugins and settings</title>

    <p>The tabs <key>Channels</key> lists all available directory services.
    While the <key>Features</key> group provides internal or menu enhancements.
    Disabling or enabling a plugin however requires a restart of Streamtuner2
    to take effect.</p>
    
    
    <p><media type="image" src="img/configplugins.png" mime="image/png" /></p>

    <p>Each plugin can have its own little list of extra options. They'll be
    applied right away for already active channel/feature plugins.</p>

    <note style="note"><p>If you want to find out more about the short option descriptions (most settings are checkboxes),
    please have a look into the channels directory /usr/share/streamtuner2/channels/ and corresponding
    *.py files. These are somewhat readable even to non-programmers, and sometimes contain more information.</p></note>
