Player config

See also Configuration Apps(doc/trunk/help/html/config_apps.html).

The config dialog for player settings allows to associate different media playback apps for different audio streams.

• In practice you may want to define the same application for both.

• You can edit out all but the "audio/*" fallback entry.

• Note that you have to specify an actual player (audacious, vlc, exaile, mplayer, totem). Playlist manager apps (banshee, rythmbox, gmusicbrowser, streamtuner2 itself) will not work.

After changing an application name, a green indicator should appear.

placeholders

Various placeholders can be specified after the command:

%m3u	Locally (downloaded/converted) .m3u file
%f	aliases to %m3u
%g
%m
%pls	Link to on-server .pls stream list (default, works with most players, and is often faster as ST2 does not need to convert the playlist)
%url
%u	Aliases for %pls and %url
%r
%l
%srv	Extracted direct link to streaming server (e.g. http://example.com/stream:25078)
%d	Aliases for %srv
%s
%xspf	Xiph shareable playlist format (for newer apps)
%x	Alias for %xspf
%jspf	Not widely supported
%smil	Not widely supported
%asx	Outdated format

If no placeholder is specified in the configuration a default %m3u is appended.

shell syntax

The commands are mostly free-form. You can use various shell idioms. For example `pkill vlc ; vlc %url` to only have one running instance of players that would otherwise run in parallel (VLC also has an option for that, which would apply globally then).
