<h2>Player config</h2>

The config dialog for player settings allows to associate different media playback apps for different audio streams. In reality you only need "audio/mpeg" (MP3) since that is the most common format.

Note that you have to specify an actual player (audacious, vlc, exaile, mplayer, totem) not a library app (banshee, rythmbox, gmusicbrowser, streamtuner2 itself).

<h3>placeholders</h3>

Various placeholders can be specified after the command:

<table>
<tr>
  <th>%m3u</th> <td> Locally (downloaded/converted) .m3u file </td>
  <th>%f</th> <td rowspan=3>  aliases to %m3u </td>
  <th>%g</th>
  <th>%m</th>

  <th>%pls</th> <td rowspan=2>Link to on.server .pls stream list (shoutcast default)</td>
  <th>%url</th>
  <th>%u</th>  <td rowspan=3>Aliases for %pls and %url</td>
  <th>%r</th>
  <th>%l</th>

  <th>%srv</th>  <td>Extracted direct link to streaming server (e.g.
  <th>%d</th>   <td rowspan=2>Aliases for %pls and %url</td>
  <th>%s</th>
</table>

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


<h3>shell syntax</h3>

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).
