If no placeholder is specified in the configuration a default %m3u is appended.
If no placeholder is specified in the configuration a default %pls 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).<br><br>
Notes for <b>Windows</b>: Shell commands are invoked using the Windows <i>Start</i> command. If they are targeting a non-GUI-application like streamripper.exe the syntax is:
/D ["][Path-to-streamripper]["] streamripper.exe %srv [parameters for streamripper.exe]
For killing an application (GUI or not) use e.g.
Taskkill.exe /IM streamripper.exe
<h3>Configuration samples for selected Windows players</h3>
While for the common players on Linux no special config options are needed there are differences when using players on the Windows platform. The following table is a non-representative selection of some.
<table>
<tr>
<th>VLC Media Player</th> <th> [Path]\vlc.exe --one-instance </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td><td>You can omit the <I>--one-instance</I> parameter if you set <I>Allow only one instance</I> in the VLC preferences.<br>(Applies likewise to the Linux version of VLC)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Windows Media Player</th> <th> [Path]\wmplayer.exe %asx </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td><td>The <I>Path</I> parameter is usually not needed </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Media Player Classic</th> <th> /D [Path] mpc-hc64.exe<br> /D [Path] mpc-hc.exe </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td><td>In order to reuse any open MP Classic instance set <I>Use the same player for each media file</I> in the player's options. </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>AIMP3</th> <th> [Path]\aimp.exe /ADD_PLAY "%pls"</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td><td>The <I>%pls</I> placeholder must be given enclosed in double quotes.<br> Some stations therefore will not play. </td>
</tr>
