<terms>
<title>It's separated into three main areas.</title>
<item>
<title>Player</title>
<p>Lists audio formats and the audio player applications, or recording tools below.
It's a file type to application table. Double click an entry for editing.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>Options</title>
<p>Influences the display of all stream/station lists, and contains some system settings.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>Channel Plugins</title>
<p>Every channel tab can have specific options. These are configured here.
Also you can disable channels you don't need.</p>
</item>
</terms>
<section id="apps">
<title>Player application settings</title>
<p>MIME types are categorzied identifiers for file types. <var>Audio/mpeg</var> for example represents MP3 files,
and <var>audio/ogg</var> means just OGG. And the player setting dialog simply associates an audio type with a
playback application:</p>
<table shade="rows" rules="rows cols">
<thead> <tr><td><p>Format</p></td> <td><p>Application</p></td></tr> </thead>
<tr><td><p><var>audio/mpeg</var></p></td> <td><p><cmd>audacious</cmd></p></td></tr>
<tr><td><p><var>audio/ogg</var></p></td> <td><p><cmd>audacious</cmd></p></td></tr>
<tr><td><p><var>audio/*</var></p></td> <td><p><cmd>vlc --one-instance</cmd></p></td></tr>
<tr><td><p><var>video/*</var></p></td> <td><p><cmd>totem</cmd></p></td></tr>
<tr><td><p><var>video/youtube</var></p></td> <td><p><cmd>vlc %srv</cmd></p></td></tr>
</table>
<p>Application names are always lowercase binary names. Double click an entry to edit it.</p>
<p>After the application name, you can use a placeholder like "<var>%pls</var>" (default),
or "<var>%m3u</var>" and "<var>%src</var>". See <link xref="config_apps#placeholders">placeholders</link>.</p>
<p>Catch-all entries like <var>*/*</var> or a generic <var>audio/*</var> entry allow to configure a default player.
While <var>video/youtube</var> is specific to the Youtube channel. And <var>url/http</var> a psdeudo MIME type
to configure a web browser (for station homepages).</p>
</section>
<section id="recording">
<title>Recording Apps</title>
<p>The second block of entries in the 'Apps' section specifies recording applications.
Here streamripper is preconfigured for audio streams, and youtube-dl for Youtube videos for instance.</p>
<table shade="rows" rules="rows cols">
<tr><td><p><var>audio/*</var></p></td> <td><p><cmd>xterm -e streamripper %srv</cmd></p></td></tr>
<tr><td><p><var>video/youtube</var></p></td> <td><p><cmd>xterm -e "youtube-dl %srv"</cmd></p></td></tr>
</table>
<p>To define a target directory, you can add commandline arguments to each. Also it's typically
helpful to leave the xterm prefix on, so you can follow the processing state. (Alternatively to
xterm there is x-terminal-emulator, or rxvt, gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, etc.)</p>

<p>Application names are most always lowercase binary names. Double click an entry to edit it.
After editing the icon next to the application name will be updated. If it stays green, it's
likely to work. If it turns red / into a stop symbol, then the entered name is likely incorrect.</p>
<p><media type="image" src="img/configapps.png" mime="image/png" /></p>
<p>After the application name, you can use a placeholder like "<var>%pls</var>" (default),

<p>You can remove default entries by clearing both the Format field and its associated Application.
Add completely new associations through the emtpy line. (Reopen the dialog to add another one.)</p>

<item>
<title>Show bookmark star</title>
<p>Bookmarked stations will be marked with a ★ star in all other station lists / categories.
That doesn't often work for the same station entry from two different channel services / tabs though.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>Gtk+ theme</title>
<p><em style="bug">Be careful</em>. While Gtk allows to select a different theme per application, not all themes
work right away. Switching the theme might hang streamtuner2. Just restart if that happens.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Some channels provide proper APIs to fetch station lists. Others are just websites, that
require scraping listings out. Most channel tabs provide two alternative methods for that.
The DOM/HTML selection method is sometimes more reliable. As fallback streamtuner2 plugins
often use a regex to match text. Occassionally the regex method is actually more reliable,
because directory services often use frightful unstructured HTML. If available, both methods
are tried. You can influence the order with this setting.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>[<input>250</input>] Limit stream number</title>
<p> Constraints the length of station lists per category.
The number of stations setting is not honored by all channel plugins. Often it's not possible to
load more or fewer station entries. Some plugins have own settings (in the 'Plugins' section) even.
For the major plugins this however limits how much scroll text appears in the stream lists.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>Retain deleted stations</title> <p>When enabled, keeps old station entries when
updating/reloading a category/genre. Services often forget stations or throws them out when inavailable.
With this option enabled, these entries are kept in streamtuner2 as strikethrough entries (often
at the end of the list).</p>
