  <title>There are a few plugin options for this channel.</title>
  <item>
    <title><code>PyQuery parsing</code></title>
    <p>Uses an XML parser to extract station data from within HTML &lt;tags&gt; of the shoutcast.com site. This is
    slower, but often more reliable than regular expressions, which look for plain text markers.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <title><code>debug output</code></title>
    <p>Prints verbose messages to the console. This option is used while developing extensions for Streamtuner2.</p>
