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%asx | Outdated format |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).
