Player config

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).

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 (shoutcast default)	%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 %pls and %url	%s

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).
