Player config

See also Configuration Apps.

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:

<style> article .content table { width: 75%; margin: 5pt 15pt; } </style>

%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%asx Outdated format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).
