Some channels provide lower-quality audio streams. In particular Xiph lists some awful radio stations. And this plugin helps filtering those out of station lists.
MP3 streams often start to sound okay at 96kbit/s.
Whereas OGG Vorbis or AAC are sometimes acceptable at 64kbit/s already.
Note that you may end up with empty channel lists altogether if you set these options too high. Some channels provide all their streams with 64kbit/s only.
Adds a toolbar entry which shows the current channel/directory service title and its homepage link. Such as:
▶ ● 🏠 Shoutcast
play rcrd hmpg //shoutcast.com/
It depends on the "update window title" option being enabled.
There's an "Export All" plugin available. It adds an entry under
This is of course intended primarily for saving your bookmarks.
And it allows to import radio lists into any other music player or playlist collection/management app (such as Rhythmbox).
You can set the desired playlist format in the file saving dialog that pops up.
This plugin enables an extra category in the
Please see the Wiki for further setup instructions.
This plugin merely masks Streamtuner2 as an ordinary web browser when retrieving station lists.
It's technically unneeded, as ST2 isn't stressful to directory websites and not blocked anywhere.
It's only useful as additional privacy feature really, but shouldn't be used habitually.
Provides the small "history" category in the bookmarks tab. The length of which is configurable (defaults to 20).
Adds a list of weblinks to other online music services in the "links" category within the bookmarks tab.
Overrides the
Common options are conveniently listed and saveable on a per-station basis. Which allows to suppress stream splitting (record just one long MP3 file), or file naming schemes.
Additionally it supports options of following recording backends:
The plugin provides config options of its own, such as a default output directory, or how many / how detailed options to show.
Following plugins are covered more in-depth in the according manual sections:
🔌 Drag and Drop
🔌 Favicons
🔌 Global key shortcut
🔌 Timer
🔌 Specbuttons
The "search", "configwin" and "streamedit" plugins are considered built-ins and cannot be disabled.

Enables playback of soundcloud.com links, which are only used in the 📻 Reddit plugin currently. Homepage links are transformed into direct MP3 streaming addresses on playback.

Alternatively you could configure an external player like soundcli of course. Use the pseudo type "audio/soundcloud" for the player settings table.
This is a pure development plugin, meant to debug ST2 crashes.
Is a slim UI adaption to show the `extra` field in the bookmarks channel. This field can contain user comments, but is used per default to store the originating channel in.
(Still unfinished). Small plugin to provide an "Add station..." menu entry. Note that ST2 is not meant as playlist manager, which is why this isn't a built-in feature. However, it's oft-requested anyway.
Strips extra space-separate URLs from station list. (Currently only required for 📻 RadioSure channel. Later ST2 versions will likely support such entries per default again).
You can set a custom theme for Streamtuner2 using the gtk_theme plugin. It ought to list all available themes for Gtk2 or Gtk3 in the according dropdown box. The "apply instantly" option may help with enabling them right away.
Take note that not all Gtk themes will work, and some might crash streamtuner2.
If you see ST2 hang at startup, then either edit

To install/enable themes just for ST2, you could create a
Adds the toolbar button to stop streamripper/fpls - same as in streamtuner1. Has become kind of redundant due to the newer 🔌 specbuttons plugin.
Introduces three main menu entries:
Saves the streamtuner2.json file verbatim.
While the file dialog incorrectly says and behaves like a file save dialog, it does in fact open and load the JSON file.
The config reset additionally opens the settings window and
requires you to hit
Adds a
Introduces small state icons to make higher-quality Vorbis and Opus stations stand out. (Not all channels provide exact format information, so you'll mostly notice for Jamendo and Xiph.)
Wraps the player/application exec() method. Instead of simple shell execution, uses the Python subprocess module or win32 API functions. This is mostly unneeded on Linux (kills a few features even), but avoids the cmd.exe popup and delay on Windows. Highly experimental at the moment.
