<p class="p">Streamtuner2 is a graphical tool. But it also has a limited commandline interface,
	which can be used to query station information. This is useful for interfacing with
	other applications.</p>
<p class="p">Open a terminal and call <span class="code">streamtuner2 help</span> to get an overview over
	available commands.</p>

<dt class="terms"><span class="code">streamtuner2 play "station"</span></dt>
<dd class="terms"><p class="p">This command looks through all channel plugins, and finds a station containing the
	    mentioned title. You must put the station title in quotes in shell calls, if it contains
	    e.g. spaces. You can optionally specify a channelname before the station title.</p></dd>
<dt class="terms"><span class="code">streamtuner2 url [channel] "station"</span></dt>
<dd class="terms"><p class="p">Just looks up the streaming URL for a given station. If no channel name is given,
		ST2 searches through all available channel plugins again.</p></dd>
<dt class="terms"><span class="code">streamtuner2 stream shoutcast "station"</span></dt>
<dd class="terms"><p class="p">Prints available station data as JSON</p></dd>
<dt class="terms"><span class="code">streamtuner2 category internet_radio_org_uk "Pop"</span></dt>
<dd class="terms"><p class="p">Loads fresh data from the specified channel service, and prints out JSON data for
		the whole category. Note that the category name must have the excact case.</p></dd>
<dt class="terms"><span class="code">streamtuner2 categories channel</span></dt>
<dd class="terms"><p class="p">Fetches the current list of available categories/genres for a channel service.</p></dd>
</dl></div>
</div></div>
<p class="p">Specifying a channel name is often optional. If you add one, it should be all-lowercase.
	You can also give a list, like "shoutcast,xiph" which would be searched then.</p>
