<h2>Player config</h2>

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).

<h3>placeholders</h3>

Various placeholders can be specified after the command:

<dl>
  <dt>%m3u
    <dd>Locally (downloaded/converted) .m3u file
  <dt>%f
  <dt>%g
  <dt>%m
    <dd>aliases to %m3u
  </dd>
<hr>
  <dt>%pls
    <dd>Link to on.server .pls stream list (shoutcast default)
  <dt>%url
  <dt>%u
  <dt>%r
  <dt>%l
    <dd>Aliases for %pls and %url
  </dd>
<hr>
  <dt>%srv
    <dd>Extracted direct link to streaming server (e.g.
  <dt>%d
  <dt>%s
    <dd>Aliases for %pls and %url
  </dd>
</dl>

If no placeholder is specified in the configuration a default %m3u is appended.


<h3>shell syntax</h3>

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).
