      require scraping listings out. Most channel tabs provide two alternative methods for that.
      The DOM/HTML selection method is sometimes slower, but more reliable. As fallback streamtuner2
      plugins often use a regex to match text. Occassionally the regex method is surprisingly more exact,
      because directory services often use frightful unstructured HTML. If available, both methods
      are tried. You can influence the order with this setting, and thus speed it up.</p>
    </item>

      <title>[<input>250</input>] Limit stream number</title>
      <title>[<input>500</input>] Limit stream number</title>
      <p> Constraints the length of station lists per category.
      The number of stations option is not honored by all channel plugins. Often it's not possible to
      load more or fewer station entries. Some plugins have own settings (in the 'Plugins' section) even.
      For the major plugins this however limits how many scrollable entries appear in the stream lists.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Retain deleted stations</title> <p>When enabled, keeps old station entries when
      updating/reloading a category/genre.  Services often forget stations or throws them out when inavailable.
      With this option enabled, these entries are kept in streamtuner2 as strikethrough entries (often
      at the end of the list).</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Update favouries from freshened URLs</title>
      <p>Streaming URLs in bookmarked stations get renewed on category reloads/updates. This isn't
      very reliable, as often station titles change together with the streaming URLs.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Save station lists after updates</title>
      <p>After reloading (<key>F5</key>) the updated station lists are

      only happens automatically when this option is set.</p>

	<p>Playlist importing also works mostly. Here the action module
