<h2>Player config</h2>

See also [Configuration Apps](doc/trunk/help/html/config_apps.html).

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 could even 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.
This however does not apply to Windows. The automatic application detection is not supported on this platform.<br><br>
Note also that on <b>Windows</b> any path containing spaces must be enclosed in double quotes (<i>"P:\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"</i>, e.g) (which is of course not an audio player, but can also be configured on this settings page). You may also consider to add any path to your audio/video player application or preferred internet browser to the %Path% environment variable. 


<h3>Placeholders</h3>

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).

Notes for <b>Windows</b>: Shell commands are invoked using the Windows <i>Start</i> command. If they are targeting a non-GUI-application like streamripper.exe the syntax is:

       /D ["][Path-to-streamripper]["] streamripper.exe %srv [parameters for streamripper.exe]

For killing an application (GUI or not) use e.g.

       Taskkill.exe /IM streamripper.exe
