Wrting a new plugin is often trivial.
Writing a new plugin is often trivial.
Just create a new `channels/name.py` following this structure:

    # title: MyPlugin
    # description: my radio list
    # url: http://www.mymusicstation.com/
    # version: 0.1
    # type: channel

You can access your <kbd>config:</kbd> options per the global `conf.*` dict. Take care to prefer unambigious names like `conf.myplugin_pagesize` etc.

### Attributes

There are a couple of other attributes.

 - **has_search** = False
   This flag documents if live server searches are available. If it's supported, then the `update_streams()` method will can called with `cat=None` and `search="Find me maybe"` set instead; and it's then responsible to do some searching.
 - **has_search** `= False`  
   This flag documents if live server searches are available. If it's supported, then the `update_streams()` method may be called with `cat=None` and `search="Find me maybe"` instead; and it's then responsible to do some searching.

 - **audioformat** = "audio/mpeg"  
 - **audioformat** `= "audio/mpeg"`  
   Sets the default audio stream type for this channel. (Note that each individual stream entry may carry its own `format` attribute, jsut in case.)

 - **listformat** = "pls"  
 - **listformat** `= "pls"`  
   Declares the channel service playlist type. Can be either "pls" or "m3u" or "xspf" if the server is super modern. It's also possible to use "href" here, if 
you can't be sure of audio or playlist format types. And "srv" if the provider has a clean list of direct streaming URLs only.

 - **default** = "Pop"  
   Is obsolete. Used to specify the first shown category. (That was a workaround for initial crude Gtk handling.)

 - **titles =** `dict(listeners=False)`
