21 | .SH NAME | |
22 | pkgconfdir/config - DisOrder jukebox configuration | |
23 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
24 | The purpose of DisOrder is to organize and play digital audio files, under the | |
25 | control of multiple users. \fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary | |
26 | configuration file but this man page currently documents all of its various | |
27 | configuration files. | |
28 | .SS Tracks | |
29 | DisOrder can be configured with multiple collections of tracks, indexing them | |
30 | by their filename, and picking players on the basis of filename patterns (for | |
31 | instance, "*.mp3"). | |
32 | .PP | |
33 | Although the model is of filenames, it is not inherent that there are | |
34 | corresponding real files - merely that they can be interpreted by the chosen | |
35 | player. See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this. | |
36 | .PP | |
37 | Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it. These are simple | |
38 | key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you like, but a number of keys | |
39 | have specific meanings. See \fBdisorder\fR(1) for more details about these. | |
40 | .SS "Track Names" | |
41 | Track names are derived from filenames under the control of regular | |
42 | expressions, rather than attempting to interpret format-specific embedded name | |
43 | information. They can be overridden by setting preferences. | |
44 | .PP | |
45 | Names for display are distinguished from names for sorting, so with the right | |
46 | underlying filenames an album can be displayed in its original order even if | |
47 | the displayed track titles are not lexically sorted. | |
48 | .SS "Server State" | |
49 | A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether | |
50 | random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc. | |
51 | .SS "Users And Access Control" | |
52 | DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users. This is for access control and | |
53 | reporting, not to provide different views of the world: i.e. preferences and so | |
54 | on are global. | |
55 | .PP | |
56 | It's possible to restrict a small number of operations to a specific subset of | |
57 | users. However, it is assumed that every user is supposed to be able to do | |
58 | most operations - since the users are all sharing the same audio environment | |
59 | they are expected to cooperate with each other. | |
60 | .PP | |
61 | Access control is entirely used-based. If you configure DisOrder to listen for | |
62 | TCP/IP connections then it will accept a connection from anywhere provided the | |
63 | right password is available. Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP | |
64 | connections in clear, but everything else is. The expected model is that | |
65 | host-based access control is imposed at the network layer. | |
66 | .SS "Web Interface" | |
67 | The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each | |
68 | kind of page, and a collection of option files. These are split up and | |
69 | separate from the main configuration file to make it more convenient to | |
70 | override specific bits. | |
71 | .PP | |
72 | The web interface connects to the DisOrder server like any other user, though | |
73 | it is given a special privilege to "become" any other user. (Thus, any process | |
74 | with the same UID as the web interface is very powerful as far as DisOrder | |
75 | goes.) | |
76 | .PP | |
77 | Access control to the web interface is (currently) separate from DisOrder's own | |
78 | access control (HTTP authentication is required) but uses the same user | |
79 | namespace. | |
80 | .SH "CONFIGURATION FILE" | |
81 | .SS "General Syntax" | |
82 | Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line | |
83 | feed, carriage return, form feed). Comments are started by the number | |
84 | sign ("#"). | |
85 | .PP | |
86 | Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and | |
87 | may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either | |
88 | quotation marks or apostrophes. Inside quoted fields every character | |
89 | stands for itself, except that a backslash can only appear as part of | |
90 | one of the following escape sequences: | |
91 | .TP | |
92 | .B \e\e | |
93 | Backslash | |
94 | .TP | |
95 | .B \e" | |
96 | Quotation mark | |
97 | .\" " | |
98 | .TP | |
99 | .B \e' | |
100 | Apostrophe | |
101 | .TP | |
102 | .B \en | |
103 | Line feed | |
104 | .PP | |
105 | No other escape sequences are allowed. | |
106 | .PP | |
107 | Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any | |
108 | further fields are parameters. Lines with no fields are ignored. | |
109 | .PP | |
110 | After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make | |
111 | it re-read it. If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will | |
112 | record a log message and ignore the new config file. (You should fix | |
113 | it before next terminating and restarting the daemon, as it cannot | |
114 | start up without a valid config file.) | |
115 | .SS "Global Configuration" | |
116 | .TP | |
117 | .B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR | |
118 | The home directory for state files. Defaults to | |
119 | .IR pkgstatedir . | |
659d87e8 | 120 | The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist. |
460b9539 | 121 | .TP |
0c6bcae0 | 122 | .B plugins \fIPATH\fR |
460b9539 | 123 | Adds a directory to the plugin path. (This is also used by the web |
124 | interface.) | |
125 | .IP | |
126 | Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after, | |
127 | so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is | |
128 | guaranteed to take effect. | |
40c30921 RK |
129 | .IP |
130 | If | |
131 | .B plugins | |
132 | is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared. | |
460b9539 | 133 | .SS "Server Configuration" |
134 | .TP | |
135 | .B alias \fIPATTERN\fR | |
136 | Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR | |
137 | preferences. | |
138 | .IP | |
139 | Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used | |
140 | to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or | |
141 | \fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR. | |
142 | .IP | |
143 | The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the | |
144 | second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty. | |
145 | .IP | |
146 | The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is | |
147 | automatically included, but should include the proper extension. | |
148 | .IP | |
149 | The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR. | |
150 | .TP | |
637fdea3 RK |
151 | .B authorization_algorthm \fIALGORITHM\fR |
152 | Defines the algorithm used to authenticate clients. The valid options | |
153 | are sha1 (the default), sha256, sha384 and sha512. See | |
154 | .BR disorder_protocol (5) | |
155 | for more details. | |
156 | .TP | |
30ad4dab | 157 | .B broadcast \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR |
158 | Transmit sound data to \fIADDRESS\fR using UDP port \fIPORT\fR. This implies | |
29573477 | 159 | \fBspeaker_backend network\fR. |
61941295 RK |
160 | .IP |
161 | See also \fBmulticast_loop\fR and \fBmulticast_ttl\fR. | |
30ad4dab | 162 | .TP |
163 | .B broadcast_from \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR | |
164 | Sets the (local) source address used by \fBbroadcast\fR. | |
165 | .TP | |
460b9539 | 166 | .B channel \fICHANNEL\fR |
167 | The mixer channel that the volume control should use. Valid names depend on | |
168 | your operating system and hardware, but some standard ones that might be useful | |
169 | are: | |
170 | .RS | |
171 | .TP 8 | |
172 | .B pcm | |
173 | Output level for the audio device. This is probably what you want. | |
174 | .TP | |
175 | .B speaker | |
176 | Output level for the PC speaker, if that is connected to the sound card. | |
177 | .TP | |
178 | .B pcm2 | |
179 | Output level for alternative codec device. | |
180 | .TP | |
181 | .B vol | |
182 | Master output level. The OSS documentation recommends against using this, as | |
183 | it affects all output devices. | |
184 | .RE | |
185 | .IP | |
186 | You can also specify channels by number, if you know the right value. | |
187 | .TP | |
188 | .B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIENCODING\fR \fIROOT\fR | |
189 | Define a collection of tracks. | |
190 | .IP | |
191 | \fIMODULE\fR defines which plugin module should be used for this | |
192 | collection. Use the supplied \fBfs\fR module for tracks that exists | |
193 | as ordinary files in the filesystem. | |
194 | .IP | |
195 | \fIENCODING\fR defines the encoding of filenames in this collection. | |
196 | For \fBfs\fR this would be the encoding you use for filenames. | |
197 | Examples might be \fBiso-8859-1\fR or \fButf-8\fR. | |
198 | .IP | |
199 | \fIROOT\fR is the root in the filesystem of the filenames and is | |
200 | passed to the plugin module. | |
201 | .TP | |
202 | .B device \fINAME\fR | |
203 | ALSA device to play raw-format audio. Default is \fBdefault\fR, i.e. to use | |
204 | the whatever the ALSA configured default is. | |
205 | .TP | |
206 | .B gap \fISECONDS\fR | |
207 | Specifies the number of seconds to leave between tracks. The default | |
208 | is 2. | |
209 | .TP | |
210 | .B history \fIINTEGER\fR | |
211 | Specifies the number of recently played tracks to remember (including | |
212 | failed tracks and scratches). | |
213 | .TP | |
214 | .B listen \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR | |
215 | Listen for connections on the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port | |
216 | specified by \fISERVICE\fR. If \fIHOST\fR is omitted then listens on all | |
217 | local addresses. | |
218 | .IP | |
219 | Normally the server only listens on a UNIX domain socket. | |
220 | .TP | |
221 | .B lock yes\fR|\fBno | |
222 | Determines whether the server locks against concurrent operation. Default is | |
223 | \fByes\fR. | |
224 | .TP | |
225 | .B mixer \fIPATH\fR | |
226 | The path to the mixer device, if you want access to the volume control, | |
227 | e.g. \fB/dev/mixer\fR. | |
228 | .TP | |
61941295 RK |
229 | .B multicast_loop yes\fR|\fBno |
230 | Determines whether multicast packets are loop backed to the sending host. The | |
231 | default is \fByes\fR. This only applies if | |
232 | \fBspeaker_backend\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR is actually a | |
233 | multicast address. | |
234 | .TP | |
23205f9c | 235 | .B multicast_ttl \fIHOPS\fR |
61941295 | 236 | Set the maximum number of hops to send multicast packets. This only applies if |
23205f9c RK |
237 | \fBspeaker_backend\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR is actually a |
238 | multicast address. | |
239 | .TP | |
460b9539 | 240 | .B namepart \fIPART\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]] |
241 | Determines how to extract trackname part \fIPART\fR from a | |
242 | track name (with the collection root part removed). | |
243 | Used in \fB@recent@\fR, \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@search@\fR. | |
244 | .IP | |
245 | Track names can be different in different contexts. For instance the sort | |
246 | string might include an initial track number, but this would be stripped for | |
247 | the display string. \fICONTEXT\fR should be a glob pattern matching the | |
248 | contexts in which this directive will be used. | |
249 | .IP | |
250 | Valid contexts are \fBsort\fR and \fBdisplay\fR. | |
251 | .IP | |
252 | All the \fBnamepart\fR directives are considered in order. The | |
253 | first directive for the right part, that matches the desired context, | |
254 | and with a \fIREGEXP\fR that | |
255 | matches the track is used, and the value chosen is constructed from | |
256 | \fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below. | |
257 | .IP | |
258 | Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but | |
259 | not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option | |
260 | that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results. | |
261 | .IP | |
262 | If you supply no \fBnamepart\fR directives at all then a default set will be | |
263 | supplied automatically. But if you supply even one then you must supply all of | |
264 | them. See the example config file for the defaults. | |
265 | .TP | |
266 | .B nice_rescan \fIPRIORITY\fR | |
267 | Set the recan subprocess priority. The default is 10. | |
268 | .IP | |
269 | (Note that higher values mean the process gets less CPU time; UNIX priority | |
04e42396 | 270 | values are backwards.) |
460b9539 | 271 | .TP |
272 | .B nice_server \fIPRIORITY\fR | |
273 | Set the server priority. This is applied to the server at startup time (and | |
274 | not when you reload configuration). The server does not use much CPU itself | |
275 | but this value is inherited by programs it executes. If you have limited CPU | |
276 | then it might help to set this to a small negative value. The default is 0. | |
277 | .TP | |
278 | .B nice_speaker \fIPRIORITY\fR | |
279 | Set the speaker process priority. This is applied to the speaker process at | |
280 | startup time (and not when you reload the configuration). The speaker process | |
281 | is not massively CPU intensive by today's standards but depends on reasonably | |
282 | timely scheduling. If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a | |
283 | small negative value. The default is 0. | |
284 | .TP | |
2a10b70b RK |
285 | .B noticed_history |
286 | The maximum days that a track can survive in the database of newly added | |
287 | tracks. The default is 31. | |
288 | .TP | |
460b9539 | 289 | .B player \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR [\fIOPTIONS.. [\fB--\fR]] \fIARGS\fR... |
290 | Specifies the player for files matching the glob \fIPATTERN\fR. \fIMODULE\fR | |
291 | specifies which plugin module to use. | |
292 | .IP | |
293 | The following options are supported: | |
294 | .RS | |
295 | .TP | |
296 | .B --wait-for-device\fR[\fB=\fIDEVICE\fR] | |
297 | Waits (for up to a couple of seconds) for the default, or specified, libao | |
298 | device to become openable. | |
299 | .TP | |
300 | .B -- | |
301 | Defines the end of the list of options. Needed if the first argument to the | |
302 | plugin starts with a "-". | |
303 | .RE | |
304 | .IP | |
305 | The following are the standard modules: | |
306 | .RS | |
307 | .TP | |
308 | .B exec \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR... | |
309 | The command is executed via \fBexecvp\fR(3), not via the shell. | |
310 | The \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the executable if it is not | |
311 | an absolute path. | |
312 | The command is expected to know how to open its own sound device. | |
313 | .TP | |
314 | .B execraw \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR... | |
315 | Identical to the \fBexec\fR except that the player is expected to use the | |
ce6c36be | 316 | DisOrder raw player protocol. |
317 | .BR disorder-decode (8) | |
318 | can decode several common audio file formats to this format. If your favourite | |
319 | format is not supported, but you have a player which uses libao, there is also | |
320 | a libao driver which supports this format; see below for more information about | |
321 | this. | |
460b9539 | 322 | .TP |
323 | .B shell \fR[\fISHELL\fR] \fICOMMAND\fR | |
324 | The command is executed using the shell. If \fISHELL\fR is specified then that | |
325 | is used, otherwise \fBsh\fR will be used. In either case the \fBPATH\fR | |
326 | environment variable is searched for the shell executable if it is not an | |
327 | absolute path. The track name is stored in the environment variable | |
328 | \fBTRACK\fR. | |
329 | .IP | |
330 | Be careful of the interaction between the configuration file quoting rules and | |
331 | the shell quoting rules. | |
332 | .RE | |
333 | .IP | |
334 | If multiple player commands match a track then the first match is used. | |
62dc3748 RK |
335 | .IP |

346 | .B prefsync \fISECONDS\fR | |
347 | The interval at which the preferences log file will be synchronised. Defaults | |
348 | to 3600, i.e. one hour. | |
349 | .TP | |
459d4402 | 350 | .B queue_pad \fICOUNT\fR |
351 | The target size of the queue. If random play is enabled then randomly picked | |
352 | tracks will be added until the queue is at least this big. | |
353 | .TP | |
62dc3748 RK |
354 | .B restrict \fR[\fBscratch\fR] [\fBremove\fR] [\fBmove\fR] |
355 | Determine which operations are restricted to the submitter of a | |
356 | track. By default, no operations are restricted, i.e. anyone can | |
357 | scratch or remove anything. | |
358 | .IP | |
359 | If \fBrestrict scratch\fR or \fBrestrict remove\fR are set then only the user | |
360 | that submitted a track can scratch or remove it, respectively. | |
361 | .IP | |
362 | If \fBrestrict move\fR is set then only trusted users can move tracks around in | |

502 | \fITYPE\fR is the type of transformation; usually \fBtrack\fR or | |
503 | \fBdir\fR but you can define your own. | |
504 | .IP | |
505 | \fICONTEXT\fR is a glob pattern matching the context. Standard contexts are | |

460b9539 | 603 | .SH "LIBAO DRIVER" |
604 | .SS "Raw Protocol Players" | |
605 | Raw protocol players are expected to use the \fBdisorder\fR libao driver. | |
606 | Programs that use libao generally have command line options to select the | |
607 | driver and pass options to it. | |
608 | .SS "Driver Options" | |
609 | The known driver options are: | |
610 | .TP | |
611 | .B fd | |
612 | The file descriptor to write to. If this is not specified then the driver | |
613 | looks like the environment variable \fBDISORDER_RAW_FD\fR. If that is not set | |
614 | then the default is 1 (i.e. standard output). | |
615 | .TP | |
616 | .B fragile | |
617 | If this is set to a nonzero value then the driver will call \fB_exit\fR(2) if a | |
618 | write to the output file descriptor fails. This is a workaround for buggy | |
619 | players such as \fBogg123\fR that ignore write errors. | |
620 | .SH "WEB TEMPLATES" | |
621 | When \fBdisorder.cgi\fR wants to generate a page for an action it searches the | |
622 | directories specified with \fBtemplates\fR for a matching file. It is | |
623 | suggested that you leave the distributed templates unchanged and put | |
624 | any customisations in an earlier entry in the template path. | |
625 | .PP | |
626 | The supplied templates are: | |
627 | .TP | |

631 | .B choose.html | |

633 | \fBdir\fR argument gives the directory to look in; if it is missing | |
634 | then the root directory is used. | |
635 | .TP | |
636 | .B choosealpha.html | |

647 | .IP | |
648 | If the \fBmgmt\fR CGI argument is set to \fBtrue\fR then we include extra | |
649 | buttons for moving tracks up and down in the queue. There is some logic in | |
650 | \fBdisorder.cgi\fR to ensure that \fBmgmt=true\fR is preserved across refreshes | |
651 | and redirects back into itself, but URLs embedded in web pages must include it | |
652 | explicitly. | |
653 | .TP | |
654 | .B prefs.html | |
655 | Views preferences. If the \fBfile\fR, \fBname\fR and \fBvalue\fR arguments are | |
656 | all set then that preference is modified; if \fBfile\fR and \fBname\fR are set | |
657 | but not \fBvalue\fR then the preference is deleted. | |

679 | Included in the \fB<HEAD>\fR element. | |
680 | .TP | |
681 | .B stylesheet.html | |

683 | CSS or by replacing it all with a \fB<LINK>\fR to an external stylesheet. | |
684 | .PP | |
685 | Templates are ASCII files containing HTML documents, with an expansion | |
686 | syntax to enable data supplied by the implementation to be inserted. | |
687 | .PP | |
688 | If you want to use characters outside the ASCII range, use either the | |
689 | appropriate HTML entity, e.g. \fBé\fR, or an SGML numeric | |
690 | character reference, e.g. \fBý\fR. Use \fB@\fR to insert a | |
691 | literal \fB@\fR without falling foul of the expansion syntax. | |
692 | .SS "Expansion Syntax" | |
693 | Expansions are surrounded by at ("@") symbols take the form of a keyword | |
694 | followed by zero or more arguments. Arguments may either be quoted by curly | |
695 | brackets ("{" and "}") or separated by colons (":"). Both kinds may be mixed | |
696 | in a single expansion, though doing so seems likely to cause confusion. | |
697 | The descriptions below contain suggested forms for each | |
698 | expansion. | |
699 | .PP | |
700 | Leading and trailing whitespace in unquoted arguments is ignored, as is | |
701 | whitespace (including newlines) following a close bracket ("}"). | |
702 | .PP | |
703 | Arguments are recursively expanded before being interpreted, except for | |
704 | \fITEMPLATE\fR arguments. These are expanded (possibly more than once) to | |
705 | produce the final expansion. | |
706 | (More than once means the same argument being expanded more than once | |
707 | for different tracks or whatever, not the result of the first | |
708 | expansion itself being re-expanded.) | |
709 | .PP | |
710 | Strings constructed by expansions (i.e. not literally copied from the template | |
711 | text) are SGML-quoted: any character which does not stand for itself in #PCDATA | |
712 | or a quoted attribute value is replaced by the appropriate numeric character | |
713 | reference. | |
714 | .PP | |
715 | The exception to this is that such strings are \fInot\fR quoted when they are | |
716 | generated in the expansion of a parameter. | |
717 | .PP | |
718 | In the descriptions below, the current track means the one set by | |
719 | \fB@playing@\fR, \fB@recent@\fR or \fB@queue@\fR, not the one that is playing. | |
720 | If none of these expansions are in force then there is no current track. | |
721 | \fIBOOL\fR should always be either \fBtrue\fR or \fBfalse\fR. | |
722 | .SS "Expansions" | |

863 | to \fBfalse\fR. | |
864 | .TP | |
865 | .B @parity@ | |
866 | Expands to \fBeven\fR or \fBodd\fR depending on whether the current track is at | |

888 | Expands \fITEMPLATE\fR using the playing track as the current track. | |
889 | .TP | |
890 | .B @pref{\fITRACK\fB}{\fIKEY\fB}@ | |
891 | Expand to the track preference, or the empty string if it is not set. | |
892 | .TP | |

927 | and | |
928 | .B @file@ | |
929 | within the template will apply to one of the tracks in the group. | |
930 | .IP | |
931 | If \fICONTEXT\fR is specified it should be either \fBsort\fR or \fBdisplay\fR, | |
932 | and determines the context for \fIPART\fR. The default is \fBsort\fR. Usually | |
933 | you want \fBdisplay\fR for everything except the title and \fBsort\fR for the | |
934 | title. If you use \fBsort\fR for artist and album then you are likely to get | |
935 | strange effects. | |
936 | .TP | |
937 | .B @server-version@ | |
938 | Expands to the server's version string. | |
939 | .TP | |
940 | .B @shell{\fICOMMAND\fB}@ | |
941 | Expands to the output of \fICOMMAND\fR executed via the shell. \fBsh\fR is | |

943 | otherwise ignored. | |
944 | .TP | |
945 | .B @state@ | |
946 | In \fB@queue@\fR and \fB@recent@\fR, expands to the state of the current | |
947 | track. Otherwise the empty string. Known states are: | |

990 | .B @thisurl@ | |
991 | Expands to the URL of the current page. Typically used in | |
992 | .B back | |
993 | arguments. If there is a | |
994 | .B nonce | |
995 | argument then it is changed to a fresh value. | |
996 | .TP | |
997 | .B @track@ | |
998 | The current track. | |
999 | .TP | |
1000 | .B @trackstate{\fIPATH\fB}@ | |
1001 | Expands to the current track state: \fBplaying\fR if the track is actually | |
1002 | playing now, \fBqueued\fR if it is queued or the empty string otherwise. | |
1003 | .TP | |
1004 | .B @transform{\fIPATH\fB}{\fITYPE\fB}{\fICONTEXT\fB}@ | |
1005 | Transform a path according to \fBtransform\fR (see above). | |
1006 | \fIPATH\fR should be a raw filename (of a track or directory). | |
1007 | \fITYPE\fR should be the transform type (e.g. \fItrack\fR or \fIdir\fR). | |
1008 | \fICONTEXT\fR should be the context, and can be omitted (the default | |
1009 | is \fBdisplay\fR). | |

1019 | .TP | |
1020 | .B @volume:\fISPEAKER\fB@ | |
40c30921 | 1021 | The volume on the left or right speaker. \fISPEAKER\fR must be \fBleft\fR or |

1023 | .TP | |
1024 | .B @when@ | |
1025 | When the current track was played (or when it is expected to be played, if it | |
1026 | has not been played yet) | |
1027 | .TP | |
1028 | .B @who@ | |
1029 | Who submitted the current track. | |
1030 | .SH "WEB OPTIONS" | |
1031 | This is a file called \fIoptions\fR, searched for in the same manner | |
1032 | as templates. It includes numerous options for the control of the web | |
1033 | interface. The general syntax is the same as the main configuration | |
1034 | file, except that it should be encoded using UTF-8 (though this might | |
1035 | change to the current locale's character encoding; stick to ASCII to | |
1036 | be safe). | |
1037 | .PP | |
1038 | The shipped \fIoptions\fR file includes four standard options files. | |
1039 | In order, they are: | |
1040 | .TP | |
1041 | .I options.labels | |
1042 | The default labels file. You wouldn't normally edit this directly - instead | |
1043 | supply your own commands in \fIoptions.user\fR. Have a look at the shipped | |
1044 | version of the file for documentation of labels used by the standard templates. | |
1045 | .TP | |
1046 | .I options.user | |
1047 | A user options file. Here you should put any overrides for the default | |
1048 | labels and any extra labels required by your modified templates. | |
1049 | .PP | |
1050 | Valid directives are: | |
1051 | .TP | |
1052 | .B columns \fINAME\fR \fIHEADING\fR... | |
1053 | Defines the columns used in \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@recent@\fB. \fINAME\fR | |
1054 | must be either \fBplaying\fR, \fBrecent\fR or \fBsearch\fR. | |
1055 | \fIHEADING\fR... is a list of | |
1056 | heading names. If a column is defined more than once then the last definitions | |
1057 | is used. | |
1058 | .IP | |
1059 | The heading names \fBbutton\fR, \fBlength\fR, \fBwhen\fR and \fBwho\fR | |
1060 | are built in. | |
1061 | .TP | |
1062 | .B include \fIPATH\fR | |
1063 | Includes another file. If \fIPATH\fR starts with a \fB/\fR then it is | |
1064 | taken as is, otherwise it is searched for in the template path. | |
1065 | .TP | |
1066 | .B label \fINAME\fR \fIVALUE\fR | |
1067 | Define a label. If a label is defined more than once then the last definition | |
1068 | is used. | |
1069 | .SS Labels | |
1070 | Some labels are defined inside \fBdisorder.cgi\fR and others by the | |
1071 | default templates. You can define your own labels and use them inside | |
1072 | a template. | |
1073 | .PP | |
1074 | When an undefined label is expanded, if it has a dot in its name then | |
1075 | the part after the final dot is used as its value. Otherwise the | |
1076 | whole name is used as the value. | |
1077 | .PP | |
1078 | Labels are no longer documented here, see the shipped \fIoptions.labels\fR file | |
1079 | instead. | |
1080 | .SH "REGEXP SUBSTITUTION RULES" | |
1081 | Regexps are PCRE regexps, as defined in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3). The | |
1082 | only option used is \fBPCRE_UTF8\fR. Remember that the configuration | |
1083 | file syntax means you have to escape backslashes and quotes inside | |
1084 | quoted strings. | |
1085 | .PP | |
1086 | In a \fISUBST\fR string the following sequences are interpreted | |
1087 | specially: | |
1088 | .TP | |
1089 | .B $1 \fR... \fB$9 | |
1090 | These expand to the first to ninth bracketed subexpression. | |
1091 | .TP | |
1092 | .B $& | |
1093 | This expands to the matched part of the subject string. | |
1094 | .TP | |
1095 | .B $$ | |
1096 | This expands to a single \fB$\fR symbol. | |
1097 | .PP | |
1098 | All other pairs starting with \fB$\fR are undefined (and might be used | |
1099 | for something else in the future, so don't rely on the current | |
1100 | behaviour.) | |
1101 | .PP | |
1102 | If \fBi\fR is present in \fIREFLAGS\fR then the match is case-independent. If | |
1103 | \fBg\fR is present then all matches are replaced, otherwise only the first | |
1104 | match is replaced. | |
1105 | .SH "ACTIONS" | |
1106 | What the web interface actually does is terminated by the \fBaction\fR CGI | |
1107 | argument. The values listed below are supported. | |
1108 | .PP | |
1109 | Except as specified, all actions redirect back to the \fBplaying.html\fR | |
1110 | template unless the \fBback\fR argument is present, in which case the URL it | |
1111 | gives is used instead. | |
1112 | .PP | |
1113 | Redirection to \fBplaying.html\fR preserves \fBmgmt=true\fR if it is present. | |
1114 | .TP 8 | |
1115 | .B "move" | |
1116 | Move track \fBid\fR by offset \fBdelta\fR. | |
1117 | .TP | |
1118 | .B "play" | |
1119 | Play track \fBfile\fR, or if that is missing then play all the tracks in | |
1120 | \fBdirectory\fR. | |
1121 | .TP | |
1122 | .B "playing" | |
1123 | Don't change any state, but instead compute a suitable refresh time and include | |
1124 | that in an HTTP header. Expands the \fBplaying.html\fR template rather than | |
1125 | redirecting. | |
1126 | .IP | |
1127 | This is the default if \fBaction\fR is missing. | |
1128 | .TP | |
1129 | .B "random-disable" | |
1130 | Disables random play. | |
1131 | .TP | |
1132 | .B "random-enable" | |
1133 | Enables random play. | |
1134 | .TP | |
1135 | .B "disable" | |
1136 | Disables play completely. | |
1137 | .TP | |
1138 | .B "enable" | |
1139 | Enables play. | |
1140 | .TP | |
1141 | .B "pause" | |
1142 | Pauses the current track. | |
1143 | .TP | |
1144 | .B "remove" | |
1145 | Remove track \fBid\fR. | |
1146 | .TP | |
1147 | .B "resume" | |
1148 | Resumes play after a pause. | |
1149 | .TP | |
1150 | .B "scratch" | |
1151 | Scratch the playing track. If \fBid\fR is present it must match the playing | |
1152 | track. | |
1153 | .TP | |
1154 | .B "volume" | |
1155 | Change the volume by \fBdelta\fR, or if that is missing then set it to the | |
1156 | values of \fBleft\fR and \fBright\fR. Expands to the \fBvolume.html\fR template | |
1157 | rather than redirecting. | |
1158 | .TP | |
1159 | .B "prefs" | |
1160 | Adjust preferences from the \fBprefs.html\fR template (which it then expands | |
1161 | rather than redirecting). | |
1162 | .IP | |
1163 | If | |
1164 | .B parts | |
1165 | is set then the cooked interface is assumed. The value of | |
1166 | .B parts | |
1167 | is used to determine which trackname preferences are set. By default the | |
1168 | .B display | |
1169 | context is adjusted but this can be overridden with the | |
1170 | .B context | |
1171 | argument. Also the | |
1172 | .B random | |
1173 | argument is checked; if it is set then random play is enabled for that track, | |
1174 | otherwise it is disabled. | |
1175 | .IP | |
1176 | Otherwise if the | |
1177 | .B name | |
1178 | and | |
1179 | .B value | |
1180 | arguments are set then they are used to set a single preference. | |
1181 | .IP | |
1182 | Otherwise if just the | |
1183 | .B name | |
1184 | argument is set then that preference is deleted. | |
1185 | .IP | |
1186 | It is recommended that links to the \fBprefs\fR action use \fB@resolve@\fR to | |
1187 | enure that the real track name is always used. Otherwise if the preferences | |
1188 | page is used to adjust a trackname_ preference, the alias may change, leading | |
1189 | to the URL going stale. | |
1190 | .TP | |
1191 | .B "error" | |
1192 | This action is generated automatically when an error occurs connecting to the | |
1193 | server. The \fBerror\fR label is set to an indication of what the error is. | |
1194 | .SH "TRACK NAME PARTS" | |
1195 | The traditional track name parts are \fBartist\fR, \fBalbum\fR and \fBtitle\fR, | |
1196 | with the obvious intended meaning. These are controlled by configuration and | |
1197 | by \fBtrackname_\fR preferences. | |
1198 | .PP | |
1199 | In addition there are two built-in parts, \fBpath\fR which is the whole path | |
1200 | name and \fBext\fR which is the filename extension, including the initial dot | |
