18.SH NAME
19pkgconfdir/config - DisOrder jukebox configuration
20.SH DESCRIPTION
21The purpose of DisOrder is to organize and play digital audio files, under the
22control of multiple users.
23\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file; the web interface
24uses a number of others (see \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8)).
25.SS Tracks
26DisOrder can be configured with multiple collections of tracks, indexing them
27by their filename, and picking players on the basis of filename patterns (for
28instance, "*.mp3").
29.PP
30Although the model is of filenames, it is not inherent that there are
31corresponding real files - merely that they can be interpreted by the chosen
32player.
33See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this.
34.PP
35Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it.
36These are simple key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you
37like, but a number of keys have specific meanings.
38See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more details about these.
39.SS "Track Names"
40Track names are derived from filenames under the control of regular
41expressions, rather than attempting to interpret format-specific embedded name
42information.
43They can be overridden by setting preferences.
44.PP
45Names for display are distinguished from names for sorting, so with the right
46underlying filenames an album can be displayed in its original order even if
47the displayed track titles are not lexically sorted.
48.SS "Server State"
49A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether
50random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc.
51See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more information.
52.SS "Users And Access Control"
53DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
54This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
55views of the world: i.e. preferences and so on are global.
56.PP
57Each user has an associated set of rights which contorl which commands they may
58execute.
59Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
60cooperate (they are after all presumed to be in a shared sound environment).
61.PP
62The full set of rights are:
63.TP
64.B read
65User can perform read-only operations
66.TP
67.B play
68User can add tracks to the queue
69.TP
70.B "move any"
71User can move any track
72.TP
73.B "move mine"
74User can move their own tracks
75.TP
76.B "move random"
77User can move randomly chosen tracks
78.TP
79.B "remove any"
80User can remove any track
81.TP
82.B "remove mine"
83User can remove their own tracks
84.TP
85.B "remove random"
86User can remove randomly chosen tracks
87.TP
88.B "scratch any"
89User can scratch any track
90.TP
91.B "scratch mine"
92User can scratch their own tracks
93.TP
94.B "scratch random"
95User can scratch randomly chosen tracks
96.TP
97.B volume
98User can change the volume
99.TP
100.B admin
101User can perform admin operations
102.TP
103.B rescan
104User can initiate a rescan
105.TP
106.B register
107User can register new users.
108Normally only the
109.B guest
110user would have this right.
111.TP
112.B userinfo
113User can edit their own userinfo
114.TP
115.B prefs
116User can modify track preferences
117.TP
118.B "global prefs"
119User can modify global preferences
120.TP
121.B pause
122User can pause/resume
123.PP
124Access control is entirely used-based.
125If you configure DisOrder to listen for TCP/IP connections then it will
126accept a connection from anywhere provided the right password is
127available.
128Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP connections in clear,
129but everything else is.
130The expected model is that host-based access control is imposed at
131the network layer.
132.SS "Web Interface"
133The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
134kind of page, and a collection of option files.
135These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
136.PP
137See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
138.SS "Searching And Tags"
139Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces.
140A search term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
141.PP
142Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
143of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
144.PP
145.nf
146 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
147 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
148 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
149 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
150 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
151 LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
152.fi
153.PP
154The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
155disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
156as internal whitespace.
157.PP
158Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
159the tags are separated by commas.
160Therefore tags may not contain commas.
161.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
162.SS "General Syntax"
163Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
164feed, carriage return, form feed).
165Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
166.PP
167Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
168may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
169quotation marks or apostrophes.
170Inside quoted fields every character stands for itself, except that
171a backslash can only appear as part of one of the following escape sequences:
172.TP
173.B \e\e
174Backslash
175.TP
176.B \e"
177Quotation mark
178.\" "
179.TP
180.B \e'
181Apostrophe
182.TP
183.B \en
184Line feed
185.PP
186No other escape sequences are allowed.
187.PP
188Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
189further fields are parameters.
190Lines with no fields are ignored.
191.PP
192After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
193it re-read it.
194If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will record a log
195message and ignore the new config file.
196(You should fix it before next terminating and restarting the daemon,
197as it cannot start up without a valid config file.)
198.SS "Configuration Files"
199Configuration files are read in the following order:
200.TP
201.I pkgconfdir/config
202.TP
203.I pkgconfdir/config.private
204Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
205Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
206.TP
207.I ~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd
208Per-user client configuration.
209Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
210Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
211.TP
212.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
213Per-user system-controlled client configuration.
214Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
215Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
216.IP
217The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
218\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
219.SS "Global Configuration"
220.TP
221.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
222The home directory for state files.
223Defaults to
224.IR pkgstatedir .
225The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
226.TP
227.B plugins \fIPATH\fR
228Adds a directory to the plugin path.
229(This is also used by the web interface.)
230.IP
231Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after,
232so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is
233guaranteed to take effect.
234.IP
235If
236.B plugins
237is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared.
238.SS "Server Configuration"
239.TP
240.B alias \fIPATTERN\fR
241Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR
242preferences.
243.IP
244Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used
245to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or
246\fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR.
247.IP
248The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the
249second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty.
250.IP
251The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is
252automatically included, but should include the proper extension.
253.IP
254The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR.
255.TP
256.B api \fINAME\fR
257Selects the backend used to play sound and to set the volume.
258The following options are available:
259.RS
260.TP
261.B alsa
262Use the ALSA API.
263This is only available on Linux systems, on which it is the default.
264.TP
265.B coreaudio
266Use Apple Core Audio.
267This only available on OS X systems, on which it is the default.
268.TP
269.B oss
270Use the OSS (/dev/dsp) API.
271Not available on all platforms.
272.TP
273.B command
274Execute a command.
275This is the default if
276.B speaker_command
277is specified, or if no native is available.
278.TP
279.B rtp
280Transmit audio over the network.
281This is the default if \fBbroadcast\fR is specified.
282You can use
283.BR disorder-playrtp (1)
284to receive and play the resulting stream on Linux and OS X.
285.B network
286is a deprecated synonym for this API.
287.RE
288.TP
289.B authorization_algorithm \fIALGORITHM\fR
290Defines the algorithm used to authenticate clients.
291The valid options are sha1 (the default), sha256, sha384 and sha512.
292See
293.BR disorder_protocol (5)
294for more details.
295.TP
296.B broadcast \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
297Transmit sound data to \fIADDRESS\fR using UDP port \fIPORT\fR.
298This implies \fBapi rtp\fR.
299.IP
300See also \fBmulticast_loop\fR and \fBmulticast_ttl\fR.
301.TP
302.B broadcast_from \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
303Sets the (local) source address used by \fBbroadcast\fR.
304.TP
305.B channel \fICHANNEL\fR
306The mixer channel that the volume control should use.
307.IP
308For \fBapi oss\fR the possible values are:
309.RS
310.TP 8
311.B pcm
312Output level for the audio device.
313This is probably what you want and is the default.
314.TP
315.B speaker
316Output level for the PC speaker, if that is connected to the sound card.
317.TP
318.B pcm2
319Output level for alternative codec device.
320.TP
321.B vol
322Master output level.
323The OSS documentation recommends against using this, as it affects all
324output devices.
325.RE
326.IP
327You can also specify channels by number, if you know the right value.
328.IP
329For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the name of the mixer control to use.
330The default is \fBPCM\fR.
331Use \fBamixer scontrols\fR or similar to get a full list.
332.IP
333For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
334.TP
335.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIENCODING\fR \fIROOT\fR
336.TP
337.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIROOT\fR
338.TP
339.B collection \fIROOT\fR
340Define a collection of tracks.
341.IP
342\fIMODULE\fR defines which plugin module should be used for this
343collection.
344Use the supplied \fBfs\fR module for tracks that exist as ordinary
345files in the filesystem.
346If no \fIMODULE\fR is specified then \fBfs\fR is assumed.
347.IP
348\fIENCODING\fR defines the encoding of filenames in this collection.
349For \fBfs\fR this would be the encoding you use for filenames.
350Examples might be \fBiso\-8859\-1\fR or \fButf\-8\fR.
351If no encoding is specified then the current locale's character encoding
352is used.
353.IP
354NB that this default depends on the locale the server runs in, which is not
355necessarily the same as that of ordinary users, depending how the system is
356configured.
357It's best to explicitly specify it to be certain.
358.IP
359\fIROOT\fR is the root in the filesystem of the filenames and is
360passed to the plugin module.
361It must be an absolute path and should not end with a "/".
362.TP
363.B cookie_key_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
364Lifetime of the signing key used in constructing cookies. The default is one
365week.
366.TP
367.B cookie_login_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
368Lifetime of a cookie enforced by the server. When the cookie expires the user
369will have to log in again even if their browser has remembered the cookie that
370long. The default is one day.
371.TP
372.B default_rights \fIRIGHTS\fR
373Defines the set of rights given to new users.
374The argument is a comma-separated list of rights.
375For the possible values see
376.B "Users And Access Control"
377above.
378.IP
379The default is to allow everything except \fBadmin\fR and \fBregister\fR
380(modified in legacy configurations by the obsolete \fBrestrict\fR directive).
381.TP
382.B device \fINAME\fR
383Sound output device.
384.IP
385For \fBapi oss\fR this is the path to the device to use.
386If it is set to \fBdefault\fR then \fI/dev/dsp\fR and \fI/dev/audio\fR
387will be tried.
388.IP
389For \fBapi alsa\fR this is the device name to use.
390.IP
391For \fBapi coreaudio\fR this can be either the UID or the human-readable
392name of the desired device.
393For a list of names, visit System Preferences -> Sound and look at the Type column.
394For example, you might use "Built-in Output" for the built-in speaker
395or "Built-in Line Output" if you have connected external speakers.
396Remember to quote the name.
397.IP
398The default is \fBdefault\fR, which is intended to map to whatever the system's
399default is.
400.TP
401.B gap \fISECONDS\fR
402Specifies the number of seconds to leave between tracks.
403The default is 0.
404.IP
405NB this option currently DOES NOT WORK. If there is genuine demand it might be
406reinstated.
407.TP
408.B history \fIINTEGER\fR
409Specifies the number of recently played tracks to remember (including
410failed tracks and scratches).
411.TP
412.B listen \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR
413Listen for connections on the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port
414specified by \fISERVICE\fR.
415If \fIHOST\fR is omitted then listens on all local addresses.
416.IP
417Normally the server only listens on a UNIX domain socket.
418.TP
419.B lock yes\fR|\fBno
420Determines whether the server locks against concurrent operation.
421Default is \fByes\fR.
422There is no good reason to set this to \fBno\fR and the option will
423probably be removed in a future version.
424.TP
425.B mixer \fIDEVICE\fR
426The mixer device name, if it needs to be specified separately from
427\fBdevice\fR.
428.IP
429For \fBapi oss\fR this should be the path to the mixer device and the default
430is \fI/dev/mixer\fR.
431.IP
432For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the index of the mixer control to use.
433The default is 0.
434.IP
435For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
436.TP
437.B multicast_loop yes\fR|\fBno
438Determines whether multicast packets are loop backed to the sending host.
439The default is \fByes\fR.
440This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBrtp\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR
441is actually a multicast address.
442.TP
443.B multicast_ttl \fIHOPS\fR
444Set the maximum number of hops to send multicast packets.
445This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBrtp\fR and
446\fBbroadcast\fR is actually a multicast address.
447The default is 1.
448.TP
449.B namepart \fIPART\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
450Determines how to extract trackname part \fIPART\fR from a
451track name (with the collection root part removed).
452Used in \fB@recent@\fR, \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@search@\fR.
453.IP
454Track names can be different in different contexts.
455For instance the sort string might include an initial track number,
456but this would be stripped for the display string.
457\fICONTEXT\fR should be a glob pattern matching the
458contexts in which this directive will be used.
459.IP
460Valid contexts are \fBsort\fR and \fBdisplay\fR.
461.IP
462All the \fBnamepart\fR directives are considered in order.
463The first directive for the right part, that matches the desired context,
464and with a \fIREGEXP\fR that
465matches the track is used, and the value chosen is constructed from
466\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
467.IP
468Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
469not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
470that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results.
471.IP
472If you supply no \fBnamepart\fR directives at all then a default set will be
473supplied automatically.
474But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
475The defaults are equivalent to:
476.PP
477.nf
478namepart title "/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display
479namepart title "/([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $1 sort
480namepart album "/([^/]+)/[^/]+$" $1 *
481namepart artist "/([^/]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+$" $1 *
482namepart ext "(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)$" $1 *
483.fi
484.TP
485.B new_bias \fIWEIGHT\fR
486The weight for new tracks.
487The default is 450000, i.e. recently added tracks are a fifty times as likely
488to be picked as normal.
489.TP
490.B new_bias_age \fISECONDS\fR
491The maximum age of tracks that \fBnew_bias\fR applies to, in seconds.
492The default is one week.
493.TP
494.B new_max \fIMAX\fR
495The maximum number of tracks to list when reporting newly noticed tracks.
496The default is 100.
497.TP
498.B nice_rescan \fIPRIORITY\fR
499Set the recan subprocess priority.
500The default is 10.
501.IP
502(Note that higher values mean the process gets less CPU time; UNIX priority
503values are backwards.)
504.TP
505.B nice_server \fIPRIORITY\fR
506Set the server priority.
507This is applied to the server at startup time (and not when you reload
508configuration).
509The server does not use much CPU itself but this value is inherited
510by programs it executes.
511If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
512negative value.
513The default is 0.
514.TP
515.B nice_speaker \fIPRIORITY\fR
516Set the speaker process priority.
517This is applied to the speaker process at startup time (and not when
518you reload the configuration).
519The speaker process is not massively CPU intensive by today's
520standards but depends on reasonably timely scheduling.
521If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
522negative value.
523The default is 0.
524.TP
525.B noticed_history
526The maximum days that a track can survive in the database of newly added
527tracks.
528The default is 31.
529.TP
530.B player \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR [\fIOPTIONS.. [\fB\-\-\fR]] \fIARGS\fR...
531Specifies the player for files matching the glob \fIPATTERN\fR.
532\fIMODULE\fR specifies which plugin module to use.
533.IP
534The following options are supported:
535.RS
536.TP
537.B \-\-wait\-for\-device\fR[\fB=\fIDEVICE\fR]
538Waits (for up to a couple of seconds) for the default, or specified, libao
539device to become openable.
540.TP
541.B \-\-
542Defines the end of the list of options.
543Needed if the first argument to the plugin starts with a "\-".
544.RE
545.IP
546The following are the standard modules:
547.RS
548.TP
549.B exec \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
550The command is executed via \fBexecvp\fR(3), not via the shell.
551The \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the executable if it is not
552an absolute path.
553The command is expected to know how to open its own sound device.
554.TP
555.B execraw \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
556Identical to the \fBexec\fR except that the player is expected to use the
557DisOrder raw player protocol.
558.BR disorder-decode (8)
559can decode several common audio file formats to this format.
560If your favourite format is not supported, but you have a player
561which uses libao, there is also a libao driver which supports this format;
562see below for more information about this.
563.TP
564.B shell \fR[\fISHELL\fR] \fICOMMAND\fR
565The command is executed using the shell.
566If \fISHELL\fR is specified then that is used, otherwise \fBsh\fR will be used.
567In either case the \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the shell
568executable if it is not an absolute path.
569The track name is stored in the environment variable
570\fBTRACK\fR.
571.IP

576If multiple player commands match a track then the first match is used.
577.IP
578For the server to be able to calculate track lengths, there should be a
579.B tracklength
580command corresponding to each
581.B player
582command.
583.IP
584If
585.B player
586is used without arguments, the list of players is cleared.
587.TP
588.B prefsync \fISECONDS\fR
589The interval at which the preferences log file will be synchronised.
590Defaults to 3600, i.e. one hour.
591.TP
592.B queue_pad \fICOUNT\fR
593The target size of the queue.
594If random play is enabled then randomly picked tracks will be added until
595the queue is at least this big.
596The default is 10.
597.TP
598.B reminder_interval \fISECONDS\fR
599The minimum number of seconds that must elapse between password reminders.
600The default is 600, i.e. 10 minutes.
601.TP
602.B remote_userman yes\fR|\fBno
603User management over TCP connection is only allowed if this is set to
604\fByes\fR. By default it is set to \fBno\fR.
605.TP
606.B replay_min \fISECONDS\fR
607The minimum number of seconds that must elapse after a track has been played
608before it can be picked at random. The default is 8 hours. If this is set to
6090 then there is no limit, though current \fBdisorder-choose\fR will not pick
610anything currently listed in the recently-played list.
611.TP
612.B sample_format \fIBITS\fB/\fIRATE\fB/\fICHANNELS
613Describes the sample format expected by the \fBspeaker_command\fR (below).
614The components of the format specification are as follows:
615.RS
616.TP 10
617.I BITS
618The number of bits per sample.
619Optionally, may be suffixed by \fBb\fR or \fBl\fR for big-endian and
620little-endian words.
621If neither is used the native byte order is assumed.
622.TP
623.I RATE
624The number of samples per second.
625.TP
626.I CHANNELS
627The number of channels.
628.PP
629The default is
630.BR 16/44100/2 .
631.PP
632With the
633.B rtp
634backend the sample format is forced to
635.B 16b/44100/2
636and with the
637.B coreaudio
638backend it is forced to
639.BR 16/44100/2 ,
640in both cases regardless of what is specified in the configuration file.
641.RE
642.TP
643.B signal \fINAME\fR
644Defines the signal to be sent to track player process groups when tracks are
645scratched.
646The default is \fBSIGKILL\fR.
647.IP
648Signals are specified by their full C name, i.e. \fBSIGINT\fR and not \fBINT\fR
649or \fBInterrupted\fR or whatever.
650.TP
651.B sox_generation \fB0\fR|\fB1
652Determines whether calls to \fBsox\fR(1) should use \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-x\fR, etc (if
653the generation is 0) or \fB\-\fIbits\fR, \fB\-L\fR etc (if it is 1).
654See the documentation for your installed copy of \fBsox\fR to determine
655which you need.
656The default is set according to the version of sox found when DisOrder was
657built.
658If you run on a system with a different version of sox, you will need to
659set this option.
660.TP
661.B speaker_backend \fINAME
662This is an alias for \fBapi\fR; see above.
663.TP
664.B speaker_command \fICOMMAND
665Causes the speaker subprocess to pipe audio data into shell command
666\fICOMMAND\fR, rather than writing to a local sound card.
667The sample format is determine by
668.B sample_format
669above.
670.IP
671Note that if the sample format is wrong then
672.BR sox (1)
673is invoked to translate it.
674If
675.B sox
676is not installed then this will not work.
677.TP
678.B scratch \fIPATH\fR
679Specifies a scratch.
680When a track is scratched, a scratch track is played at random.
681Scratches are played using the same logic as other tracks.
682.IP
683At least for the time being, path names of scratches must be encoded using
684UTF-8 (which means that ASCII will do).
685.IP
686If \fBscratch\fR is used without arguments then the list of scratches is
687cleared.
688.TP
689.B stopword \fIWORD\fR ...
690Specifies one or more stopwords that should not take part in searches
691over track names.
692.IP
693If \fBstopword\fR is used without arguments then the list of stopwords is
694cleared.
695.IP
696There is a default set of stopwords built in, but this option can be used to
697augment or replace that list.
698.TP
699.B tracklength \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR
700Specifies the module used to calculate the length of files matching
701\fIPATTERN\fR.
702\fIMODULE\fR specifies which plugin module to use.
703.IP
704If \fBtracklength\fR is used without arguments then the list of modules is
705cleared.
706.TP
707.B user \fIUSERNAME\fR
708Specifies the user to run as.
709Only makes sense if invoked as root (or the target user).
710.SS "Client Configuration"
711These options would normally be used in \fI~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd\fR
712or
713\fIpkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME.
714.TP
715.B connect \fIHOST SERVICE\fR
716Connect to the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port specified by
717\fISERVICE\fR.
718.TP
719.B password \fIPASSWORD\fR
720Specify password.
721.TP
722.B username \fIUSERNAME\fR
723Specify username.
724The default is inferred from the current UID.
725.SS "Web Interface Configuration"
726.\" TODO this section is misnamed really...
727.TP
728.B mail_sender \fIADDRESS\fR
729The email address that appears in the From: field of any mail messages sent by
730the web interface.
731This must be set if you have online registration enabled.
732.TP
733.B refresh \fISECONDS\fR
734Specifies the maximum refresh period in seconds.
735Default 15.
736.TP
737.B sendmail \fIPATH\fR
738The path to the Sendmail executable.
739This must support the \fB-bs\fR option (Postfix, Exim and Sendmail should all
740work).
741The default is the sendmail executable found at compile time.
742.TP
743.B short_display \fICHARACTERS\fR
744Defines the maximum number of characters to include in a \fBshort\fR name
745part.
746Default 30.
747.TP
748.B smtp_server \fIHOSTNAME\fR
749The hostname (or address) of the SMTP server to use for sending mail.
750The default is 127.0.0.1.
751If \fBsendmail\fR is set then that is used instead.
752.TP
753.B transform \fITYPE\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
754Determines how names are sorted and displayed in track choice displays.
755.IP
756\fITYPE\fR is the type of transformation; usually \fBtrack\fR or
757\fBdir\fR but you can define your own.
758.IP
759\fICONTEXT\fR is a glob pattern matching the context.
760Standard contexts are \fBsort\fR (which determines how directory names
761are sorted) and \fBdisplay\fR (which determines how they are displayed).
762Again, you can define your own.
763.IP
764All the \fBtransform\fR directives are considered in order.
765If the \fITYPE\fR, \fIREGEXP\fR and the \fICONTEXT\fR match
766then a new track name is constructed from
767\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
768If several match then each is executed in order.
769.IP
770If you supply no \fBtransform\fR directives at all then a default set will be
771supplied automatically.
772But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
773The defaults are:
774.PP
775.nf
776transform track "^.*/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display
777transform track "^.*/([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $1 sort
778transform dir "^.*/([^/]+)$" $1 *
779transform dir "^(the) ([^/]*)" "$2 $1" sort i
780transform dir "[[:punct:]]" "" sort g
781.fi
782.TP
783.B url \fIURL\fR
784Specifies the URL of the web interface.
785This URL will be used in generated web pages.
786The default is inferred at runtime, so this option no
787longer needs to be specified.
788.IP
789This must be the full URL, e.g. \fBhttp://myhost/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR and not
790\fB/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR.
791.SH "GLOBAL PREFERENCES"
792.SH "LIBAO DRIVER"
793.SS "Raw Protocol Players"
794Raw protocol players are expected to use the \fBdisorder\fR libao driver.
795Programs that use libao generally have command line options to select the
796driver and pass options to it.
797.SS "Driver Options"
798The known driver options are:
799.TP
800.B fd
801The file descriptor to write to.
802If this is not specified then the driver looks like the environment
803variable \fBDISORDER_RAW_FD\fR.
804If that is not set then the default is 1 (i.e. standard output).
805.TP
806.B fragile
807If this is set to a nonzero value then the driver will call \fB_exit\fR(2) if a
808write to the output file descriptor fails.
809This is a workaround for buggy players such as \fBogg123\fR that ignore
810write errors.
811.SH "REGEXP SUBSTITUTION RULES"
812Regexps are PCRE regexps, as defined in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3).
813The only option used is \fBPCRE_UTF8\fR.
814Remember that the configuration file syntax means you have to
815escape backslashes and quotes inside quoted strings.
816.PP
817In a \fISUBST\fR string the following sequences are interpreted
818specially:
819.TP
820.B $1 \fR... \fB$9
821These expand to the first to ninth bracketed subexpression.
822.TP
823.B $&
824This expands to the matched part of the subject string.
825.TP
826.B $$
827This expands to a single \fB$\fR symbol.
828.PP
829All other pairs starting with \fB$\fR are undefined (and might be used
830for something else in the future, so don't rely on the current
831behaviour.)
832.PP
833If \fBi\fR is present in \fIREFLAGS\fR then the match is case-independent.
834If \fBg\fR is present then all matches are replaced, otherwise only the first
835match is replaced.
836.SH "TRACK NAME PARTS"
837The traditional track name parts are \fBartist\fR, \fBalbum\fR and \fBtitle\fR,
838with the obvious intended meaning.
839These are controlled by configuration and by \fBtrackname_\fR preferences.
840.PP
841In addition there are two built-in parts, \fBpath\fR which is the whole path
842name and \fBext\fR which is the filename extension, including the initial dot
843(or the empty string if there is not extension).
844.SH "SEE ALSO"
