20.SH NAME
21pkgconfdir/config - DisOrder jukebox configuration
22.SH DESCRIPTION
23The purpose of DisOrder is to organize and play digital audio files, under the
24control of multiple users.
25\fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary configuration file but this
26man page currently documents all of its various configuration files.
27.SS Tracks
28DisOrder can be configured with multiple collections of tracks, indexing them
29by their filename, and picking players on the basis of filename patterns (for
30instance, "*.mp3").
31.PP
32Although the model is of filenames, it is not inherent that there are
33corresponding real files - merely that they can be interpreted by the chosen
34player.
35See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this.
36.PP
37Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it.
38These are simple key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you
39like, but a number of keys have specific meanings.
40See \fBdisorder\fR(1) for more details about these.
41.SS "Track Names"
42Track names are derived from filenames under the control of regular
43expressions, rather than attempting to interpret format-specific embedded name
44information.
45They can be overridden by setting preferences.
46.PP
47Names for display are distinguished from names for sorting, so with the right
48underlying filenames an album can be displayed in its original order even if
49the displayed track titles are not lexically sorted.
50.SS "Server State"
51A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether
52random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc.
53.SS "Users And Access Control"
54DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
55This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
56views of the world: i.e. preferences and so on are global.
57.PP
58Each user has an associated set of rights which contorl which commands they may
59execute.
60Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
61cooperate (they are after all presumed to be in a shared sound environment).
62.PP
63The full set of rights are:
64.TP
65.B read
66User can perform read-only operations
67.TP
68.B play
69User can add tracks to the queue
70.TP
71.B "move any"
72User can move any track
73.TP
74.B "move mine"
75User can move their own tracks
76.TP
77.B "move random"
78User can move randomly chosen tracks
79.TP
80.B "remove any"
81User can remove any track
82.TP
83.B "remove mine"
84User can remove their own tracks
85.TP
86.B "remove random"
87User can remove randomly chosen tracks
88.TP
89.B "scratch any"
90User can scratch any track
91.TP
92.B "scratch mine"
93User can scratch their own tracks
94.TP
95.B "scratch random"
96User can scratch randomly chosen tracks
97.TP
98.B volume
99User can change the volume
100.TP
101.B admin
102User can perform admin operations
103.TP
104.B rescan
105User can initiate a rescan
106.TP
107.B register
108User can register new users.
109Normally only the
110.B guest
111user would have this right.
112.TP
113.B userinfo
114User can edit their own userinfo
115.TP
116.B prefs
117User can modify track preferences
118.TP
119.B "global prefs"
120User can modify global preferences
121.TP
122.B pause
123User can pause/resume
124.PP
125Access control is entirely used-based.
126If you configure DisOrder to listen for TCP/IP connections then it will
127accept a connection from anywhere provided the right password is
128available.
129Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP connections in clear,
130but everything else is.
131The expected model is that host-based access control is imposed at
132the network layer.
133.SS "Web Interface"
134The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
135kind of page, and a collection of option files.
136These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
137make it more convenient to override specific bits.
138.PP
139The web interface connects to the DisOrder server like any other user, though
140it is given a special privilege to "become" any other user.
141(Thus, any process with the same UID as the web interface is very
142powerful as far as DisOrder goes.
143This model will be changed in a future version.)
144.PP
145Access control to the web interface is (currently) separate from DisOrder's own
146access control (HTTP authentication is required) but uses the same user
147namespace.
148.PP
149See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
150.SS "Searching And Tags"
151Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces.
152A search term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
153.PP
154Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
155of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
156.PP
157.nf
158 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
159 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
160 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
161 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
162 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
163 LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
164.fi
165.PP
166The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
167disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
168as internal whitespace.
169.PP
170Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
171the tags are separated by commas.
172Therefore tags may not contain commas.
173.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
174.SS "General Syntax"
175Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
176feed, carriage return, form feed).
177Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
178.PP
179Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
180may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
181quotation marks or apostrophes.
182Inside quoted fields every character stands for itself, except that
183a backslash can only appear as part of one of the following escape sequences:
184.TP
185.B \e\e
186Backslash
187.TP
188.B \e"
189Quotation mark
190.\" "
191.TP
192.B \e'
193Apostrophe
194.TP
195.B \en
196Line feed
197.PP
198No other escape sequences are allowed.
199.PP
200Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
201further fields are parameters.
202Lines with no fields are ignored.
203.PP
204After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
205it re-read it.
206If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will record a log
207message and ignore the new config file.
208(You should fix it before next terminating and restarting the daemon,
209as it cannot start up without a valid config file.)
210.SS "Configuration Files"
211Configuration files are read in the following order:
212.TP
213.I pkgconfdir/config
214.TP
215.I pkgconfdir/config.private
216Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
217Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
218.TP
219.I ~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd
220Per-user client configuration.
221Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
222Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
223.TP
224.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
225Per-user system-controlled client configuration.
226Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
227Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
228.IP
229The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
230\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
231.SS "Global Configuration"
232.TP
233.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
234The home directory for state files.
235Defaults to
236.IR pkgstatedir .
237The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
238.TP
239.B plugins \fIPATH\fR
240Adds a directory to the plugin path.
241(This is also used by the web interface.)
242.IP
243Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after,
244so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is
245guaranteed to take effect.
246.IP
247If
248.B plugins
249is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared.
250.SS "Server Configuration"
251.TP
252.B alias \fIPATTERN\fR
253Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR
254preferences.
255.IP
256Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used
257to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or
258\fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR.
259.IP
260The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the
261second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty.
262.IP
263The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is
264automatically included, but should include the proper extension.
265.IP
266The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR.
267.TP
268.B api \fINAME\fR
269Selects the backend used to play sound and to set the volume.
270The following options are available:
271.RS
272.TP
273.B alsa
274Use the ALSA API.
275This is only available on Linux systems, on which it is the default.
276.TP
277.B coreaudio
278Use Apple Core Audio.
279This only available on OS X systems, on which it is the default.
280.TP
281.B oss
282Use the OSS (/dev/dsp) API.
283Not available on all platforms.
284.TP
285.B command
286Execute a command.
287This is the default if
288.B speaker_command
289is specified, or if no native is available.
290.TP
291.B network
292Transmit audio over the network.
293This is the default if \fBbroadcast\fR is specified.
294You can use
295.BR disorder-playrtp (1)
296to receive and play the resulting stream on Linux and OS X.
297.RE
298.TP
299.B authorization_algorithm \fIALGORITHM\fR
300Defines the algorithm used to authenticate clients.
301The valid options are sha1 (the default), sha256, sha384 and sha512.
302See
303.BR disorder_protocol (5)
304for more details.
305.TP
306.B broadcast \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
307Transmit sound data to \fIADDRESS\fR using UDP port \fIPORT\fR.
308This implies \fBapi network\fR.
309.IP
310See also \fBmulticast_loop\fR and \fBmulticast_ttl\fR.
311.TP
312.B broadcast_from \fIADDRESS\fR \fIPORT\fR
313Sets the (local) source address used by \fBbroadcast\fR.
314.TP
315.B channel \fICHANNEL\fR
316The mixer channel that the volume control should use.
317.IP
318For \fBapi oss\fR the possible values are:
319.RS
320.TP 8
321.B pcm
322Output level for the audio device.
323This is probably what you want and is the default.
324.TP
325.B speaker
326Output level for the PC speaker, if that is connected to the sound card.
327.TP
328.B pcm2
329Output level for alternative codec device.
330.TP
331.B vol
332Master output level.
333The OSS documentation recommends against using this, as it affects all
334output devices.
335.RE
336.IP
337You can also specify channels by number, if you know the right value.
338.IP
339For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the name of the mixer control to use.
340The default is \fBPCM\fR.
341Use \fBamixer scontrols\fR or similar to get a full list.
342.IP
343For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
344.TP
345.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIENCODING\fR \fIROOT\fR
346.TP
347.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIROOT\fR
348.TP
349.B collection \fIROOT\fR
350Define a collection of tracks.
351.IP
352\fIMODULE\fR defines which plugin module should be used for this
353collection.
354Use the supplied \fBfs\fR module for tracks that exist as ordinary
355files in the filesystem.
356If no \fIMODULE\fR is specified then \fBfs\fR is assumed.
357.IP
358\fIENCODING\fR defines the encoding of filenames in this collection.
359For \fBfs\fR this would be the encoding you use for filenames.
360Examples might be \fBiso\-8859\-1\fR or \fButf\-8\fR.
361If no encoding is specified then the current locale's character encoding
362is used.
363.IP
364NB that this default depends on the locale the server runs in, which is not
365necessarily the same as that of ordinary users, depending how the system is
366configured.
367It's best to explicitly specify it to be certain.
368.IP
369\fIROOT\fR is the root in the filesystem of the filenames and is
370passed to the plugin module.
371It must be an absolute path and should not end with a "/".
372.TP
373.B cookie_key_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
374Lifetime of the signing key used in constructing cookies. The default is one
375week.
376.TP
377.B cookie_login_lifetime \fISECONDS\fR
378Lifetime of a cookie enforced by the server. When the cookie expires the user
379will have to log in again even if their browser has remembered the cookie that
380long. The default is one day.
381.TP
382.B default_rights \fIRIGHTS\fR
383Defines the set of rights given to new users.
384The argument is a comma-separated list of rights.
385For the possible values see
386.B "Users And Access Control"
387above.
388.IP
389The default is to allow everything except \fBadmin\fR and \fBregister\fR
390(modified in legacy configurations by the obsolete \fBrestrict\fR directive).
391.TP
392.B device \fINAME\fR
393Sound output device.
394.IP
395For \fBapi oss\fR this is the path to the device to use.
396If it is set to \fBdefault\fR then \fI/dev/dsp\fR and \fI/dev/audio\fR
397will be tried.
398.IP
399For \fBapi alsa\fR this is the device name to use.
400.IP
401For \fBapi coreaudio\fR this is currently ignored.
402.IP
403The default is \fBdefault\fR, which is intended to map to whatever the system's
404default is.
405.TP
406.B gap \fISECONDS\fR
407Specifies the number of seconds to leave between tracks.
408The default is 0.
409.IP
410NB this option currently DOES NOT WORK. If there is genuine demand it might be
411reinstated.
412.TP
413.B history \fIINTEGER\fR
414Specifies the number of recently played tracks to remember (including
415failed tracks and scratches).
416.TP
417.B listen \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR
418Listen for connections on the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port
419specified by \fISERVICE\fR.
420If \fIHOST\fR is omitted then listens on all local addresses.
421.IP
422Normally the server only listens on a UNIX domain socket.
423.TP
424.B lock yes\fR|\fBno
425Determines whether the server locks against concurrent operation.
426Default is \fByes\fR.
427There is no good reason to set this to \fBno\fR and the option will
428probably be removed in a future version.
429.TP
430.B mixer \fIDEVICE\fR
431The mixer device name, if it needs to be specified separately from
432\fBdevice\fR.
433.IP
434For \fBapi oss\fR this should be the path to the mixer device and the default
435is \fI/dev/mixer\fR.
436.IP
437For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the index of the mixer control to use.
438The default is 0.
439.IP
440For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
441.TP
442.B multicast_loop yes\fR|\fBno
443Determines whether multicast packets are loop backed to the sending host.
444The default is \fByes\fR.
445This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR
446is actually a multicast address.
447.TP
448.B multicast_ttl \fIHOPS\fR
449Set the maximum number of hops to send multicast packets.
450This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and
451\fBbroadcast\fR is actually a multicast address.
452The default is 1.
453.TP
454.B namepart \fIPART\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
455Determines how to extract trackname part \fIPART\fR from a
456track name (with the collection root part removed).
457Used in \fB@recent@\fR, \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@search@\fR.
458.IP
459Track names can be different in different contexts.
460For instance the sort string might include an initial track number,
461but this would be stripped for the display string.
462\fICONTEXT\fR should be a glob pattern matching the
463contexts in which this directive will be used.
464.IP
465Valid contexts are \fBsort\fR and \fBdisplay\fR.
466.IP
467All the \fBnamepart\fR directives are considered in order.
468The first directive for the right part, that matches the desired context,
469and with a \fIREGEXP\fR that
470matches the track is used, and the value chosen is constructed from
471\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
472.IP
473Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
474not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
475that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results.
476.IP
477If you supply no \fBnamepart\fR directives at all then a default set will be
478supplied automatically.
479But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
480The defaults are equivalent to:
481.PP
482.nf
483namepart title "/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display
484namepart title "/([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $1 sort
485namepart album "/([^/]+)/[^/]+$" $1 *
486namepart artist "/([^/]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+$" $1 *
487namepart ext "(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)$" $1 *
488.fi
489.TP
490.B new_bias \fIWEIGHT\fR
491The weight for new tracks.
492The default is 900000, i.e. recently added tracks are a hundred times as likely
493to be picked as normal.
494.TP
495.B new_bias_age \fISECONDS\fR
496The maximum age of tracks that \fBnew_bias\fR applies to, in seconds.
497The default is one week.
498.TP
499.B new_max \fIMAX\fR
500The maximum number of tracks to list when reporting newly noticed tracks.
501The default is 100.
502.TP
503.B nice_rescan \fIPRIORITY\fR
504Set the recan subprocess priority.
505The default is 10.
506.IP
507(Note that higher values mean the process gets less CPU time; UNIX priority
508values are backwards.)
509.TP
510.B nice_server \fIPRIORITY\fR
511Set the server priority.
512This is applied to the server at startup time (and not when you reload
513configuration).
514The server does not use much CPU itself but this value is inherited
515by programs it executes.
516If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
517negative value.
518The default is 0.
519.TP
520.B nice_speaker \fIPRIORITY\fR
521Set the speaker process priority.
522This is applied to the speaker process at startup time (and not when
523you reload the configuration).
524The speaker process is not massively CPU intensive by today's
525standards but depends on reasonably timely scheduling.
526If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
527negative value.
528The default is 0.
529.TP
530.B noticed_history
531The maximum days that a track can survive in the database of newly added
532tracks.
533The default is 31.
534.TP
535.B player \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR [\fIOPTIONS.. [\fB\-\-\fR]] \fIARGS\fR...
536Specifies the player for files matching the glob \fIPATTERN\fR.
537\fIMODULE\fR specifies which plugin module to use.
538.IP
539The following options are supported:
540.RS
541.TP
542.B \-\-wait\-for\-device\fR[\fB=\fIDEVICE\fR]
543Waits (for up to a couple of seconds) for the default, or specified, libao
544device to become openable.
545.TP
546.B \-\-
547Defines the end of the list of options.
548Needed if the first argument to the plugin starts with a "\-".
549.RE
550.IP
551The following are the standard modules:
552.RS
553.TP
554.B exec \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
555The command is executed via \fBexecvp\fR(3), not via the shell.
556The \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the executable if it is not
557an absolute path.
558The command is expected to know how to open its own sound device.
559.TP
560.B execraw \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
561Identical to the \fBexec\fR except that the player is expected to use the
562DisOrder raw player protocol.
563.BR disorder-decode (8)
564can decode several common audio file formats to this format.
565If your favourite format is not supported, but you have a player
566which uses libao, there is also a libao driver which supports this format;
567see below for more information about this.
568.TP
569.B shell \fR[\fISHELL\fR] \fICOMMAND\fR
570The command is executed using the shell.
571If \fISHELL\fR is specified then that is used, otherwise \fBsh\fR will be used.

583For the server to be able to calculate track lengths, there should be a
584.B tracklength
585command corresponding to each
586.B player
587command.

610.TP
611.B replay_min \fISECONDS\fR
612The minimum number of seconds that must elapse after a track has been played
613before it can be picked at random. The default is 8 hours. If this is set to
6140 then there is no limit, though current \fBdisorder-choose\fR will not pick
615anything currently listed in the recently-played list.
616.TP
617.B sample_format \fIBITS\fB/\fIRATE\fB/\fICHANNELS
618Describes the sample format expected by the \fBspeaker_command\fR (below).
619The components of the format specification are as follows:
620.RS
621.TP 10
622.I BITS
623The number of bits per sample.
624Optionally, may be suffixed by \fBb\fR or \fBl\fR for big-endian and

627.TP
628.I RATE
629The number of samples per second.
630.TP
631.I CHANNELS
632The number of channels.
633.PP
634The default is
635.BR 16/44100/2 .
636.PP
637With the

644.BR 16/44100/2 ,
645in both cases regardless of what is specified in the configuration file.
646.RE
647.TP
648.B signal \fINAME\fR
649Defines the signal to be sent to track player process groups when tracks are
650scratched.
651The default is \fBSIGKILL\fR.
652.IP
653Signals are specified by their full C name, i.e. \fBSIGINT\fR and not \fBINT\fR
654or \fBInterrupted\fR or whatever.
655.TP
656.B sox_generation \fB0\fR|\fB1
657Determines whether calls to \fBsox\fR(1) should use \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-x\fR, etc (if
658the generation is 0) or \fB\-\fIbits\fR, \fB\-L\fR etc (if it is 1).
659See the documentation for your installed copy of \fBsox\fR to determine
660which you need.
661The default is 0.
662.TP
663.B speaker_backend \fINAME
664This is an alias for \fBapi\fR; see above.
665.TP
666.B speaker_command \fICOMMAND
667Causes the speaker subprocess to pipe audio data into shell command
668\fICOMMAND\fR, rather than writing to a local sound card.
669The sample format is determine by
670.B sample_format
671above.
672.IP
673Note that if the sample format is wrong then
674.BR sox (1)

676If
677.B sox
678is not installed then this will not work.
679.TP
680.B scratch \fIPATH\fR
681Specifies a scratch.
682When a track is scratched, a scratch track is played at random.
683Scratches are played using the same logic as other tracks.
684.IP
685At least for the time being, path names of scratches must be encoded using
686UTF-8 (which means that ASCII will do).
687.IP
688If \fBscratch\fR is used without arguments then the list of scratches is
689cleared.
690.TP
691.B stopword \fIWORD\fR ...
692Specifies one or more stopwords that should not take part in searches
693over track names.
694.IP
695If \fBstopword\fR is used without arguments then the list of stopwords is
696cleared.
697.IP
698There is a default set of stopwords built in, but this option can be used to
699augment or replace that list.
700.TP
701.B tracklength \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR
702Specifies the module used to calculate the length of files matching
703\fIPATTERN\fR.
704\fIMODULE\fR specifies which plugin module to use.
705.IP
706If \fBtracklength\fR is used without arguments then the list of modules is
707cleared.
708.TP
709.B user \fIUSERNAME\fR

737.B templates \fIPATH\fR ...
738Specifies the directory containing templates used by the web
739interface.
740If a template appears in more than one template directory
741then the one in the earliest directory specified is chosen.
742.IP
743See below for further details.

745If \fBtemplates\fR is used without arguments then the template path is cleared.
746.TP
747.B transform \fITYPE\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
748Determines how names are sorted and displayed in track choice displays.
749.IP
750\fITYPE\fR is the type of transformation; usually \fBtrack\fR or
751\fBdir\fR but you can define your own.
752.IP
753\fICONTEXT\fR is a glob pattern matching the context.
754Standard contexts are \fBsort\fR (which determines how directory names
755are sorted) and \fBdisplay\fR (which determines how they are displayed).
756Again, you can define your own.
757.IP
758All the \fBtransform\fR directives are considered in order.
759If the \fITYPE\fR, \fIREGEXP\fR and the \fICONTEXT\fR match
760then a new track name is constructed from
761\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
762If several match then each is executed in order.
763.IP
764If you supply no \fBtransform\fR directives at all then a default set will be
765supplied automatically.
766But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
767The defaults are:
768.PP
769.nf
770transform track "^.*/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display

774transform dir "[[:punct:]]" "" sort g
775.fi
776.TP
777.B url \fIURL\fR
778Specifies the URL of the web interface.
779This URL will be used in generated web pages.
780The default is inferred at runtime, so this option no
781longer needs to be specified.
782.IP
783This must be the full URL, e.g. \fBhttp://myhost/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR and not
784\fB/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR.
785.SS "Authentication Configuration"
786These options would normally be used in \fI~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd\fR
787or
788\fIpkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME.
789.TP
790.B password \fIPASSWORD\fR
791Specify password.
792.TP
793.B username \fIUSERNAME\fR
794Specify username.
795The default is taken from the environment variable \fBLOGNAME\fR.
796.SH "GLOBAL PREFERENCES"
797These are the values set with \fBset\-global\fR.
798.TP
799.B required\-tags
800If this is set an nonempty then randomly played tracks will always have at
801least one of the listed tags.
802.TP
803.B prohibited\-tags
804If this is set an nonempty then randomly played tracks will never have any of
805the listed tags.
806.TP
807.B playing

809Otherwise it is disabled.
810Use \fBdisable\fR rather than setting it directly.
811.TP
812.B random\-play
813If unset or \fByes\fR then random play is enabled.
814Otherwise it is disabled.
815Use \fBdisable\fR rather than setting it directly.
816.PP
817Global preferences starting '_' are read-only (in the sense that you cannot
818modify them; the server may modify them as part of its normal operation).
819They are:
820.TP
821.B _dbversion
822The database version string.
823This is used by DisOrder to detect when it must
824modify the database after an upgrade.
825.SH "LIBAO DRIVER"
826.SS "Raw Protocol Players"
827Raw protocol players are expected to use the \fBdisorder\fR libao driver.
828Programs that use libao generally have command line options to select the
829driver and pass options to it.
830.SS "Driver Options"
831The known driver options are:
832.TP
833.B fd
834The file descriptor to write to.
835If this is not specified then the driver looks like the environment
836variable \fBDISORDER_RAW_FD\fR.
837If that is not set then the default is 1 (i.e. standard output).
838.TP
839.B fragile
840If this is set to a nonzero value then the driver will call \fB_exit\fR(2) if a
841write to the output file descriptor fails.
842This is a workaround for buggy players such as \fBogg123\fR that ignore
843write errors.
844.SH "REGEXP SUBSTITUTION RULES"
845Regexps are PCRE regexps, as defined in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3).
846The only option used is \fBPCRE_UTF8\fR.
847Remember that the configuration file syntax means you have to
848escape backslashes and quotes inside quoted strings.
849.PP
850In a \fISUBST\fR string the following sequences are interpreted
851specially:
852.TP
853.B $1 \fR... \fB$9
854These expand to the first to ninth bracketed subexpression.
855.TP
856.B $&
857This expands to the matched part of the subject string.
858.TP
859.B $$
860This expands to a single \fB$\fR symbol.
861.PP
862All other pairs starting with \fB$\fR are undefined (and might be used
863for something else in the future, so don't rely on the current
864behaviour.)
865.PP
866If \fBi\fR is present in \fIREFLAGS\fR then the match is case-independent.
867If \fBg\fR is present then all matches are replaced, otherwise only the first
868match is replaced.
869.SH "TRACK NAME PARTS"
870The traditional track name parts are \fBartist\fR, \fBalbum\fR and \fBtitle\fR,
871with the obvious intended meaning.
872These are controlled by configuration and by \fBtrackname_\fR preferences.
873.PP
874In addition there are two built-in parts, \fBpath\fR which is the whole path
875name and \fBext\fR which is the filename extension, including the initial dot
876(or the empty string if there is not extension).
