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; the web interface
26uses a number of others (see \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8)).
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_preferences\fR(5) 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.
53See \fBdisorder_preferences\fR(5) for more information.
54.SS "Users And Access Control"
55DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users.
56This is for access control and reporting, not to provide different
57views of the world: i.e. preferences and so on are global.
58.PP
59Each user has an associated set of rights which contorl which commands they may
60execute.
61Normally you would give all users most rights, and expect them to
62cooperate (they are after all presumed to be in a shared sound environment).
63.PP
64The full set of rights are:
65.TP
66.B read
67User can perform read-only operations
68.TP
69.B play
70User can add tracks to the queue
71.TP
72.B "move any"
73User can move any track
74.TP
75.B "move mine"
76User can move their own tracks
77.TP
78.B "move random"
79User can move randomly chosen tracks
80.TP
81.B "remove any"
82User can remove any track
83.TP
84.B "remove mine"
85User can remove their own tracks
86.TP
87.B "remove random"
88User can remove randomly chosen tracks
89.TP
90.B "scratch any"
91User can scratch any track
92.TP
93.B "scratch mine"
94User can scratch their own tracks
95.TP
96.B "scratch random"
97User can scratch randomly chosen tracks
98.TP
99.B volume
100User can change the volume
101.TP
102.B admin
103User can perform admin operations
104.TP
105.B rescan
106User can initiate a rescan
107.TP
108.B register
109User can register new users.
110Normally only the
111.B guest
112user would have this right.
113.TP
114.B userinfo
115User can edit their own userinfo
116.TP
117.B prefs
118User can modify track preferences
119.TP
120.B "global prefs"
121User can modify global preferences
122.TP
123.B pause
124User can pause/resume
125.PP
126Access control is entirely used-based.
127If you configure DisOrder to listen for TCP/IP connections then it will
128accept a connection from anywhere provided the right password is
129available.
130Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP connections in clear,
131but everything else is.
132The expected model is that host-based access control is imposed at
133the network layer.
134.SS "Web Interface"
135The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
136kind of page, and a collection of option files.
137These are split up and separate from the main configuration file to
138.PP
139See \fBdisorder.cgi\fR(8) for more information.
140.SS "Searching And Tags"
141Search strings contain a list of search terms separated by spaces.
142A search term can either be a single word or a tag, prefixed with "tag:".
143.PP
144Search words are compared without regard to letter case or accents; thus, all
145of the following will be considered to be equal to one another:
146.PP
147.nf
148 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
149 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
150 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
151 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE
152 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
153 LATIN SMALL LETTER E plus COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT
154.fi
155.PP
156The same rules apply to tags but in addition leading and trailing whitespace is
157disregarded and all whitespace sequences are treated as equal when they appear
158as internal whitespace.
159.PP
160Where several tags are listed, for instance the tags preference for a track,
161the tags are separated by commas.
162Therefore tags may not contain commas.
163.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
164.SS "General Syntax"
165Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
166feed, carriage return, form feed).
167Comments are started by the number sign ("#").
168.PP
169Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
170may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
171quotation marks or apostrophes.
172Inside quoted fields every character stands for itself, except that
173a backslash can only appear as part of one of the following escape sequences:
174.TP
175.B \e\e
176Backslash
177.TP
178.B \e"
179Quotation mark
180.\" "
181.TP
182.B \e'
183Apostrophe
184.TP
185.B \en
186Line feed
187.PP
188No other escape sequences are allowed.
189.PP
190Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
191further fields are parameters.
192Lines with no fields are ignored.
193.PP
194After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
195it re-read it.
196If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will record a log
197message and ignore the new config file.
198(You should fix it before next terminating and restarting the daemon,
199as it cannot start up without a valid config file.)
200.SS "Configuration Files"
201Configuration files are read in the following order:
202.TP
203.I pkgconfdir/config
204.TP
205.I pkgconfdir/config.private
206Should be readable only by the jukebox group.
207Not really useful any more and will be abolished in future.
208.TP
209.I ~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd
210Per-user client configuration.
211Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
212Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
213.TP
214.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME
215Per-user system-controlled client configuration.
216Optional but if it exists must be readable only by the relevant user.
217Would normally contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
218.IP
219The prefererred location for per-user passwords is \fI~/.disorder/passwd\fR and
220\fBdisorder authorize\fR writes there now.
221.SS "Global Configuration"
222.TP
223.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
224The home directory for state files.
225Defaults to
226.IR pkgstatedir .
227The server will create this directory on startup if it does not exist.
228.TP
229.B plugins \fIPATH\fR
230Adds a directory to the plugin path.
231(This is also used by the web interface.)
232.IP
233Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after,
234so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is
235guaranteed to take effect.
236.IP
237If
238.B plugins
239is used without arguments the plugin path is cleared.
240.SS "Server Configuration"
241.TP
242.B alias \fIPATTERN\fR
243Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR
244preferences.
245.IP
246Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used
247to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or
248\fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR.
249.IP
250The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the
251second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty.
252.IP
253The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is
254automatically included, but should include the proper extension.
255.IP
256The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR.
257.TP
258.B api \fINAME\fR
259Selects the backend used to play sound and to set the volume.
260The following options are available:
261.RS
262.TP
263.B alsa
264Use the ALSA API.
265This is only available on Linux systems, on which it is the default.
266.TP
267.B coreaudio
268Use Apple Core Audio.
269This only available on OS X systems, on which it is the default.
270.TP
271.B oss
272Use the OSS (/dev/dsp) API.
273Not available on all platforms.
274.TP
275.B command
276Execute a command.
277This is the default if
278.B speaker_command
279is specified, or if no native is available.
280.TP
281.B network
282Transmit audio over the network.
283This is the default if \fBbroadcast\fR is specified.
284You can use
285.BR disorder-playrtp (1)
286to receive and play the resulting stream on Linux and OS X.
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 network\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 is currently ignored.
392.IP
393The default is \fBdefault\fR, which is intended to map to whatever the system's
394default is.
395.TP
396.B gap \fISECONDS\fR
397Specifies the number of seconds to leave between tracks.
398The default is 0.
399.IP
400NB this option currently DOES NOT WORK. If there is genuine demand it might be
401reinstated.
402.TP
403.B history \fIINTEGER\fR
404Specifies the number of recently played tracks to remember (including
405failed tracks and scratches).
406.TP
407.B listen \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR
408Listen for connections on the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port
409specified by \fISERVICE\fR.
410If \fIHOST\fR is omitted then listens on all local addresses.
411.IP
412Normally the server only listens on a UNIX domain socket.
413.TP
414.B lock yes\fR|\fBno
415Determines whether the server locks against concurrent operation.
416Default is \fByes\fR.
417There is no good reason to set this to \fBno\fR and the option will
418probably be removed in a future version.
419.TP
420.B mixer \fIDEVICE\fR
421The mixer device name, if it needs to be specified separately from
422\fBdevice\fR.
423.IP
424For \fBapi oss\fR this should be the path to the mixer device and the default
425is \fI/dev/mixer\fR.
426.IP
427For \fBapi alsa\fR, this is the index of the mixer control to use.
428The default is 0.
429.IP
430For \fBapi coreaudio\fR, volume setting is not currently supported.
431.TP
432.B multicast_loop yes\fR|\fBno
433Determines whether multicast packets are loop backed to the sending host.
434The default is \fByes\fR.
435This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and \fBbroadcast\fR
436is actually a multicast address.
437.TP
438.B multicast_ttl \fIHOPS\fR
439Set the maximum number of hops to send multicast packets.
440This only applies if \fBapi\fR is set to \fBnetwork\fR and
441\fBbroadcast\fR is actually a multicast address.
442The default is 1.
443.TP
444.B namepart \fIPART\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
445Determines how to extract trackname part \fIPART\fR from a
446track name (with the collection root part removed).
447Used in \fB@recent@\fR, \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@search@\fR.
448.IP
449Track names can be different in different contexts.
450For instance the sort string might include an initial track number,
451but this would be stripped for the display string.
452\fICONTEXT\fR should be a glob pattern matching the
453contexts in which this directive will be used.
454.IP
455Valid contexts are \fBsort\fR and \fBdisplay\fR.
456.IP
457All the \fBnamepart\fR directives are considered in order.
458The first directive for the right part, that matches the desired context,
459and with a \fIREGEXP\fR that
460matches the track is used, and the value chosen is constructed from
461\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
462.IP
463Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
464not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
465that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results.
466.IP
467If you supply no \fBnamepart\fR directives at all then a default set will be
468supplied automatically.
469But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
470The defaults are equivalent to:
471.PP
472.nf
473namepart title "/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display
474namepart title "/([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $1 sort
475namepart album "/([^/]+)/[^/]+$" $1 *
476namepart artist "/([^/]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+$" $1 *
477namepart ext "(\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)$" $1 *
478.fi
479.TP
480.B new_bias \fIWEIGHT\fR
481The weight for new tracks.
482The default is 900000, i.e. recently added tracks are a hundred times as likely
483to be picked as normal.
484.TP
485.B new_bias_age \fISECONDS\fR
486The maximum age of tracks that \fBnew_bias\fR applies to, in seconds.
487The default is one week.
488.TP
489.B new_max \fIMAX\fR
490The maximum number of tracks to list when reporting newly noticed tracks.
491The default is 100.
492.TP
493.B nice_rescan \fIPRIORITY\fR
494Set the recan subprocess priority.
495The default is 10.
496.IP
497(Note that higher values mean the process gets less CPU time; UNIX priority
498values are backwards.)
499.TP
500.B nice_server \fIPRIORITY\fR
501Set the server priority.
502This is applied to the server at startup time (and not when you reload
503configuration).
504The server does not use much CPU itself but this value is inherited
505by programs it executes.
506If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a small
507negative value.
508The default is 0.
509.TP
510.B nice_speaker \fIPRIORITY\fR
511Set the speaker process priority.
512This is applied to the speaker process at startup time (and not when
513you reload the configuration).
514The speaker process is not massively CPU intensive by today's
515standards but depends on reasonably timely scheduling.
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 noticed_history
521The maximum days that a track can survive in the database of newly added
522tracks.
523The default is 31.
524.TP
525.B player \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR [\fIOPTIONS.. [\fB\-\-\fR]] \fIARGS\fR...
526Specifies the player for files matching the glob \fIPATTERN\fR.
527\fIMODULE\fR specifies which plugin module to use.
528.IP
529The following options are supported:
530.RS
531.TP
532.B \-\-wait\-for\-device\fR[\fB=\fIDEVICE\fR]
533Waits (for up to a couple of seconds) for the default, or specified, libao
534device to become openable.
535.TP
536.B \-\-
537Defines the end of the list of options.

541The following are the standard modules:
542.RS
543.TP
544.B exec \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
545The command is executed via \fBexecvp\fR(3), not via the shell.
546The \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the executable if it is not
547an absolute path.
548The command is expected to know how to open its own sound device.
549.TP
550.B execraw \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
551Identical to the \fBexec\fR except that the player is expected to use the
552DisOrder raw player protocol.
553.BR disorder-decode (8)
554can decode several common audio file formats to this format.
555If your favourite format is not supported, but you have a player
556which uses libao, there is also a libao driver which supports this format;
557see below for more information about this.
558.TP
559.B shell \fR[\fISHELL\fR] \fICOMMAND\fR
560The command is executed using the shell.
561If \fISHELL\fR is specified then that is used, otherwise \fBsh\fR will be used.
562In either case the \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the shell
563executable if it is not an absolute path.
564The track name is stored in the environment variable
565\fBTRACK\fR.

570.IP
571If multiple player commands match a track then the first match is used.

581is used without arguments, the list of players is cleared.
582.TP
583.B prefsync \fISECONDS\fR
584The interval at which the preferences log file will be synchronised.
585Defaults to 3600, i.e. one hour.
586.TP
587.B queue_pad \fICOUNT\fR

593.B reminder_interval \fISECONDS\fR
594The minimum number of seconds that must elapse between password reminders.
595The default is 600, i.e. 10 minutes.
596.TP
597.B remote_userman yes\fR|\fBno
598User management over TCP connection is only allowed if this is set to
599\fByes\fR. By default it is set to \fBno\fR.
600.TP
601.B replay_min \fISECONDS\fR
602The minimum number of seconds that must elapse after a track has been played
603before it can be picked at random. The default is 8 hours. If this is set to
6040 then there is no limit, though current \fBdisorder-choose\fR will not pick
605anything currently listed in the recently-played list.
606.TP
607.B sample_format \fIBITS\fB/\fIRATE\fB/\fICHANNELS
608Describes the sample format expected by the \fBspeaker_command\fR (below).
609The components of the format specification are as follows:
610.RS
611.TP 10
612.I BITS
613The number of bits per sample.
614Optionally, may be suffixed by \fBb\fR or \fBl\fR for big-endian and
615little-endian words.
616If neither is used the native byte order is assumed.
617.TP
618.I RATE
619The number of samples per second.
620.TP
621.I CHANNELS
622The number of channels.
623.PP
624The default is
625.BR 16/44100/2 .
626.PP
627With the
628.B network
629backend the sample format is forced to
630.B 16b/44100/2
631and with the
632.B coreaudio
633backend it is forced to
634.BR 16/44100/2 ,
635in both cases regardless of what is specified in the configuration file.
636.RE
637.TP
638.B signal \fINAME\fR
639Defines the signal to be sent to track player process groups when tracks are
640scratched.
641The default is \fBSIGKILL\fR.
642.IP
643Signals are specified by their full C name, i.e. \fBSIGINT\fR and not \fBINT\fR
644or \fBInterrupted\fR or whatever.
645.TP
646.B sox_generation \fB0\fR|\fB1
647Determines whether calls to \fBsox\fR(1) should use \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-x\fR, etc (if
648the generation is 0) or \fB\-\fIbits\fR, \fB\-L\fR etc (if it is 1).
649See the documentation for your installed copy of \fBsox\fR to determine
650which you need.
651The default is 0.
652.TP
653.B speaker_backend \fINAME
654This is an alias for \fBapi\fR; see above.
655.TP
656.B speaker_command \fICOMMAND
657Causes the speaker subprocess to pipe audio data into shell command
658\fICOMMAND\fR, rather than writing to a local sound card.
659The sample format is determine by
660.B sample_format
661above.
662.IP
663Note that if the sample format is wrong then
664.BR sox (1)
665is invoked to translate it.
666If
667.B sox
668is not installed then this will not work.
669.TP
670.B scratch \fIPATH\fR
671Specifies a scratch.
672When a track is scratched, a scratch track is played at random.
673Scratches are played using the same logic as other tracks.
674.IP
675At least for the time being, path names of scratches must be encoded using
676UTF-8 (which means that ASCII will do).
677.IP
678If \fBscratch\fR is used without arguments then the list of scratches is
679cleared.
680.TP
681.B stopword \fIWORD\fR ...
682Specifies one or more stopwords that should not take part in searches
683over track names.
684.IP
685If \fBstopword\fR is used without arguments then the list of stopwords is
686cleared.
687.IP
688There is a default set of stopwords built in, but this option can be used to
689augment or replace that list.
690.TP
691.B tracklength \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR
692Specifies the module used to calculate the length of files matching
693\fIPATTERN\fR.
694\fIMODULE\fR specifies which plugin module to use.
695.IP
696If \fBtracklength\fR is used without arguments then the list of modules is
697cleared.
698.TP
699.B user \fIUSERNAME\fR
700Specifies the user to run as.
701Only makes sense if invoked as root (or the target user).
702.SS "Client Configuration"
703These options would normally be used in \fI~\fRUSERNAME\fI/.disorder/passwd\fR
704or
705\fIpkgconfdir/config.\fRUSERNAME.
706.TP
707.B connect \fIHOST SERVICE\fR
708Connect to the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port specified by
709\fISERVICE\fR.
710.TP
711.B password \fIPASSWORD\fR
712Specify password.
713.TP
714.B username \fIUSERNAME\fR
715Specify username.
716The default is inferred from the current UID.
717.SS "Web Interface Configuration"
718.\" TODO this section is misnamed really...
719.TP
720.B mail_sender \fIADDRESS\fR
721The email address that appears in the From: field of any mail messages sent by
722the web interface.
723This must be set if you have online registration enabled.
724.TP
725.B refresh \fISECONDS\fR
726Specifies the maximum refresh period in seconds.
727Default 15.
728.TP
729.B sendmail \fIPATH\fR
730The path to the Sendmail executable.
731This must support the \fB-bs\fR option (Postfix, Exim and Sendmail should all
732work).
733The default is the sendmail executable found at compile time.
734.TP
735.B short_display \fICHARACTERS\fR
736Defines the maximum number of characters to include in a \fBshort\fR name
737part.
738Default 30.
739.TP
740.B smtp_server \fIHOSTNAME\fR
741The hostname (or address) of the SMTP server to use for sending mail.
742The default is 127.0.0.1.
743If \fBsendmail\fR is set then that is used instead.
744.TP
745.B transform \fITYPE\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
746Determines how names are sorted and displayed in track choice displays.
747.IP
748\fITYPE\fR is the type of transformation; usually \fBtrack\fR or
749\fBdir\fR but you can define your own.
750.IP
751\fICONTEXT\fR is a glob pattern matching the context.
752Standard contexts are \fBsort\fR (which determines how directory names
753are sorted) and \fBdisplay\fR (which determines how they are displayed).
754Again, you can define your own.
755.IP
756All the \fBtransform\fR directives are considered in order.
757If the \fITYPE\fR, \fIREGEXP\fR and the \fICONTEXT\fR match
758then a new track name is constructed from
759\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
760If several match then each is executed in order.
761.IP
762If you supply no \fBtransform\fR directives at all then a default set will be
763supplied automatically.
764But if you supply even one then you must supply all of them.
765The defaults are:
766.PP
767.nf
768transform track "^.*/([0-9]+ *[-:] *)?([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $2 display
769transform track "^.*/([^/]+)\\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" $1 sort
770transform dir "^.*/([^/]+)$" $1 *
771transform dir "^(the) ([^/]*)" "$2 $1" sort i
772transform dir "[[:punct:]]" "" sort g
773.fi
774.TP
775.B url \fIURL\fR
776Specifies the URL of the web interface.
777This URL will be used in generated web pages.
778The default is inferred at runtime, so this option no
779longer needs to be specified.
780.IP
781This must be the full URL, e.g. \fBhttp://myhost/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR and not
782\fB/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR.
783.SH "GLOBAL PREFERENCES"
784.SH "LIBAO DRIVER"
785.SS "Raw Protocol Players"
786Raw protocol players are expected to use the \fBdisorder\fR libao driver.
787Programs that use libao generally have command line options to select the
788driver and pass options to it.
789.SS "Driver Options"
790The known driver options are:
791.TP
792.B fd
793The file descriptor to write to.
794If this is not specified then the driver looks like the environment
795variable \fBDISORDER_RAW_FD\fR.
796If that is not set then the default is 1 (i.e. standard output).
797.TP
798.B fragile
799If this is set to a nonzero value then the driver will call \fB_exit\fR(2) if a
800write to the output file descriptor fails.
801This is a workaround for buggy players such as \fBogg123\fR that ignore
802write errors.
803.SH "REGEXP SUBSTITUTION RULES"
804Regexps are PCRE regexps, as defined in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3).
805The only option used is \fBPCRE_UTF8\fR.
806Remember that the configuration file syntax means you have to
807escape backslashes and quotes inside quoted strings.
808.PP
809In a \fISUBST\fR string the following sequences are interpreted
810specially:
811.TP
812.B $1 \fR... \fB$9
813These expand to the first to ninth bracketed subexpression.
814.TP
815.B $&
816This expands to the matched part of the subject string.
817.TP
818.B $$
819This expands to a single \fB$\fR symbol.
820.PP
821All other pairs starting with \fB$\fR are undefined (and might be used
822for something else in the future, so don't rely on the current
823behaviour.)
824.PP
825If \fBi\fR is present in \fIREFLAGS\fR then the match is case-independent.
826If \fBg\fR is present then all matches are replaced, otherwise only the first
827match is replaced.
828.SH "TRACK NAME PARTS"
829The traditional track name parts are \fBartist\fR, \fBalbum\fR and \fBtitle\fR,
830with the obvious intended meaning.
831These are controlled by configuration and by \fBtrackname_\fR preferences.
832.PP
833In addition there are two built-in parts, \fBpath\fR which is the whole path
834name and \fBext\fR which is the filename extension, including the initial dot
835(or the empty string if there is not extension).
836.SH "SEE ALSO"
837\fBdisorder\fR(1), \fBsox\fR(1), \fBdisorderd\fR(8), \fBdisorder\-dump\fR(8),
