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. \fIpkgconfdir/config\fR is the primary
25configuration file but this man page currently documents all of its various
26configuration 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. See \fBdisorder\fR(3) for more details about this.
35.PP
36Each track can have a set of preferences associated with it. These are simple
37key-value pairs; they can be used for anything you like, but a number of keys
38have specific meanings. See \fBdisorder\fR(1) 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. They can be overridden by setting preferences.
43.PP
44Names for display are distinguished from names for sorting, so with the right
45underlying filenames an album can be displayed in its original order even if
46the displayed track titles are not lexically sorted.
47.SS "Server State"
48A collection of global preferences define various bits of server state: whether
49random play is enabled, what tags to check for when picking at random, etc.
50.SS "Users And Access Control"
51DisOrder distinguishes between multiple users. This is for access control and
52reporting, not to provide different views of the world: i.e. preferences and so
53on are global.
54.PP
55It's possible to restrict a small number of operations to a specific subset of
56users. However, it is assumed that every user is supposed to be able to do
57most operations - since the users are all sharing the same audio environment
58they are expected to cooperate with each other.
59.PP
60Access control is entirely used-based. If you configure DisOrder to listen for
61TCP/IP connections then it will accept a connection from anywhere provided the
62right password is available. Passwords are never transmitted over TCP/IP
63connections in clear, but everything else is. The expected model is that
64host-based access control is imposed at the network layer.
65.SS "Web Interface"
66The web interface is controlled by a collection of template files, one for each
67kind of page, and a collection of option files. These are split up and
68separate from the main configuration file to make it more convenient to
69override specific bits.
70.PP
71The web interface connects to the DisOrder server like any other user, though
72it is given a special privilege to "become" any other user. (Thus, any process
73with the same UID as the web interface is very powerful as far as DisOrder
74goes.)
75.PP
76Access control to the web interface is (currently) separate from DisOrder's own
77access control (HTTP authentication is required) but uses the same user
78namespace.
79.SH "CONFIGURATION FILE"
80.SS "General Syntax"
81Lines are split into fields separated by whitespace (space, tab, line
82feed, carriage return, form feed). Comments are started by the number
83sign ("#").
84.PP
85Fields may be unquoted (in which case they may not contain spaces and
86may not start with a quotation mark or apostrophe) or quoted by either
87quotation marks or apostrophes. Inside quoted fields every character
88stands for itself, except that a backslash can only appear as part of
89one of the following escape sequences:
90.TP
91.B \e\e
92Backslash
93.TP
94.B \e"
95Quotation mark
96.\" "
97.TP
98.B \e'
99Apostrophe
100.TP
101.B \en
102Line feed
103.PP
104No other escape sequences are allowed.
105.PP
106Within any line the first field is a configuration command and any
107further fields are parameters. Lines with no fields are ignored.
108.PP
109After editing the config file use \fBdisorder reconfigure\fR to make
110it re-read it. If there is anything wrong with it the daemon will
111record a log message and ignore the new config file. (You should fix
112it before next terminating and restarting the daemon, as it cannot
113start up without a valid config file.)
114.SS "Global Configuration"
115.TP
116.B home \fIDIRECTORY\fR
117The home directory for state files. Defaults to
118.IR pkgstatedir .
119.TP
120.B plugin \fIPATH\fR
121Adds a directory to the plugin path. (This is also used by the web
122interface.)
123.IP
124Plugins are opened the first time they are required and never after,
125so after changing a plugin you must restart the server before it is
126guaranteed to take effect.
127.SS "Server Configuration"
128.TP
129.B alias \fIPATTERN\fR
130Defines the pattern use construct virtual filenames from \fBtrackname_\fR
131preferences.
132.IP
133Most characters stand for themselves, the exception being \fB{\fR which is used
134to insert a track name part in the form \fB{\fIname\fB}\fR or
135\fB{/\fIname\fB}\fR.
136.IP
137The difference is that the first form just inserts the name part while the
138second prefixes it with a \fB/\fR if it is nonempty.
139.IP
140The pattern should not attempt to include the collection root, which is
141automatically included, but should include the proper extension.
142.IP
143The default is \fB{/artist}{/album}{/title}{ext}\fR.
144.TP
145.B channel \fICHANNEL\fR
146The mixer channel that the volume control should use. Valid names depend on
147your operating system and hardware, but some standard ones that might be useful
148are:
149.RS
150.TP 8
151.B pcm
152Output level for the audio device. This is probably what you want.
153.TP
154.B speaker
155Output level for the PC speaker, if that is connected to the sound card.
156.TP
157.B pcm2
158Output level for alternative codec device.
159.TP
160.B vol
161Master output level. The OSS documentation recommends against using this, as
162it affects all output devices.
163.RE
164.IP
165You can also specify channels by number, if you know the right value.
166.TP
167.B collection \fIMODULE\fR \fIENCODING\fR \fIROOT\fR
168Define a collection of tracks.
169.IP
170\fIMODULE\fR defines which plugin module should be used for this
171collection. Use the supplied \fBfs\fR module for tracks that exists
172as ordinary files in the filesystem.
173.IP
174\fIENCODING\fR defines the encoding of filenames in this collection.
175For \fBfs\fR this would be the encoding you use for filenames.
176Examples might be \fBiso-8859-1\fR or \fButf-8\fR.
177.IP
178\fIROOT\fR is the root in the filesystem of the filenames and is
179passed to the plugin module.
180.TP
181.B device \fINAME\fR
182ALSA device to play raw-format audio. Default is \fBdefault\fR, i.e. to use
183the whatever the ALSA configured default is.
184.TP
185.B gap \fISECONDS\fR
186Specifies the number of seconds to leave between tracks. The default
187is 2.
188.TP
189.B history \fIINTEGER\fR
190Specifies the number of recently played tracks to remember (including
191failed tracks and scratches).
192.TP
193.B listen \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR
194Listen for connections on the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port
195specified by \fISERVICE\fR. If \fIHOST\fR is omitted then listens on all
196local addresses.
197.IP
198Normally the server only listens on a UNIX domain socket.
199.TP
200.B lock yes\fR|\fBno
201Determines whether the server locks against concurrent operation. Default is
202\fByes\fR.
203.TP
204.B mixer \fIPATH\fR
205The path to the mixer device, if you want access to the volume control,
206e.g. \fB/dev/mixer\fR.
207.TP
208.B namepart \fIPART\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
209Determines how to extract trackname part \fIPART\fR from a
210track name (with the collection root part removed).
211Used in \fB@recent@\fR, \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@search@\fR.
212.IP
213Track names can be different in different contexts. For instance the sort
214string might include an initial track number, but this would be stripped for
215the display string. \fICONTEXT\fR should be a glob pattern matching the
216contexts in which this directive will be used.
217.IP
218Valid contexts are \fBsort\fR and \fBdisplay\fR.
219.IP
220All the \fBnamepart\fR directives are considered in order. The
221first directive for the right part, that matches the desired context,
222and with a \fIREGEXP\fR that
223matches the track is used, and the value chosen is constructed from
224\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below.
225.IP
226Note that searches use the raw track name and \fBtrackname_\fR preferences but
227not (currently) the results of \fBnamepart\fR, so generating words via this option
228that aren't in the original track name will lead to confusing results.
229.IP
230If you supply no \fBnamepart\fR directives at all then a default set will be
231supplied automatically. But if you supply even one then you must supply all of
232them. See the example config file for the defaults.
233.TP
234.B nice_rescan \fIPRIORITY\fR
235Set the recan subprocess priority. The default is 10.
236.IP
237(Note that higher values mean the process gets less CPU time; UNIX priority
238values are the backwards.)
239.TP
240.B nice_server \fIPRIORITY\fR
241Set the server priority. This is applied to the server at startup time (and
242not when you reload configuration). The server does not use much CPU itself
243but this value is inherited by programs it executes. If you have limited CPU
244then it might help to set this to a small negative value. The default is 0.
245.TP
246.B nice_speaker \fIPRIORITY\fR
247Set the speaker process priority. This is applied to the speaker process at
248startup time (and not when you reload the configuration). The speaker process
249is not massively CPU intensive by today's standards but depends on reasonably
250timely scheduling. If you have limited CPU then it might help to set this to a
251small negative value. The default is 0.
252.TP
253.B player \fIPATTERN\fR \fIMODULE\fR [\fIOPTIONS.. [\fB--\fR]] \fIARGS\fR...
254Specifies the player for files matching the glob \fIPATTERN\fR. \fIMODULE\fR
255specifies which plugin module to use.
256.IP
257The following options are supported:
258.RS
259.TP
260.B --wait-for-device\fR[\fB=\fIDEVICE\fR]
261Waits (for up to a couple of seconds) for the default, or specified, libao
262device to become openable.
263.TP
264.B --
265Defines the end of the list of options. Needed if the first argument to the
266plugin starts with a "-".
267.RE
268.IP
269The following are the standard modules:
270.RS
271.TP
272.B exec \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
273The command is executed via \fBexecvp\fR(3), not via the shell.
274The \fBPATH\fR environment variable is searched for the executable if it is not
275an absolute path.
276The command is expected to know how to open its own sound device.
277.TP
278.B execraw \fICOMMAND\fR \fIARGS\fR...
279Identical to the \fBexec\fR except that the player is expected to use the
280DisOrder raw player protocol (see notes below).
281.TP
282.B shell \fR[\fISHELL\fR] \fICOMMAND\fR
283The command is executed using the shell. If \fISHELL\fR is specified then that
284is used, otherwise \fBsh\fR will be used. In either case the \fBPATH\fR
285environment variable is searched for the shell executable if it is not an
286absolute path. The track name is stored in the environment variable
287\fBTRACK\fR.
288.IP
289Be careful of the interaction between the configuration file quoting rules and
290the shell quoting rules.
291.RE
292.IP
293If multiple player commands match a track then the first match is used.
294.TP
295.B prefsync \fISECONDS\fR
296The interval at which the preferences log file will be synchronised. Defaults
297to 3600, i.e. one hour.
298.TP
405fea4e 299.B sample_format \fIBITS\fB/\fIRATE\fB/\fICHANNELS
300Describes the sample format expected by the \fBspeaker_command\fR (below). The
301components of the format specification are as follows:
302.RS
303.TP 10
304.I BITS
305The number of bits per sample. Optionally, may be suffixed by \fBb\fR or
306\fBl\fR for big-endian and little-endian words. If neither is used the native
307byte order is assumed.
308.TP
309.I RATE
310The number of samples per second.
311.TP
312.I CHANNELS
313The number of channels.
314.PP
315The default is
316.BR 16/44100/2 .
317.RE
318.TP
460b9539 319.B signal \fINAME\fR
320Defines the signal to be sent to track player process groups when tracks are
321scratched. The default is \fBSIGKILL\fR.
322.IP
323Signals are specified by their full C name, i.e. \fBSIGINT\fR and not \fBINT\fR
324or \fBInterrupted\fR or whatever.
325.TP
405fea4e 326.B speaker_command \fICOMMAND
327Causes the speaker subprocess to pipe audio data into shell command
328\fICOMMAND\fR, rather than writing to a local sound card. The sample format is
329determine by
330.B sample_format
331above.
332.TP
460b9539 333.B restrict \fR[\fBscratch\fR] [\fBremove\fR] [\fBmove\fR]
334Determine which operations are restricted to the submitter of a
335track. By default, no operations are restricted, i.e. anyone can
336scratch or remove anything.
337.IP
338If \fBrestrict scratch\fR or \fBrestrict remove\fR are set then only the user
339that submitted a track can scratch or remove it, respectively.
340.IP
341If \fBrestrict move\fR is set then only trusted users can move tracks around in
342the queue.
343.IP
344If \fBrestrict\fR is used more than once then only the final use has any
345effect.
346.TP
347.B scratch \fIPATH\fR
348Specifies a scratch. When a track is scratched, a scratch track is
349played at random.
350Scratches are played using the same logic as other tracks.
351.IP
352At least for the time being, path names of scratches must be encoded using
353UTF-8 (which means that ASCII will do).
354.TP
355.B stopword \fIWORD\fR ...
356Specifies one or more stopwords that should not take part in searches
357over track names.
358.SS "Client Configuration"
359.TP
360.B connect \fR[\fIHOST\fR] \fISERVICE\fR
361Connect to the address specified by \fIHOST\fR and port specified by
362\fISERVICE\fR. If \fIHOST\fR is omitted then connects to the local host.
363Normally the UNIX domain socket is used instead.
364.SS "Web Interface Configuration"
365.TP
366.B refresh \fISECONDS\fR
367Specifies the maximum refresh period in seconds. Default 15.
368.TP
369.B templates \fIPATH\fR ...
370Specifies the directory containing templates used by the web
371interface. If a template appears in more than one template directory
372then the one in the earliest directory specified is chosen.
373.IP
374See below for further details.
375.TP
376.B transform \fITYPE\fR \fIREGEXP\fR \fISUBST\fR [\fICONTEXT\fR [\fIREFLAGS\fR]]
377Determines how names are sorted and displayed in track choice displays.
378.IP
379\fITYPE\fR is the type of transformation; usually \fBtrack\fR or
380\fBdir\fR but you can define your own.
381.IP
382\fICONTEXT\fR is a glob pattern matching the context. Standard contexts are
383\fBsort\fR (which determines how directory names are sorted) and \fBdisplay\fR
384(which determines how they are displayed). Again, you can define your
385own.
386.IP
387All the \fBtransform\fR directives are considered in order. If
388the \fITYPE\fR, \fIREGEXP\fR and the \fICONTEXT\fR match
389then a new track name is constructed from
390\fISUBST\fR according to the substitution rules below. If several
391match then each is executed in order.
392.IP
393If you supply no \fBtransform\fR directives at all then a default set will be
394supplied automatically. But if you supply even one then you must supply all of
395them. See the example config file for the defaults.
396.TP
397.B url \fIURL\fR
398Specifies the URL of the web interface. This URL will be used in
399generated web pages.
400.IP
401This must be the full URL, e.g. \fBhttp://myhost/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR and not
402\fB/cgi-bin/jukebox\fR.
403.SS "Authentication Configuration"
404.TP
405.B allow \fIUSERNAME\fR \fIPASSWORD\fR
406Specify a username/password pair.
407.TP
408.B password \fIPASSWORD\fR
409Specify password.
410.TP
411.B trust \fIUSERNAME\fR
412Allow \fIUSERNAME\fR to perform privileged operations such as shutting
413down or reconfiguring the daemon, or becoming another user.
414.TP
415.B user \fIUSER\fR
416Specifies the user to run as. Only makes sense if invoked as root (or
417the target user).
418.TP
419.B username \fIUSERNAME\fR
420Specify username. The default is taken from the environment variable
421\fBLOGNAME\fR.

423Configuration files are read in the following order:
424.TP
425.I pkgconfdir/config
426.TP
427.I pkgconfdir/config.private
428Should be readable only by the jukebox group, and contain \fBallow\fR
429commands for authorised users.
430.TP
431.I pkgconfdir/config.\fRUSER
432Per-user system-controlled client configuration. Optional but if it
433exists must be readable only by the relevant user. Would normally
434contain a \fBpassword\fR directive.
435.TP
436.I ~\fRUSER\fI/.disorder/passwd
437Per-user client configuration. Optional but if it exists must be
438readable only by the relevant user. Would normally contain a
439\fBpassword\fR directive.
440.SH "GLOBAL PREFERENCES"
441These are the values set with \fBset-global\fR.
442.TP
443.B required-tags
444If this is set an nonempty then randomly played tracks will always have at
445least one of the listed tags.
446.IP
447Tags can contain any printing character except comma. Leading and trailing
448spaces are not significant but internal spaces are. Tags in a list are
449separated by commas.
450.TP
451.B prohibited-tags
452If this is set an nonempty then randomly played tracks will never have any of
453the listed tags.
454.TP
455.B playing
456If unset or \fByes\fR then play is enabled. Otherwise it is disabled. Use
457\fBdisable\fR rather than setting it directly.
458.TP
459.B random-play
460If unset or \fByes\fR then random play is enabled. Otherwise it is disabled.
461Use \fBdisable\fR rather than setting it directly.
462.SH "LIBAO DRIVER"
463.SS "Raw Protocol Players"
464Raw protocol players are expected to use the \fBdisorder\fR libao driver.
465Programs that use libao generally have command line options to select the
466driver and pass options to it.
467.SS "Driver Options"
468The known driver options are:
469.TP
470.B fd
471The file descriptor to write to. If this is not specified then the driver
472looks like the environment variable \fBDISORDER_RAW_FD\fR. If that is not set
473then the default is 1 (i.e. standard output).
474.TP
475.B fragile
476If this is set to a nonzero value then the driver will call \fB_exit\fR(2) if a
477write to the output file descriptor fails. This is a workaround for buggy
478players such as \fBogg123\fR that ignore write errors.
479.SH "WEB TEMPLATES"
480When \fBdisorder.cgi\fR wants to generate a page for an action it searches the
481directories specified with \fBtemplates\fR for a matching file. It is
482suggested that you leave the distributed templates unchanged and put
483any customisations in an earlier entry in the template path.
484.PP
485The supplied templates are:
486.TP
487.B about.html
488Display information about DisOrder.
489.TP
490.B choose.html
491Navigates through the track database to choose a track to play. The
492\fBdir\fR argument gives the directory to look in; if it is missing
493then the root directory is used.
494.TP
495.B choosealpha.html
496Provides a front end to \fBchoose.html\fR which allows subsets of the top level
497directories to be selected by initial letter.
498.TP
499.B playing.html
500The "front page", which usually shows the currently playing tracks and
501the queue.
502Gets an HTTP \fBRefresh\fR header.
503.IP
504If the \fBmgmt\fR CGI argument is set to \fBtrue\fR then we include extra
505buttons for moving tracks up and down in the queue. There is some logic in
506\fBdisorder.cgi\fR to ensure that \fBmgmt=true\fR is preserved across refreshes
507and redirects back into itself, but URLs embedded in web pages must include it
508explicitly.
509.TP
510.B prefs.html
511Views preferences. If the \fBfile\fR, \fBname\fR and \fBvalue\fR arguments are
512all set then that preference is modified; if \fBfile\fR and \fBname\fR are set
513but not \fBvalue\fR then the preference is deleted.
514.TP
515.B recent.html
516Lists recently played tracks.

534.TP
535.B stylesheet.html
536Contains the default DisOrder stylesheet. You can override this by editing the
537CSS or by replacing it all with a \fB<LINK>\fR to an external stylesheet.
538.PP
539Templates are ASCII files containing HTML documents, with an expansion
540syntax to enable data supplied by the implementation to be inserted.
541.PP
542If you want to use characters outside the ASCII range, use either the
543appropriate HTML entity, e.g. \fB&eacute;\fR, or an SGML numeric
544character reference, e.g. \fB&#253;\fR. Use \fB&#64;\fR to insert a
545literal \fB@\fR without falling foul of the expansion syntax.
546.SS "Expansion Syntax"
547Expansions are surrounded by at ("@") symbols take the form of a keyword
548followed by zero or more arguments. Arguments may either be quoted by curly
549brackets ("{" and "}") or separated by colons (":"). Both kinds may be mixed
550in a single expansion, though doing so seems likely to cause confusion.
551The descriptions below contain suggested forms for each
552expansion.
553.PP
554Leading and trailing whitespace in unquoted arguments is ignored, as is
555whitespace (including newlines) following a close bracket ("}").
556.PP
557Arguments are recursively expanded before being interpreted, except for
558\fITEMPLATE\fR arguments. These are expanded (possibly more than once) to
559produce the final expansion.
560(More than once means the same argument being expanded more than once
561for different tracks or whatever, not the result of the first
562expansion itself being re-expanded.)
563.PP
564Strings constructed by expansions (i.e. not literally copied from the template
565text) are SGML-quoted: any character which does not stand for itself in #PCDATA
566or a quoted attribute value is replaced by the appropriate numeric character
567reference.
568.PP
569The exception to this is that such strings are \fInot\fR quoted when they are
570generated in the expansion of a parameter.
571.PP
572In the descriptions below, the current track means the one set by
573\fB@playing@\fR, \fB@recent@\fR or \fB@queue@\fR, not the one that is playing.
574If none of these expansions are in force then there is no current track.
575\fIBOOL\fR should always be either \fBtrue\fR or \fBfalse\fR.
576.SS "Expansions"

714.TP
715.B @part{\fICONTEXT\fB}{\fIPART\fB}@
716Expands to track name part \fIPART\fR using context \fICONTEXT\fR for the

718to \fBdisplay\fR.
719.TP
720.B @part{\fICONTEXT\fB}{\fIPART\fB}{\fITRACK\fB}@
721Expands to track name part \fIPART\fR using context \fICONTEXT\fR for

735argument of \fB@prefs@\fR.
736.TP
737.B @prefs{\fIFILE\fB}{\fITEMPLATE\fB}@
738Expands \fITEMPLATE\fR repeatedly, for each preference of track
739\fIFILE\fR.
740Use \fB@prefname@\fR and \fB@prefvalue@\fR to get the name and value.
741.TP
742.B @prefvalue@

744argument of \fB@prefs@\fR.
745.TP
746.B @queue{\fITEMPLATE\fB}@
747Expands \fITEMPLATE\fR repeatedly using the each track on the queue in turn as

767and
768.B @file@
769within the template will apply to one of the tracks in the group.
770.IP
771If \fICONTEXT\fR is specified it should be either \fBsort\fR or \fBdisplay\fR,
772and determines the context for \fIPART\fR. The default is \fBsort\fR. Usually
773you want \fBdisplay\fR for everything except the title and \fBsort\fR for the
774title. If you use \fBsort\fR for artist and album then you are likely to get
775strange effects.
776.TP
777.B @server-version@
778Expands to the server's version string.
779.TP
780.B @shell{\fICOMMAND\fB}@

782searched for using \fBPATH\fR. If the command fails then this is logged but
783otherwise ignored.
784.TP
785.B @state@
786In \fB@queue@\fR and \fB@recent@\fR, expands to the state of the current
787track. Otherwise the empty string. Known states are:
788.RS

807This track was scratched.
808.TP
809.B unplayed
810An explicitly queued track, in the queue.
811.RE
812.IP
813Some additional states only apply to playing tracks, so will never be seen in
814the queue or recently-played list:
815.RS
816.TP 12
817.B paused
818The track has been paused.
819.TP

835argument then it is changed to a fresh value.
836.TP
837.B @track@
838The current track.
839.TP
840.B @trackstate{\fIPATH\fB}@
841Expands to the current track state: \fBplaying\fR if the track is actually
842playing now, \fBqueued\fR if it is queued or the empty string otherwise.
843.TP
844.B @transform{\fIPATH\fB}{\fITYPE\fB}{\fICONTEXT\fB}@
845Transform a path according to \fBtransform\fR (see above).
846\fIPATH\fR should be a raw filename (of a track or directory).
847\fITYPE\fR should be the transform type (e.g. \fItrack\fR or \fIdir\fR).
848\fICONTEXT\fR should be the context, and can be omitted (the default
849is \fBdisplay\fR).
850.TP
851.B @url@
852Expands to the canonical URL as defined in \fIpkgconfdir/config\fR.
853.TP

870.SH "WEB OPTIONS"
871This is a file called \fIoptions\fR, searched for in the same manner
872as templates. It includes numerous options for the control of the web
873interface. The general syntax is the same as the main configuration
874file, except that it should be encoded using UTF-8 (though this might
875change to the current locale's character encoding; stick to ASCII to
876be safe).
877.PP
878The shipped \fIoptions\fR file includes four standard options files.
879In order, they are:
880.TP
881.I options.labels
882The default labels file. You wouldn't normally edit this directly - instead
883supply your own commands in \fIoptions.user\fR. Have a look at the shipped
884version of the file for documentation of labels used by the standard templates.
885.TP
886.I options.user
887A user options file. Here you should put any overrides for the default
888labels and any extra labels required by your modified templates.
889.PP
890Valid directives are:
891.TP
892.B columns \fINAME\fR \fIHEADING\fR...
893Defines the columns used in \fB@playing@\fR and \fB@recent@\fB. \fINAME\fR
894must be either \fBplaying\fR, \fBrecent\fR or \fBsearch\fR.
895\fIHEADING\fR... is a list of
896heading names. If a column is defined more than once then the last definitions
897is used.
898.IP
899The heading names \fBbutton\fR, \fBlength\fR, \fBwhen\fR and \fBwho\fR
900are built in.
901.TP
902.B include \fIPATH\fR
903Includes another file. If \fIPATH\fR starts with a \fB/\fR then it is
904taken as is, otherwise it is searched for in the template path.
905.TP
906.B label \fINAME\fR \fIVALUE\fR
907Define a label. If a label is defined more than once then the last definition
908is used.
909.SS Labels
910Some labels are defined inside \fBdisorder.cgi\fR and others by the
911default templates. You can define your own labels and use them inside
912a template.
913.PP
914When an undefined label is expanded, if it has a dot in its name then
915the part after the final dot is used as its value. Otherwise the
916whole name is used as the value.
917.PP
918Labels are no longer documented here, see the shipped \fIoptions.labels\fR file
919instead.
920.SH "REGEXP SUBSTITUTION RULES"
921Regexps are PCRE regexps, as defined in \fBpcrepattern\fR(3). The
922only option used is \fBPCRE_UTF8\fR. Remember that the configuration
923file syntax means you have to escape backslashes and quotes inside
924quoted strings.
925.PP
926In a \fISUBST\fR string the following sequences are interpreted
927specially:
928.TP
929.B $1 \fR... \fB$9
930These expand to the first to ninth bracketed subexpression.
931.TP
932.B $&
933This expands to the matched part of the subject string.
934.TP
935.B $$
936This expands to a single \fB$\fR symbol.
937.PP
938All other pairs starting with \fB$\fR are undefined (and might be used
939for something else in the future, so don't rely on the current
940behaviour.)
941.PP
942If \fBi\fR is present in \fIREFLAGS\fR then the match is case-independent. If
943\fBg\fR is present then all matches are replaced, otherwise only the first
944match is replaced.
945.SH "ACTIONS"
946What the web interface actually does is terminated by the \fBaction\fR CGI
947argument. The values listed below are supported.
948.PP
949Except as specified, all actions redirect back to the \fBplaying.html\fR
950template unless the \fBback\fR argument is present, in which case the URL it
951gives is used instead.
952.PP
953Redirection to \fBplaying.html\fR preserves \fBmgmt=true\fR if it is present.
954.TP 8
955.B "move"
956Move track \fBid\fR by offset \fBdelta\fR.
957.TP
958.B "play"
959Play track \fBfile\fR, or if that is missing then play all the tracks in
960\fBdirectory\fR.
961.TP
962.B "playing"
963Don't change any state, but instead compute a suitable refresh time and include
964that in an HTTP header. Expands the \fBplaying.html\fR template rather than
965redirecting.
966.IP
967This is the default if \fBaction\fR is missing.
968.TP
969.B "random-disable"
970Disables random play.
971.TP
972.B "random-enable"
973Enables random play.
974.TP
975.B "disable"
976Disables play completely.
977.TP
978.B "enable"
979Enables play.
980.TP
981.B "pause"
982Pauses the current track.
983.TP
984.B "remove"
985Remove track \fBid\fR.
986.TP
987.B "resume"
988Resumes play after a pause.
989.TP
990.B "scratch"
991Scratch the playing track. If \fBid\fR is present it must match the playing
992track.
993.TP
994.B "volume"
995Change the volume by \fBdelta\fR, or if that is missing then set it to the
996values of \fBleft\fR and \fBright\fR. Expands to the \fBvolume.html\fR template
997rather than redirecting.
998.TP
999.B "prefs"
1000Adjust preferences from the \fBprefs.html\fR template (which it then expands
1001rather than redirecting).
1002.IP
1003If
1004.B parts
1005is set then the cooked interface is assumed. The value of
1006.B parts
1007is used to determine which trackname preferences are set. By default the
1008.B display
1009context is adjusted but this can be overridden with the
1010.B context
1011argument. Also the
1012.B random
1013argument is checked; if it is set then random play is enabled for that track,
1014otherwise it is disabled.
1015.IP
1016Otherwise if the
1017.B name
1018and
1019.B value
1020arguments are set then they are used to set a single preference.
1021.IP
1022Otherwise if just the
1023.B name
1024argument is set then that preference is deleted.
1025.IP
1026It is recommended that links to the \fBprefs\fR action use \fB@resolve@\fR to
1027enure that the real track name is always used. Otherwise if the preferences
1028page is used to adjust a trackname_ preference, the alias may change, leading
1029to the URL going stale.
1030.TP
1031.B "error"
1032This action is generated automatically when an error occurs connecting to the
1033server. The \fBerror\fR label is set to an indication of what the error is.
1034.SH "TRACK NAME PARTS"
1035The traditional track name parts are \fBartist\fR, \fBalbum\fR and \fBtitle\fR,
1036with the obvious intended meaning. These are controlled by configuration and
1037by \fBtrackname_\fR preferences.
1038.PP
1039In addition there are two built-in parts, \fBpath\fR which is the whole path
1040name and \fBext\fR which is the filename extension, including the initial dot
1041(or the empty string if there is not extension).
