Hello. Here's some information on the config file. I marked default
values with (!). Sorry I haven't located a file I can give you yet about
presets/favorites. We should coordinate on this though because RP9 for
unix will have favorites again.
Attached is an explanation I just wrote of the preferences you're likely
to want to change.
Cheers,
Pete
Bandwidth: bandwidth that player should attempt to use for streams.
possible values:
14400 19200 28800 33600 34430 57600 115200 262200 307200 524300
1544000 10485800
MaxBandwidth: most bandwidth the player should use to play a stream (this
may be higher than bandwidth because there will be streams at higher
rates.
possible value:
as above
PNAProxySupport: (0!/1) use a pna proxy
PNAProxyHost: (string) host name of pna proxy
PNAProxyPort: (port number) port number of pna proxy
RTSPProxySupport (0!/1)
RTSPProxyHost (same as PNA but for RTSP)
RTSPProxyPort
HTTPProxySupported (0!/1)
HTTPProxyHost
HTTPProxyPort
NoProxyFor (list of comma-separated hostnames that no proxy should be used
for (local hosts))
AttemptRTSPvMulticast: (0/1!) Turn on if you have multicast internet
AttemptRTSPvUDP: (0/1!) " udp "
AttemptRTSPvTCP: (0/1!) " tcp "
AttemptRTSPvHTTPOnly: only use http for streaming (don't use unless you
have a strict firewall that only allows http)
AttemptPNAvMulticast (0/1!)
AttemptPNAvUDP (0/1!)
AttemptPNAvTCP (0/1!)
MulticastTimeout: (number (4000!)) wait this many milliseconds before
determining that we don't have multicast available
(by no packets arriving).
AttemptPNAvHTTPOnly: only use http for PNA: for firewall situations
UDPTimeout: Give up on UDP after this many milliseconds... used for
fallback to TCP in situations where UDP is not available (e.g. through IP
masquerade on non-bridged DSL, etc.)
UseUDPPort: (0!/1) Just use a list of UDP ports on my machine that I
specify to receive content.
UDPPort: (comma and dash-separated numbers) List of ports on my machine
to use to receive content.
PerfectPlayEntireClip: (0!/1) Buffer enough of the clip to ensure that
there won't be any rebuffering during playback.
PerfectPlayTime: (number) Buffer this many seconds of data to avoid
rebuffering.
Volume: audio volume to start player at (0-100).
NoAsyncDNS: (0!/1) For debugging only... stops the creation of a
separate process to handle DNS requests.
NetworkThreading (0/1!) Turn on a threaded networking implementation.
Turning this off may aid debugging.
ThreadedAudio (0/1!) Turn on audio threading. Turning this off
may aid debugging.
