** Auto-saved playlist file **
|
|
By default, when you exit herrie your current playlist is saved to
|
|
~/.herrie/autosave.pls. This list is automatically loaded at the next startup of
|
|
herrie.
|
|
|
|
*NOTE* The file will not be created unless the full path to it exists (it is not
|
|
created by herrie). Therefore, by default you will need to create your ~/.herrie
|
|
folder. The config option, playq.dumpfile, can be used to change the default
|
|
location of the autosave.pls file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** The Config file **
|
|
The global config file is by default at /etc/herrie.conf.
|
|
User-specific settings can be set by creating a config file at ~/.herrie/config.
|
|
The '-c' argument allows you to specify a different config file other than
|
|
these defaults. Please note that config settings are overidden on a per setting
|
|
basis. For instance, if gui.browser.defaultpath is specified in /etc/herrie.conf,
|
|
but it is not specified in ~/.herrie/config then the setting in /etc/herrie.conf
|
|
will be used. The other settings that are in ~/.herrie/config would still be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** AutoPlay **
|
|
Herrie can be configured to begin playback at startup by setting
|
|
|
|
playq.autoplay=yes
|
|
|
|
in the config file. Alternatively, you can run herrie with the '-p' switch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** AutoQuit **
|
|
Herrie can be configured to automatically exit after playing the last song in the
|
|
playlist by setting
|
|
|
|
playq.autoquit=yes
|
|
|
|
in the config file. Alternatively, you can run herrie with the '-q' switch.
|
|
Do note that, by definition, using autoquit ignores 'repeat' since you will want
|
|
herrie to quit after the playlist finishes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Skip Command Confirmation **
|
|
If you would like to skip the Yes/No confirmation dialog when quitting herrie,
|
|
removing all files from the playlist queue, and other commands then set
|
|
|
|
gui.input.confirm=no
|
|
|
|
in the config file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** File Filtering **
|
|
Herrie can be configured to perform file filtering in two different ways:
|
|
|
|
1) Filter only when adding whole folders to the playlist
|
|
vfs.ext.whitelist is used as the config option and its default is currently
|
|
"mp3 wav ogg". If it is set to "" (blank) then filtering is turned off.
|
|
Each file extension whitelisted must have *one* space in between them.
|
|
No '.'s are needed and the extensions are case insensitive.
|
|
|
|
2) Filter files always (including in file browser)
|
|
To make non-whitelisted file types essentially invisible (works the same as
|
|
vfs.dir.hide_dotfiles) simply set
|
|
|
|
vfs.dir.hide_extfiles=yes
|
|
|
|
in the config file. Note, vfs.ext.whitelist is used to specify which file
|
|
extensions are whitelisted. Also, like vfs.dir.hide_dotfiles, this setting
|
|
does not hide files within playlist files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Remote Control of Herrie **
|
|
Sending signals to herrie will cause it to perform certain actions.
|
|
|
|
SIGUSR1 PAUSE
|
|
SIGUSR2 NEXT
|
|
SIGRTMIN+1 PLAY
|
|
SIGRTMIN+2 STOP
|
|
SIGRTMIN+3 PREVIOUS
|
|
|
|
An included script, herriectl, sends these signals to all running instances of
|
|
herrie with the same effective uid as the process running the script. The
|
|
signal sent is based upon the input argument. The short args correspond to the
|
|
keyboard shortcuts for controlling herrie (XMMS style play control). Please run
|
|
herriectl with "-h" or "--help" to see the full usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Chroot Mode **
|
|
Be sure that the user you use for vfs.lockup.user is the OWNER of the folder used
|
|
for vfs.lockup.chroot. For some reason it is not enough to have read permissions
|
|
through a group. Also, note that other settings that use paths, such as
|
|
gui.browser.defaultpath and playq.dumpfile will use the chrooted path. You might
|
|
need to create a .herrie folder under your chrooted folder in order to be able to
|
|
automatically save your playlists.
|
|
|
|
Also, herrie will not work properly when using AO in chroot mode!
|
|
ALSA is now the default sound system used because of this.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example config file for using herrie in chroot mode:
|
|
# Herrie Config file for chrooted herrie
|
|
gui.browser.defaultpath=/
|
|
vfs.lockup.chroot=/mnt/MEDIA/MyMusic
|
|
vfs.lockup.user=USERNAME
|
|
playq.dumpfile=/.herrie/autosave.pls
|
|
|
|
|
|
** Using AO **
|
|
If AO is chosen as the sound output an option can be specified in the
|
|
config file.
|
|
|
|
Config Examples of Using AO:
|
|
# Useful for KDE users
|
|
audio.output.ao.driver=arts
|
|
|
|
# For sending sound output to a remote SSH session
|
|
audio.output.ao.driver=esd
|
|
audio.output.ao.host=env_ssh
|
|
|
|
