NAME¶

quvirc - The simple configuration file for the quvi program

DESCRIPTION¶

A quvi configuration file consists of groups of key-value pairs similar to the so called .ini-like configuration files. quvi uses the GLib to parse the configuration. GLib refers to these files as key files, for lack of a better name.

The lines beginning with a # are considered as comments. You can annotate your configuration file using this character. All text after the comment character to the end of the line is ignored.

GKeyFile has some limitations that should be considered when you use a configuration file to configure quvi.

Multiple keys

Multiple groups

The syntax of the configuration file is described in detail in the Desktop Entry Specification at http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec

GKeyFile is described in detail in the GLib reference documentation at http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Key-value-file-parser.html

PATHS¶

The program will by default search the quvirc file from the typical configuration file paths. These paths (order and location) are determined by GLib, based on how it was configured.

$ quvi info --print-config-paths
/usr/share/gnome/quvi/quvirc
/usr/share/gdm/quvi/quvirc
/usr/local/share/quvi/quvirc
/usr/share/quvi/quvirc
/home/legatvs/.local/share/quvi/quvirc
/home/legatvs/.config/quvi/quvirc

Each of the same group variable value read from another quvirc replaces the current value. For example:

~/.local/share/quvi/quvirc
[core]
stream = foo
~/.config/quvi/quvirc
[core]
stream = bar

The program would use "bar" as the core.stream value.

EXAMPLES¶

A given quvirc could look like:

[core]
check-mode-offline = true
print-format = json
subtitle-language = cc_en,tts_en
stream = 480p,720p,best
#verbosity = debug
[dump]
query-metainfo = true
[exec]
enable-stdout = true
external = echo %t,mplayer %u
[get]
output-regex = %t:/\\w|\\s/,%t:s/\\s\\s+/ /
output-name = %t_%i.%e
resume-from = -1
throttle = 500
[http]
#user-agent = foo/1.0
enable-cookies = true
