       ®.R "• Xiph.org" ®.R "• Internet-Radio" ®.R "• MyOggRadio" ®.R "• SomaFM" ®.R "• Streema"

GRAPHICAL MODE

       There's only one option for the graphical UI mode:

       --gtk3 Loads Gtk3 via PyGI instead of Gtk2. This is implicit when running on Python3 anyway.

       --nt   No-threading mode avoids some UI separation, but stabilizes the interface (in  particular  channel
              loading crashes occassionally) for some Gtk2/Gtk3 and Python combinations.

       -d plugin
              Disable  plugin  from  loading. Plugin names are all-lowercase and sometimes short versions of the
              channel or feature, such as "reddit", "xiph", "favicons" or "dnd".

       -e plugin
              Load a plugin that isn't set by default.

OTHER OPTIONS

       -D     Enable debug mode, which shows a lot of activity messages during Streamtuner2 running -  including
              UI changes and network requests or extraction steps.

       -V     Show streamtuner version.

       version -v
              Summarize all plugin versions.
