FILES $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pianobar/config or ~/.config/pianobar/config Per-user configuration file. See CONFIGURATION. /etc/libao.conf or ~/.libao Global/per-user audio output configuration. See libao documenta- tion at http://xiph.org/ao/doc/config.html CONFIGURATION The configuration file consists of simple key = value lines, each ter- minated with a newline (\n) character. Keys are case sensitive. act_* keys control pianobar's key-bindings. Every one-byte character except for \x00 and the special value disabled are allowed here. act_help = ? Show keybindings. act_songlove = + Love currently played song. act_songban = - Ban current track. It will not be played again and can only re- moved using the pandora.com web interface. act_stationaddmusic = a Add more music to current station. You will be asked for a search string. Just follow the instructions. If you're clueless try '?' (without quotes). act_bookmark = b Bookmark current song or artist. act_stationcreate = c Create new station.

It's " @ " by de- fault. audio_quality = {high, medium, low} Select audio quality. audio_pipe = /path/to/fifo Stream decoded, raw audio samples to a pipe instead of the de- fault audio device. Use sample_rate to enforce a fixed sample rate. autoselect = {1,0} Auto-select last remaining item of filtered list. Currently en- abled for station selection only. autostart_station = stationid Play this station when starting up. You can get the stationid by pressing i or the key you defined in act_songinfo. ban_icon = </3 Icon for banned songs. bind_to = {if!tunX,host!x.x.x.x,..} This sets the interface name to use as outgoing network inter- face. The name can be an interface name, an IP address, or a host name.

Only the xmlrpc interface will use this proxy. The music is streamed di- rectly. decrypt_password = R=U!LH$O2B# device = android-generic encrypt_password = 6#26FRL$ZWD event_command = path File that is executed when event occurs. See section EVENTCMD fifo = $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pianobar/ctl Location of control fifo. See section REMOTE CONTROL format_list_song = %i) %a - %t%r Available format characters: %i Song number %a Song artist %t Song title %r Rating icon %d Song duration %@ The at_icon %s Songs station, if not the current station. format_msg_none = %s format_msg_info = (i) %s format_msg_nowplaying = |> %s format_msg_time = # %s format_msg_err = /!\ %s format_msg_question = [?] %s format_msg_list = %s Message format strings. %s is replaced with the actual message. format_nowplaying_song = "%t" by "%a" on "%l"%r%@%s Now playing song message format.

Available format characters are: %n Station name %i Station id format_time = %s%r/%t Time format. %e Elapsed time %r Remaining time %s Sign %t Total time gain_mul = 1.0 Pandora sends a ReplayGain value with every song. This sets a multiplier so that the gain adjustment can be reduced. 0.0 means no gain adjustment, 1.0 means full gain adjustment, values inbe- tween reduce the magnitude of gain adjustment. history = 5 Keep a history of the last n songs (5, by default). You can rate these songs. love_icon = <3 Icon for loved songs. max_retry = 3 Max failures for several actions before giving up. partner_password = AC7IBG09A3DTSYM4R41UJWL07VLN8JI7 partner_user = android password = plaintext_password Your pandora.com password. Plain-text. password_command = gpg --decrypt ~/password Use output of command as password. This setting is overridden by specifying a password with password. proxy = http://user:password@host:port/ Use a http proxy. Note that this setting overrides the http_proxy environment variable. Only "Basic" http authentica- tion is supported. rpc_host = tuner.pandora.com rpc_tls_port = 443 sample_rate = 0 Force fixed output sample rate. The default, 0, uses the streams sample rate. sort = {name_az, name_za, quickmix_01_name_az, quickmix_01_name_za, quickmix_10_name_az, quickmix_10_name_za} Sort station list by name or type (is quickmix) and name. name_az for example sorts by name from a to z, quick- mix_01_name_za by type (quickmix at the bottom) and name from z to a. timeout = 30 Network operation timeout. tired_icon = zZ Icon for temporarily suspended songs. user = your@user.name Your pandora.com username. volume = 0 Initial volume correction in dB. Usually between -30 and +5. REMOTE CONTROL pianobar can be controlled through a fifo. You have to create it your- self by executing mkfifo ~/.config/pianobar/ctl Adjust the path if you set up a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or changed the fifo setting. Afterwards you can write commands directly into the fifo. Ex- ample (next song): echo -n 'n' > ~/.config/pianobar/ctl n is the keybinding for "next song". If you customized your keybindings you have to use these characters to control pianobar. This behaviour may change in the future! Another example: while true; do; nc -l -p 12345 -s localhost localhost > ~/.config/pianobar/ctl; sleep 1; done echo -ne 'n\x1a' | nc -q 0 127.0.0.1 12345 EVENTCMD pianobar can report certain "events" to an external application (see CONFIGURATION ). This application is started with the event name as it's first argument. More information like error code and description, was well as song information related to the current event, is supplied through stdin. Currently supported events are: artistbookmark, songban, songbookmark, songexplain, songfinish, songlove, songmove, songshelf, songstart, sta- tionaddgenre, stationaddmusic, stationaddshared, stationcreate, sta- tiondelete, stationdeleteartistseed, stationdeletefeedback, station- deletesongseed, stationfetchinfo, stationfetchplaylist, stationfetch- genre stationquickmixtoggle, stationrename, userlogin, usergetstations An example script can be found in the contrib/ directory of pianobar's source distribution.
