GBSPLAYRC

NAME

gbsplayrc - Gameboy sound player configuration file

DESCRIPTION

This manpage describes the configuration file format of gbsplay(1).

SYNTAX

A configuration file is a text file that may contain options for gbsplay(1) as well as comments.

Comments are introduced by a hash mark ("#"). A comment continues to the end of the line.

Whitespace, including empty lines, is ignored.

An option is set by giving the option name, followed by an equal sign ("=") and the option value.

Option value types

Option values can be of these types:
Boolean

An integer number in decimal. 0 is considered false, everything else is true.

Endian

A single character denoting the endianness:

	n		native endian
	l		little endian
	b		big endian

Integer

An integer number in decimal.

Plugin

The name of an output plugin. Run ‘gbsplay -o list’ to get a list of all available output plugins.

OPTIONS

endian = Endian

Set the output endianness.

fadeout = Integer

Set the fadeout time in seconds. Instead of cutting the subsong off hard, do a soft fadeout.

loop = Boolean

Enable or disable loop mode. In loop mode the playback will restart from the beginning after the last subsong has been played.

output_plugin = Plugin

Set the sound output plugin.

rate = Integer

Set the samplerate in Hz.

refresh_delay = Integer

Set the refresh delay in milliseconds. Larger values will lower CPU usage, but things as subsong changes, fadeouts, reactions to keypresses and the on-screen display will be delayed.

silence_timeout = Integer

Set the silence timeout in seconds. When a subsong contains silence for the given time, the player will skip to the next subsong.

subsong_gap = Integer

Set the subsong gap in seconds. Before playing the next subsong after the subsong timeout, subsong-gap seconds of silence will be played.

subsong_timeout = Integer

Set the subsong timeout in seconds. When a subsong has been played for the given time, the player will skip to the next subsong. A timeout of 0 seconds disables automatic subsong changes.

verbosity = Integer

Set the verbosity level (default: 3). A value of 0 means no messages on stdout.

FILES

/etc/gbsplayrc

Default location of the global configuration file.

˜/.gbsplayrc

User configuration file.

output_plugin = nas
subsong_timeout = 300
