Configuration¶

This extension has a number of configuration values that can be tweaked. However, the default configuration contains everything to get you up and running, and will usually require only a few modifications to match personal preferences.

Configuration Values¶

internetarchive/base_url¶: Base URL to access the Internet Archive.

internetarchive/username¶: Your archive.org user name. This is only needed if you want to access your Internet Archive bookmarks from Mopidy.

internetarchive/collections¶: A list of collection identifiers to show as top-level directories when browsing.

internetarchive/audio_formats¶

A list of audio file formats, in order of preference.

This entry contains a list of Internet Archive file formats. By default, only audio formats suitable for streaming are requested. Note that the Internet Archive also contains a large number of high-quality media files in FLAC and other lossless formats, but for sake of bandwidth (both your’s and the Archive’s), it is recommended that you stick to lossy audio formats for streaming through Mopidy.

internetarchive/image_formats¶

A list of image file formats, in order of preference.

This entry contains a list of Internet Archive file formats to be considered when providing images for Internet Archive items. Note that some Mopidy clients, especially MPD clients, will ignore album art provided by Mopidy-InternetArchive or other Mopidy extensions.

internetarchive/browse_limit¶

The maximum number of browse results.

This is used to limit the number of items returned when browsing the Internet Archive.

internetarchive/browse_order¶: The sort order used when browsing the Internet Archive.

internetarchive/search_limit¶

The maximum number of search results.

This is used to limit the number of items returned when searching the Internet Archive.

internetarchive/search_order¶: The sort order used when searching the Internet Archive.

internetarchive/exclude_collections¶: A list of collection identifiers to exclude when searching or browsing.

internetarchive/exclude_mediatypes¶: A list of Internet Archive media types to exclude when searching or browsing.

internetarchive/cache_size¶: The number of Internet Archive items to cache in memory.

internetarchive/cache_ttl¶: The cache time-to-live in seconds.

internetarchive/retries¶: The maximum number of retries each HTTP connection should attempt.

internetarchive/timeout¶: The timeout in seconds for HTTP requests to the Internet Archive.
