Configuration file

There are none. Setting default players or views is supported via aliases in your shell.

For example, the following alias for bash/zsh/etc.

alias rbg2player='rbg2player -v presentation'

leads to loading the presentation view per default.

These aliases can be overridden by simply providing a different option.

Examples

1. Opens the provided URL in the default player VLC, with the default combined view.

   $ rbg2player <URL>
   

2. Opens the provided URL in the default player VLC, with only the presentation view.

   $ rbg2player -v presentation <URL>
   

3. Opens the provided URL in the player IINA, with the default combined view.

   $ rbg2player -p iina <URL>
