Configuration

offline = false
default_skip_threshold = 3
default_playlists =
  spotify:playlist:79inBfAlnfUB7i5kRthmWL
disable_analytics = false

The following configuration values are available:

• pibox/enabled: If the pibox extension should be enabled or not. Defaults to true.

• pibox/offline: If the extension should be used offline. Defaults to false.

• pibox/default_skip_threshold: The default number of votes required to skip a track. Defaults to 3.
