Opening a web address

What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

Play something that is not on your disk: a video file or a stream on the web, or a page with a video on it, such as YouTube’s.

The Open URL dialog over the library, its field holding a YouTube address, with Cancel and Play

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”
  1. Click Open › Open URL… in the top bar, or press Ctrl+L. An address you copied is already in the field.
  2. Click Play. A page takes a few seconds to read; Cancel stops it.
  3. To change how sharp it plays, right-click the picture and choose Quality; it goes on from where it was.
  4. The address joins Recently played, and opens from there where you left it.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • A live stream has no seek bar and shows LIVE; it is never resumed.
  • When an address cannot be played, Kaveo says why and what to do — for a site that wants you signed in, choose your browser under Site cookies in Metadata.
  • The sharpness it starts at is set under Behaviour. From a terminal, see Command line.
