RTV will read two configuration files:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``~/.config/rtv/rtv.cfg`` (or ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.rtv``)
|
||||
* ``~/.config/rtv/oauth.cfg`` (or ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.rtv-oauth``)
|
||||
|
||||
RTV will read a configuration placed at ``~/.config/rtv/rtv.cfg`` (or ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME``).
|
||||
Each line in the files will replace the corresponding default argument in the launch script.
|
||||
This can be used to avoid having to re-enter login credentials every time the program is launched.

The OAuth section contains a boolean to trigger auto-login (defaults to false).

When authenticated, two additional fields are written : **access_token** and **refresh_token**.

OAuth is an authentication standard, that replaces authentication with login and password.
|
||||
|
||||
RTV implements OAuth. It stores OAuth configuration at ``~/.config/rtv/oauth.cfg``(or ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME``).
|
||||
**The OAuth configuration file must be writable, and is created automatically if it doesn't exist.**
|
||||
It contains a boolean to trigger auto-login (defaults to false).
|
||||
When authenticated, an additional field is written : **refresh_token**.
|
||||
This acts as a replacement to username and password : it is used to authenticate you on Reddit servers.
