Documentation for settings.conf?

[jasnn]

Is there documentation for the settings.conf file, similar to the makemkvcon Command Parameters documentation, usage.txt file? I'm particularly interested in whether I can set the default profile in the settings.conf file.

Thanks.

I don't know about Macs, but I know on windows MakeMKV stores it's settings in the registry. It's quite easy to edit the thing however you like. I read on the myce forum that after MyBD extracted its hidden MakeMKV files from storage it added registry entries for it, then after it was done it deleted them.

This is what they look like in Windows:

Code: Select all

I can't imagine the MacOS settings would be any more complicated.

Thanks!

That worked perfectly. Using the key values from your Windows registry, I simply added the following to my /Users/user/Library/MakeMKV/settings.conf file;

Code: Select all

app_DefaultProfileName = "WDTV"

and now it always defaults to that profile. It also makes me wonder if there is a definitive guide to the settings options that can be enabled by editing the configuration files.

Don't know about the "key values" but the "code" can be accomplished in Preferences: Advanced->Default Profile->WDTV
