<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Some applications in the GPAC framework use a configuration file shared among modules and reloadable at run time. Modules may use the configuration file as well (to avoid multiple config files). This doc attempts to provide explanations for the different options.
<br/><br/>
The config file is ordered by sections and keys.
<br/>A section is declared as <b><i>SectionName</i></b>. Defined sections are:

</p>

<a name="RecentFiles"></a>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Section "RecentFiles"</b></span> <i><a href="#Overview">Back to top</a></i>
<p>
The "RecentFiles" section of the config file holds last accessed files (hardcoded to no more than 20) in the last access order. The keys are
the file names and no value is used. This section is only used by GUI clients (osmo4/wxOsmo4)
</p>

<a name="Systems"></a>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Section "Systems"</b></span> <i><a href="#Overview">Back to top</a></i>
<p>
The "Systems" section of the config file holds all configuration options for the MPEG-4 Systems engine.
</p>
<b>LanguageName</b> [value: <i>string</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the user prefered language in readable english. This is used to select streams in case of alternate content in an audio object.
</p>
<b>Language3CC</b> [value: <i>3-char code from ISO 639-2</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the user prefered language as expressed in ISO 639-2. This is used to select streams in case of alternate content in an audio object.
</p>
<b>Language2CC</b> [value: <i>2-char code from ISO 639-1</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the user prefered language as expressed in ISO 639-1. This is used to select streams in case of alternate content in an audio object.
</p>
<b>DrawLateFrames</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
If set, late frames will still be drawn. If not set, the late frames are droped (or executed for systems decoders) untill the decoder output is back in sync. This is by default on to keep better testing heavy content or slow renderers, but should be set to off when needing a better sync or monitoring skipped frames.
</p>
<b>ForceSingleClock</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
One big problem with MP4 files is that the notion of "duration" has been unclear for a long time, and  most content available (audio-video files) specifiy a 
wrong BIFS duration. In such a case the movie cannot be controled/seeked into. Another problem with ISMA streaming is that BIFS/OD don't use the same clock as 
audio/video, thus seeking the main timeline does not seek AV media. Setting the ForceSingleClock will handle both cases by using a single timeline for all media 
streams and setting the duration to the one of the longest stream.
</p>
<b>ThreadingPolicy</b> [value: <i>"Free" "Single" "Multi"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies how media decoders are to be threaded. "Free" lets decoders decide of their threading, "Single" means that all decoders are managed in a single thread performing scheduling and priority
handling and "Multi" means that each decoder runs in its own thread.
</p>
<b>Priority</b> [value: <i>"low" "normal" "high" "real-time"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the priority of the decoders (priority is applied to decoder thread(s) regardless of threading mode).
</p>
<b>TimeSlice</b> [value: <i>unsigned integer</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the target maximum time (in ms) of one cycle of the media manager (the media manager will attempts to call all the active decoders within this time. Depending on the threading mode this option can be ignored;
</p>
<b>ModuleUnload</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether modules should be unloaded if not used or not. Default: "yes".
</p>
<b>ResyncLateClock</b> [value: <i>unsigned integer</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the threshold after which late clocks are resynchronized to timestamps for OCR streams. By default, no threashold (0) is used and clocks are never resynchronized. This allows to 
resync clocks to the media owning the clock when the decoding is really too slow, and should only be used for debugging purposes.
</p>
<b>NoVisualThread</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether the visual rendering is done in the main codec manager or in a dedicated thread.
</p>
<b>DefAudioDec</b> , <b>DefVideoDec</b> and <b>DefImageDec</b> [value: <i>string</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies which module to use by default for audio/video/image decoding. The string is the name of the module to be used (same considerations as other modules, cf introduction).
</p>
<b>codec_<i>XX</i>_<i>XX</i></b> [value: <i>string</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Allows to specify default media module (audio/video) per stream type and object type. This is usefull if you have more than one decoder for a given type (ex, XviD and FFMPEG for MPEG-4 visual SP). The syntax is:
<br/>codec_<i>AA</i>_<i>BB</i>=<i>modulename</i><br/>
where <i>AA</i> is the hexadecimal MPEG-4 streamType value for the codec (04=visual, 05=audio) and <i>BB</i> is the hexadecimal MPEG-4 objectTypeIndication of the media (0x20 = MPEG-4 video, 0x40=MPEG-4 Audio, ...).
The string is the name of the module to be used (same considerations as other modules, cf introduction).
</p>

<a name="Compositor"></a>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Section "Compositor"</b></span> <i><a href="#Overview">Back to top</a></i>
<p>
The "Compositor" section of the config file holds all configuration options for the compositor (logical rendering engine).
</p>
<b>Raster2D</b> [value: <i>string</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the 2D rasterizer to use for vectorial drawing. Same as above, this module cannot be reloaded during a presentation.</p>
<b>FrameRate</b> [value: <i>float</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the simulation frame-rate of the presentation - this value is also used by the MPEG-4 Systems engine to determine when a BIFS frame is mature for decoding.</p>
<b>AntiAlias</b> [value: <i>"None" "All" "Text"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies antialiasing settings - whether the setting is applied or not depends on the graphics module / graphic card.
</p>
<ul>
<li><i>"None"</i>: no anti-aliasing</li>
<li><i>"Text"</i>: anti-aliasing for text only</li>
<li><i>"All"</i>: complete anti-aliasing</li>
</ul>
<b>HighSpeed</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether rendering should target speed or quality - whether the setting is applied or not depends on the renderer, graphics module / graphic card.</p>
<b>ForceSceneSize</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Forces the scene to resize to the biggest bitmap available if no size info is given in the BIFS configuration.</p>
<b>StressMode</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies that the renderer runs in worst case scenario, recomputing display lists and reloading textures (sending them to graphics card) at each frame even when no change has occured.</p>
<b>BoundingVolume</b> [value: <i>"None" "Box" "AABB"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether the bounding volume of an object shall be drawn or not. Note that the 2D renderer only uses rectangles as bounding volumes. The "AABB" value is used by the 
3D renderer only, and specifies the object bounding-box tree shall be drawn.</p>
<b>ColorKey</b> [value: <i>unsigned hexadecimal integer, formated as AARRGGBB</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the color key to use for windowless rendering. GPAC currently doesn't support true alpha blitting to desktop due to limitations in most windowing toolkit, it therefore uses color keying mechanism. The alpha part of the key is used for global transparency of GPAC's output, if supported.
</p>
<b>BackColor</b> [value: <i>unsigned hexadecimal integer, formated as AARRGGBB</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the background color to use when displaying transparent images or video with no scene compoistion instructions.
</p>
<b>DrawMode</b> [value: <i>"immediate" "defer" "defer-debug"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether immediate drawing should be used or not. In immediate mode, the screen is completely redrawn at each frame. In defer mode
object positioning is tracked from frame to frame and dirty rectangles info is collected in order to redraw the minimal amount of the screen buffer. Whether 
the  setting is applied or not depends on the graphics module (currently all modules handle both mode). Defer Debug mode only renders changed areas.</p>
<b>ScalableZoom</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether scalable zoom should be used or not. When scalable zoom is enabled, resizing the output window will also recompute all vectorial objects. Otherwise only the final buffer is stretched.</p>
<b>DisableYUV</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Disables YUV hardware support (YUV hardware support may not be available for the current video output module).</p>
<b>TextureFromDecoderMemory</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Allows video textures to be build directly from video decoder internal buffers. This may increase performances on some systems. Default is no.</p>
<b>ForceOpenGL</b> [value: <i>"always", "disable", "hybrid", "raster"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies that 2D rendering will be performed by OpenGL rather than raster 2D. This will involve polygon tesselation which may not be supported on all platforms, and 2D graphics will not loo as nice as 2D mode. The hybrid mode performs software drawing of 2D graphics with no textures (better quality) and uses OpenGL for all textures. The raster mode only uses OpenGL for pixel IO but does not perform polygin fill (no tesselation) (slow, mainly for test purposes).</p>
<b>EnablePBO</b> [value: <i>"yes", "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Uses PixelBufferObjects to push YUV textures to GPU in OpenGL Mode.. This may slightly increase the performances of the playback.</p>
<b>DefaultNavigationMode</b> [value: <i>"Walk", "Fly", "Examine"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Overrides the default navigation mode of MPEG-4/VRML (Walk) and X3D (Examine).</p>
<b>RasterOutlines</b> [value: <i>"yes"  "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies that outlining shall be done through OpenGL pen width rather than vectorial outlining.</p>
<b>PolygonAA</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether polygon antialiasing should be used in full antialiasing mode. If not set, only lines and points antialiasing are used.</p>
<b>DisableBackFaceCulling</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether backface culling shall be disable or not. If not set, backface culling is performed.</p>
<b>Wireframe</b> [value: <i>"WireNone" "WireOnly" "WireOnSolid"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies wireframe drawing options:</p>
<ul>
<li><i>"WireNone"</i>: objects are drawn as solid</li>
<li><i>"WireOnly"</i>: objects are drawn as wireframe only</li>
<li><i>"WireOnSolid"</i>: objects are drawn as solid and wireframe is then drawn</li>
</ul>
<b>DisableRectExt</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether OpenGL rectangular texture extension (GL_EXT_texture_rectangle or GL_NV_texture_rectangle) shall be used or not.</p>
<ul>
<li>"yes": textures whose dimensions are not power of two are rescaled except if hardware support non-power-of-two textures (GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two) natively.</li>
<li>"no": if extension is available, textures are used without rescaling. Note that in this case texture transformations are disabled.</li>
</ul>
<b>EmulatePOW2</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Enables power of 2 emulation. Ignored if openGL rectangular texture extension is enabled.</p>
<ul>
<li>"yes": video texture is not resized but emulated with padding. This usually speeds up video mapping on shapes but disables texture transformations.</li>
<li>"no": video is resized to a power of 2 texture when mapping to a shape.</li>
</ul>
<b>DisableGLUScale</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Disables usage of gluScaleImage, which may be slower but nicer than GPAC's software stretch routines.</p>
<b>TextureTextMode</b> (value: <i>"Default", "Never", "Always"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies whether text shall be drawn to a texture and then rendered or directly rendered. Using textured text can improve text rendering in 3D and also improve text-on-video like content. Default value will use texturing for OpenGL rendering. </p>
<b>OpenGLExtensions</b> [value: <i>string</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Read-only option listing the OpenGL extensions supported by the GL driver. Only valid after the 3D renderer has been used.
</p>
<b>StereoType</b> [value: <i>"None", "SideBySide", "StereoHeadset", "TopToBottom", "Anaglyph", "Columns", "Rows", "SPV19", "Custom"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the stereo output type (default "None"). If your graphic card does not support OpenGL shaders, only <i>SideBySide</i> and <i>TopToBottom</i> modes will be available.</p>
<ul>
<li>"SideBySide": images are displayed side by side from left to right.</li>
<li>"TopToBottom": images are displayed from top (laft view) to bottom (right view).</li>
<li>"StereoHeadset": same as SideBySide except that view aspect ratio is not changed.</li>
<li>"Anaglyph": Standard color anaglyph (red for left view, green and blue for right view) is used.</li>
<li>"Columns": images are interleaved by columns, left view on even columns and left view on odd columns.</li>

<li>"SPV19": images are interleaved by for SpatialView 19'' 5 views display, fullscreen mode.</li>
<li>"Custom": images are interleaved according to the shader specified by <i>InterleaverShader</i>
</ul>

<b>NumViews</b> [value: <i>unsigned integer</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the number of views to use in stereo mode. If mode is "Anaglyph", "Columns" or "Rows", the number of views is forced to 2.</p>

<b>InterleaverShader</b> [value: <i>path to fragment shader file</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the fragment shader file to use for view interleaving. Each view is rendered in its own texture. The shader is exposed each view as <i>uniform sampler2D gfViewX</i>, where X is the view number starting from the left (<i>gfView1</i>).</p>

<br/><br/>

<a name="Audio"></a>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Section "Audio"</b></span> <i><a href="#Overview">Back to top</a></i>
<p>The "Audio" section of the config file holds all configuration options for the audio rendering engine and hardware.</p>
<b>DriverName</b> [value: <i>string</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Specifies the driver to use for audio rendering. This driver cannot be reloaded at run-time, the complete system must be restarted.</p>
<b>ForceConfig</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Forces a given sound card configuration to be used. If not set the sound card will be setup to use 2 audio buffers of 1024 samples each. 
This may not work properly on some audio cards due to hardware latency, therefore forcing the config may be very usefull.</p>
<b>NumBuffers</b> [value: <i>positive integer, 0 forbidden</i>]

When config is forced, specifies the number of audio buffers to allocate (audio buffers are played in ring).</p>
<b>TotalDuration</b> [value: <i>positive integer, 0 forbidden</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
When config is forced, specifies the total audio buffer size in milliseconds. Be aware that the longer the audio buffer is, the longer the audio latency will be when pausing an 
audio object. The quality of fast forward audio playback will also be degradated when using large audio buffers.</p>
<b>NoResync</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Disables audio resynchronization: audio data is never dropped but may get out of sync.</p>
<b>DisableMultiChannel</b> [value: <i>"yes" "no"</i>]
<p style="text-indent: 5%">
Disables audio multichannel output and always downmix to stereo. This may be usefull if the multichannel output behaves weirdly.</p>
