Advanced device configuration options for Windows players

Where can you set these configurations?

1.x UI

You can set advanced configuration from the context menu of the device: Manage screen >> Set Advanced config

• A modal will appear where you can type or paste the config and send it to the device.

2.0 UI

Navigate yourself to Devices menu, select the device where you wish to set the advanced configs.

• In the details tab, select settings, scroll down until you find the Advanced config modal.
• Click on the edit then place the config to the box

Please note

Clear button only clears the input field to an empty json. Sending this json doesn't disable the previous configuration of the device.

The basic configuration structure is the following json array, which contains the actual configuration objects

{
	"configuration": [
		{
		}
	]
}

There can be multiple objects inside a singe command. For example you can enable both debug mode and memory watchdog in the same Advanced configuration json

{
	"configuration": [
		{
			"type": "DEBUG_MODE",
			"enabled": true
		},
		{
			"type": "AUTO_START",
			"enabled": true
		}
	]
}

info

• enabled key has to be defined, value has to be a non-empty boolean
• maxMemoryLimitFraction key has to be defined, value has to be number. The minimum limit is 0.4, the maximum is 1.0.
