Configure Media Server advanced options

The Media Server stores configuration parameters in the system registry on Windows, and in a configuration file on Linux.

By default, some parameters are hidden. To use a hidden parameter, you must add it manually.

View supported parameters

To see a list and description of all parameters supported by your current Media Server version, use the server's API.

• To view the graphical documentation, open a browser and go to: http://<server_ip>:<server_port>/#/server-documentation
