{anchor:config_basic}
h6. Section {{basic}}

* {{admin}}: enables admin mode ({{True\|False}})
** *False*: By default, the user will only be allowed to make recordings. Galicaster will operate as a [Galicaster Class|Galicaster:Galicaster Class]
** *True*: Apart from recording, the user can edit metadata, play and manage the recordings. Galicaster will behave as a [Galicaster Mobile|Galicaster Mobile]
* {{repository}}: absolute path to the working folder. If not specified, a {{Repository}} directory in the user's home will be used.
* {{export}}: absolute path to the export folder for operations. If not specified, exported files will be placed at the user's home folder.
* stopdialog: Enable/Disable a dialog requesting confirmation to stop the recording. Defaults to True. (True|False)
* quit: Shows or hides the quit button. (True|False)

Example:
{code:none}
[basic]
admin = True
repository = /mnt/videos/Repository
export = /home/user/Videos
stopdialog = True
quit = True

{code}

{anchor:config_screen}
h6. Section {{screen}}

* {{right}}: Name of the video device in the [track list|#config_track] to be shown in the right screen ({{None}} to deactivate).
* {{left}}: Name of the video device in the [track list|#config_track] to be shown in the left screen ({{None}} to deactivate).

Note that if a profile different from default is selected, they will be ordered automatically via track position

* Example:
{code:none}
[screen]
right = Epiphan
left = Hauppauge
{code}

{anchor:config_ingest}
h6. Section {{ingest}}

* active: Enables the connection to a Opencast-Matterhorn server (True|False).
* manual: Configure the method to automatically ingest the manual recordings. The possible options are: disable the automatic ingestion (none), ingest immediately after the recording (immediately) or ingest nightly all the recordings of the previous day (nightly). Defaults to 'none'. (none|immediately|nightly)
* scheduled: Configure the method to automatically ingest the scheduled recordings. The possible options are: disable the automatic ingestion (none), ingest immediately after the recording (immediately) or ingest nightly all the recordings of the previous day (nightly). Defaults to 'none'. (none|immediately|nightly)
* host: Matterhorn server URL.
* username: Name of the Galicaster unit. Defaults to the host name as defined in the OS, prepended by "GC-" if it is a Galicaster Class or "GCMobile-" if it is a Galicaster Mobile.
* password: Password for the account used to operate the Matterhorn REST endpoints service.
* hostname: Custom denomination of the galicaster unit. By default it's obtained from de operative system.
* workflow: name of the workflow used to ingest the recordings.
* workflow-parameters: pairs of parameter and value (parameter:value) to be parsed on the Matterhorn workflow, separated by semicolon.

Example:
{code:none}
[ingest]
active = False
manual = nightly
scheduled = immediately
host = http://fakeadmin.matterhorn.com:80
username = matterhorn_system_account
password = CHANGE_ME
workflow = full
workflow-parameters = trimHold:true
{code}

{anchor:config_allows}
h6. Section {{allows}}

* {{manual}}: Allows full manual control of the recordings. ({{True\|False}})
* {{start}}: If {{manual}} is false, recordings can be started manually. ({{True\|False}})
* {{stop}}: If {{manual}} is false, recordings can be stopped manually \-also the scheduled ones. ({{True\|False}})
* {{pause}}: Allows pausing a recording \-independently from the value of {{manual}}. ({{True\|False}})
* {{overlap}}: If activated, a manual recording takes priority over a scheduled one, meaning it will not stop when the scheduled one should start. Otherwise, the manual recording will be stopped and the scheduled one started.({{True\|False}})

Example:
{code:none}
[allows]
manual = True
start = False
stop = False
pause = True
overlap = False
{code}

{anchor:config_track}
h6. Section {{trackN}}


A section per device used in the capturer. Each section is set according to the device type: {{hauppauge}}, {{pulse}}, {{v4l2}} or {{vga2usb}}:

*v4l2*: Video device
* Admitted values:
** {{name}}: Name assigned to the device.
** {{device}}: Device type: v4l2
** {{flavor}}: Matterhorn "flavor" associated to the track. ({{presenter\|presentation\|other}})
** {{location}}: Device's mount point in the system (e.g. /dev/video0).
** {{file}}: The file name where the track will be recorded.
** {{active}}: Whether the device will be played and recorded. ({{True\|False}})
** {{videocrop}}: Margin in pixels to be cutted. Useful to set a 4:3 proportion on a HD webcam.{{videocrop-top}}, {{videocrop-bottom,}} {{videocrop-left, videocrop-right}} (optional).
** {{caps: }} GStreamer cappabilities of the device ({{mimetype=TYPE, framerate=X/Y,width=A,height=B}})

TYPE: ({{image/jpeg}} \| {{video/x-raw-yuv}})
Use GVUCView tool to know wich capabilities are compatible with your device
