[. . . ] The file is created automatically on the first startup of the MediaServer - on Windows systems in the Windows directory, on UNIX and Macintosh it is found in the MediaServer startup directory. If you want to reset the MediaServer to the default configuration at any time, you can simply delete this file - the MediaServer will recreate it with the default settings. The same applies to resetting single configuration options - locate the option in the . ini file and delete the line from the file - on the next startup the MediaServer will re-insert the corresponding line for that option with the default value into the . ini file. Finally, options can also be specified as command line parameters when starting the MediaServer. [. . . ]
