MORE INFORMATION

Anything saved in Mari.conf (.ini) can be set by environment variable with the following convention:

 MARI_(group)_(key)

 where

• group is the group name all in capital and "%20" replaced by underscore
• key is the key of settings all in capital and "%20" replaced by underscore

i.e the channel presets (mtd) look up directories are stored in Mari.conf as

 

Channel%20Presets

.....

searchPaths=/tmp

 

This means the corresponding environment variable is
