By default, mm-detect is running on CAR systems.
If you decide to manually detect and synchronize media devices in client applications,
you must prevent SLM from starting mm-detect during bootup by editing the SLM configuration file.
CAUTION:
The version of the Media Player application shipped with the
QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment won't function properly if
you don't run
mm-detect. To use Media Player without
mm-detect, you must modify
the application to manually detect device attachments and synchronize media metadata, as explained in
"Detecting and synchronizing devices manually".
To prevent SLM from launching mm-detect:
- From a command console connected to your CAR system,
navigate to and open the SLM configuration file, whose full path is
/etc/slm-config-all.xml.
- In the configuration file, locate the
component that specifies the properties for mm-detect.
This component is the
<SLM:component> XML object with the name
"mmdetect".
-
Disable the component by commenting it out (using the XML syntax of <!-- and -->)
or by deleting it.
-
Save the changes to the SLM configuration file.
In subsequent bootups of the car system, mm-detect won't be started.
