By default, mm-control is running on QNX CAR systems. If you decide to use a different mechanism
for processing media commands, you can prevent SLM from launching mm-control during bootup by editing the
SLM configuration file.
CAUTION:
The version of the Media Player application shipped with the QNX CAR platform won't function properly if you don't run
mm-control. To use Media Player without
mm-control, you must modify the application
to use either a replacement service or the HTML5 media extensions to execute media operations.
Both of these scenarios are explained in the
Deciding whether to run mm-control section.
To prevent SLM from launching mm-control:
- From a command console connected to your car system,
navigate to and open the SLM configuration file, whose default path is:
/etc/slm-config-all.xml.
- In the configuration file, locate the
component that specifies the properties for
mm-control.
This component is the
<SLM:component> XML object with the name
"mmcontrol".
-
Disable the component by commenting it out (using the XML syntax of <!-- and -->)
or by deleting it from the file.
-
Save the changes to the SLM configuration file.
In all subsequent bootups of the car system, mm-control won't be started.
