By default, mm-detect is running on QNX CAR systems.
If you decide to manually detect and synchronize media devices in client applications,
you can 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 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 insertions and synchronize media metadata,
as explained in the
Detecting and synchronizing devices manually section.
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 from the file.
-
Save the changes to the SLM configuration file.
In all subsequent bootups of the car system, mm-detect won't be started.
