Default values file

It is possible to override the hardcoded default values for the various objects by setting up a default values files. Splash looks for such a file based on the ${SPLASH_DEFAULTS} environment variable, which should point to a Json file with the correct structure. It is ones responsibility to set this environment variable, for example by specifying it right before running Splash:

export SPLASH_DEFAULTS="${HOME}/.config/splash"

In this example, the configuration file should be located in ${HOME}/.config/splash, and look like this:

{
  "image_ffmpeg" : {
    "bufferSize" : 4096
  }
}

Here, the bufferSize parameter of the image_ffmpeg type (which is responsible for reading videos) is set to 4096MB by default, overriding the hardcoded value of 512MB. Note that the object type may differ from the type shown in the GUI, please refer to the following command to find the correct type:

splash --info
