OLA Tips & Tricks

Plugin Config Files

Each plugin can create a config file (usually stored in ~/.ola ) to store settings. Config files are in the form:

# lines starting with a # are comments
key = value

You can find the available options by querying the plugin using lla_plugin_info:

$ ola_plugin_info

   0   ArtNet Plugin
   1   Dummy Plugin
   2   EspNet Plugin
   3   OpenDmx Plugin
   4   Pathport Plugin
   5   ShowNet Plugin
   6   SandNet Plugin
   7   UsbPro Plugin
   8   StageProfi Plugin
   9   Dmx4Linux Plugin
--------------------------------------


$ ola_plugin_info  -p 8
