The Slingplayer uses the Setup Assistant and some menu options to alter its functionality. These settings are kept in different files, you can edit these files directly to affect the how the Slingplayer functions. In some cases, you can actually enable certain options which aren't available through the normal user interface.

Preface[]

The Slingplayer preferences is stored in text files; "Slingplayer.ini" and "SBCore.ini". The available options for most of the settings in "SBCore.ini" are kept in the "SBCore.sbd". There are some settings which are hidden.
