Configuration

Running with the Qt mainloop:

Some source and sink plugins may want to use the Qt-based mainloop to take advantage of Qt features. To enable the Qt mainloop, run cmake with -Duse_qtcore=On:

cmake .. -Dqtmainloop=On

You will also need to edit your config to enable the Qt-based mainloop:

{
	"mainloop" : "/PLUGIN_INSTALL_PATH/qtmainloopplugin.so",
	"plugins" : "/etc/ambd/plugins.d"
}

NOTE: by default the glib mainloop will be used.
