Configuration

EZInfiniteYTLive is deliberately config-light: almost everything is set through the UI at runtime rather than through config files. This page documents the configuration surfaces that do exist.

App.config

File: EZInfiniteYTLive/App.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <startup>
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.8.1" />
    </startup>
</configuration>

This declares the supported CLR runtime for the compiled executable. It only affects which .NET Framework runtime loads the app — it is not a place for application settings in the current codebase.

EZInfiniteYTLive.csproj build settings

File: EZInfiniteYTLive/EZInfiniteYTLive.csproj

Key properties:

Property	Value	Meaning
OutputType	WinExe	Produces a windowed (non-console) executable.
TargetFrameworkVersion	v4.8.1	Requires the .NET Framework 4.8.1 runtime.
RootNamespace / AssemblyName	EZInfiniteYTLive

The project also defines build configurations for multiple platforms: AnyCPU, ARM64, x64, and x86, each with Debug/Release variants (see Building From Source).

Embedded resources (Resources\examples\*.mkv) are copied to the output directory (CopyToOutputDirectory: Always) so sample videos ship alongside the built executable.

FFmpeg path

The path used to invoke FFmpeg is hardcoded in Form1.cs:

private string _ffmpegPath = "ffmpeg.exe"; // Adjust if needed

There is currently no UI field or config file setting to change this at runtime. To point the app at a specific FFmpeg binary (e.g. a portable copy not on PATH), you must edit this line and rebuild — see Contributing if you'd like to turn this into a user-configurable setting (e.g. backed by Properties/Settings.settings, which is already scaffolded into the project but not yet used).

Default RTMP URL

The RTMP URL textbox (RMTPUrl) is pre-populated in Form1.Designer.cs with:

rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2

This is just the default Text of the textbox — it's fully editable at runtime and not persisted between runs (no settings file currently stores it).

Properties/Settings.settings

Visual Studio scaffolds a Settings.settings / Settings.Designer.cs pair for every WinForms project by default, which would normally back a Settings.settings → app.config-persisted user settings system (Properties.Settings.Default.*). In this codebase, no settings are currently defined or consumed — it's an empty scaffold left over from the project template, and a natural place to add persistence for things like the last-used video folder, FFmpeg path, or last RTMP URL in a future contribution.

Supported video extensions

Defined as a constant array in VideoStreamer.cs:

private readonly string[] _videoExtensions = { ".mp4", ".mkv", ".avi", ".mov", ".flv" };

This is not currently configurable without editing source — files with other extensions in the selected folder are silently ignored.
