Except for the common usage of Mobilemate, there are more flexible controling converting using its common configuration file “tce/conf/common.conf”. And, because Mobilemate's work is based on its converting configuration file, so you can also create your own configuration file using text editor without the Video Converting Configure.

This “common.conf” file is used for setting global convert options for all convertings. It is located in directory of “tce(TinyCore Extensions Directory)/conf”. The default whole “common.conf” is below.

Explain all options below:

PATH="/opt/mobilemate/bin:/opt/custom/bin:$PATH"

Set the executable PATH environment for Mobilemate.

DECODED_BY="LIBAV"

Set which decode tool to be used.

The available options are: “LIBAV”, “MENCODER”.

Mobilemate can use one of two tools for its decoding, the default is FFmpeg(libav), and the alternate of Mencoder. If you found the default “LIBAV” can't decode your source file(I have not met ever until today), try “MENCODER”. But, the converting time maybe need more than default when you convert multiple files at the same time.

guiconfirm="NO"

Set if confirm it after every step of configuring or converting.

The available options are: “NO”, “YES”.

The default option is “NO”. When you change it to “YES”, you need confirm every steps when you configure or convert.

MAXHISTORY="3"

Set the how many history configuration files to be kept.

The avialable options are: “1”, “2”, “3”, …, unsigned integer equal to or bigger than 1.

Moblemate will keep your history converting configuration files, the history configuration file is located in folder “tce/conf”, and its name is in the form of “v2vhistoryX.conf” for converting to video and “x2ahistoryX.conf” for converting to audio, “X” is the unsigned integer equal to or bigger than 0.
