We had this discussion a bung of times. I have nothing against having a preference, but I am very much against making not-loading extcap the default. New users should not face a hassle to enable a capture interface, but existing users, who wish to improve the performance in any way, can profit from an option doing exactly that.
So +1 on making this option available big -1 on making it default to not-loading cheers On Sun, Jan 7, 2018 at 10:21 PM, Dario Lombardo <dario.lombardo...@gmail.com > wrote: > > > On Sun, Jan 7, 2018 at 12:02 AM, Stig Bjørlykke <s...@bjorlykke.org> > wrote: > >> On Sat, Jan 6, 2018 at 7:15 PM, Dario Lombardo < >> dario.lombardo...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> What about an environment variable that disable extcap interfaces >>> loading? >>> >> >> Or even better; a UI configurable preference to enable/disable extcap >> interfaces. >> >> This should be default on.
