Engine reads configuration files on startup. First engine loads the main file is read, then engine reads user-defined file if it exists.

The reason to have two configuration files is because the auto-update system on Windows prevents main file from being modified. You can change the main file but if it will be restored to the original state during the next auto-update.

* main: %APPDATA%/ACEStream/engine/acestream_useracestream.conf

Alternatively, custom user configuration file can be loaded from elsewhere, by using "@" prefix to the file path in the command-line:* load custom "ace.conf" file from some directory: ''acestreamengine --client-console @/home/user/ace.conf''Works for both Linux and Windows versions. Engine does not check configuration files at runtime, there are only read on they loading once during startup. So of if you want to update configuration please follow these steps:
