Configuration

Videoprof is very configurable - any attribute that is returned by mediainfo can be profiled. When videoprof is first run, it will generate a default configuration in ~/.config/videoprof/config.json (on POSIX/Linux systems).

The default configuration mostly codifies Blu-Ray specs as "success", DVD specs as "warning", and everything else as an error. While simple, it does contain most features useable within the configuration and can be used as a reference.
