QMPlay2 keeps QMPlay2.ini in ~/.config/QMPlay2 on Linux and in AppData on Windows.
Last updated
QMPlay2 stores options, module choices, and window layout in QMPlay2.ini under its per OS config folder. Playlists save as separate files wherever you put them. Stream addresses in YouTube browser history stay inside the same ini.
Copy the ini with QMPlay2 closed to migrate. Decoder backends install separately and get referenced by name. Portable builds keep the ini beside the executable instead.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up QMPlay2 settings?
Copy QMPlay2.ini from the per OS folder above. Save playlists as files too. Reinstall decoder packs separately on the new machine.
Where are QMPlay2 playlists?
Wherever you saved them, not inside the ini. Keep them with media folders. The ini only remembers recent entries.
