Content Test Application (CTA) Stream Configuration Overview
This topic covers the developer settings within the content test application used to override stream configuration settings.
Stream Configuration
The stream configuration section of settings can be accessed from the home page on PC and Android by clicking on the user's profile image and then selecting the developer section of options. On web, this section of settings can be found by clicking the gear icon next to the user's profile image.
Stream configuration settings are the set of settings that are configured on the cloud streaming service for your game. These settings include items like the available touch control bundles for the game, and information like if the title supports native touch. In the content test application, these settings can be locally overridden to test the behavior of your game in these different modes either while streaming in a private offering or directly streaming from a Xbox Development Kit. In order to ensure correct behavior of your game when played with cloud streaming, contact your Microsoft Account Representative to ensure the cloud configuration correctly reflects the capabilities of your game.
Enabled Input Settings
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Native Touch | Allows a game to directly receive touch events and handle them natively in game. |
Mouse and Keyboard | Allows a game to receive mouse and keyboard events. |
Touch Adaptation
The settings in this section all pertain to how touch adaptation bundles are used for your game. The sub settings in the menu are as follows:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Enable TAK sideload | Allows a touch bundle to be loaded from the sideload server address rather than from the cloud configuration. |
Sideload server address | Web address of the sideload server. Typically this will be something like https://<your ip address>:9269 for remote machines and http://localhost:9269 when connecting to a sideload server running on the local machine. ⚠️ NOTE: if the address is https and not http , then the Touch Adaptation Kit Command Line Tool (tak.exe) must use the --certificate-file option when executing the serve command. The Web Content Test Application (CTA) only supports https sideload addresses when connecting to a remote sideload server. |
Enable automatic refresh | Allows local changes in the touch bundle to be automatically updated in the content test application. |
Emulate touch with Mouse | Allows mouse clicks to be treated as touch events. This is useful if testing on a non touch device. |
