On this file you need edit line 5, where you can put wanted camera number. This can be check via System Manager Hardware section or Cameras section.

After this you need to change lines 7 and 11 to all. This option to show all metadata what is coming originally and how that is formatted to Mirasys Metadata format.

If there is already know what is needed to find, then you can use filters to give text for search match.
