Valid lines in admin.conf starts with:

"/" - Variable ( with / begins the skript name )

":" - Submenu (if a Name follows ':', then this one is the submenu name,
      a single ':' ends the current submenu.
      Rekursive Submenus are not supported, ie. a new submenu ends
      the current one.

"-" - comment as shown in OSD

All other lines are silently ignored. :-)

See folder ../gentoo for a bunch of examples.

The dvdconvert-plugin is also based on admin, therefore you can peek there for examples too.
