Installing with customaization

burr · 2007-10-25, 09:03

Hello

Was wondering, i have certain files that i need to copy into the mediaportal folder when i install. These files i need to copy with every SVN or new release. For an exempel keymap.xml, is it possible if you have an rar file with a certain name install.rar inte the same folder as the installer. And then you setup the tree structure off the rar file so that the root is the mediaportal folder, so keymap.xml is in the root , TV4.png (TV-logo) is in thumbs/TV/Logos and so on. And isn't the file there it doesn't matter but if it's there the last thing the installer does is to copy these files into the mediaportal folder. This would be useful cause you update SVN and releases quite often and for maybe up to 3 clients.

Hello burr,

I backup my configuration like described here and copy them with a simple batch file

Code:

@echo off
echo Restoring MediaPortal...

xcopy /y /e /q /h /r *.* "C:\Programme\Team Mediaportal\MediaPortal" /exclude:exclude.txt

content of exclude.txt

Code:

exclude.txt
restore.bat

I hope this helps.
