Centralizing tvseries thumb folder (1 Viewer)

[Gixxer]

hi, is it possible to modify the default folder for fanart, banners etc to one on another computer.

i would like to set it to my server computer therefore each htpc does not have to download all files.

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\MPTVSeriesBanners

to

\\server\thumbs\mptvseriesbanners


thanks

Seems like a logical thing to do to me, and could be as easy as changing a path setting in the TV Series plugin configuration to one on a remote computer, i.e. set the "thumbs" folder to a shared folder (samba or similar), but I don't think there's currently and easily accessible way of changing the location in which files are stored. I know you can get the configurator to show you which folders it is currently using for storage, but I don't know if there's a way to change them. Maybe, if there isn't, this could be a future added feature? Would sure be useful to people with multiple installations!

can any developer make this possible? i think its an easy fix and VERY usefull.

The thumbs folder is controlled by MediaPortal, you need to edit the MediaPortalDirs.xml

<!-- The Path for the Thumbs, like Music Cover Art, TV Logos, etc. -->
<Dir id = "Thumbs">
    <Path>\\server\Thumbs\</Path>
</Dir>
