    Where are all the pictures and info stored, and can i choose where i want it to be stored somewhere.
    I will not have it stored on my C: disk, rather my D: disk

    Thanks for this great plugin :D
    It's also possible to change the thumbs directory just for MovingPictures, without touching the XML files.

    Open MediaPortal Configuration, Plugins, Moving Pictures, Config. Then switch to the About tab, Advanced Settings. Then scroll down to Cover Art, Cover Art Folder, Cover Art Thumbnails Folder, Backdrops, Backdrops Folder, Backdrop Thumbnails Folder and set each of these to the directories of your choice.

    This is how i looks like in the xml file in My Documents now

    <!-- The Path for the databases -->
    <Dir id = "Database">
    <Path>D:\Diverse\Database og Thumb for MP\Database\</Path>
    </Dir>
    <!-- The Path for the Thumbs, like Music Cover Art, TV Logos, etc. -->
    <Dir id = "Thumbs">
    <Path>D:\Diverse\Database og Thumb for MP\Thumb\</Path>

    But thumbs and movingpictures.db3 are still saved on C:
    I have not done anything to the xml file on C:\Program File\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal
    What have i done wrong?

    Post your mediaportal.log file.
    It should reveal what locations are in use.

    Just to be clear, your mediaportaldirs.xml file in mu Documents still contains all other entries as well, correct?

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?
