    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?

    I'm running 2.5 with the WMC skin. I have .mp4 files, along with the related .srt files in the same folder. I can watch the movies just fine. In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...

    I currently have two Quatros running, one connect, one duo using OTA antennae, mostly UHF fringe area, mostly cat5 local network. Hauppauge card retired long ago. I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...
