I would like to know where OnlineVideos stores the buffer of streams, and if it is possible to change the location of it. I run my MP install on a SSD and use my RAM as timeshift for TVServer. Would be great if I could do the same with OnlineVideos.
Location of the buffer (1 Viewer)

OK, thanks. That's all I wanted to know for now. Would be nice to make it configurable if that's not too much of an effort. Modern SSD's should be able to handle high I/O, and the streams OnlineVideos handles are not that much writing I guess.

This works perfectly:
Open an ADMIN cmd window and type:
mklink /D C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Local\MPUrlSourceSplitter E:\
symbolic link created for C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Local\MPUrlSourceSplitter <<===>> E:\
Of course, my username is Frank and my RAMdrive is E:\ so these parameters can vary.
Now, the buffer for onlinevideos is written to my RAM and not SSD, which gives the SSD a longer life (I hope
)
