Hi:

I'd like to know if there's way to change the location (folder) where MediaPortal (and TV Server) stores its user files/settings? By default, MP and TV Server gets installed into %ALLUSERPROFILE%\Application Data\Team MediaPortal folder. The troubile is, for most setup, the default %ALLUSERPROFILE% resides in "C:\Document and Settings\All Users" folder. For my particular case, I'm running out of space on my C: drive due to the increasing size of my MP and TV Server files and folder, I guess it's partly due to the large and increasing numbers of thumbs backdrops/cover-art that gets downloaded from plugins like Moving Pictures and MP-TV Series. I would liek to move the folder to another drive, say D:, where I've got more space.

So, my question is that is the a way to change the location of the entire MP & TV Server "user files" folder?

I can't seem to find any options in MP Configuration or TV Server Configuration that would allow me to do that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    Hi there :)

    You can't customize during installation, but afterwards, you can change lot of settings by editng mediaportaldirs.xml.
    Same concept as the shared database.

    Remember to backup your changed file for future upgrades.
