[QUOTE="hwahrmann, post: 154457, member: 10391"] Zebons, it is not the Music setup, which is changing the path, but the Visualisation itself, like for example SoundSpectrum G-Force or Sonique Vis in this case. However you should never rely on the Path being set correctly. We've therefore introduced in August last year the Config Service Provider, which makes use of directoy locations stored in MediaportalDirs.xml. This gives us the chance to change any directory location. In your case, you are reading/writing a config file, which should go into the "Config" path set in MediaPortalDirs.xml. So to address your file you should do: string myFilmsPath = Config.GetFile(Config.Dir.Config, "MyFilms.xml"); While the method with Application.StartupPath would work as well, this could lead for your file being the only xml file in the MP Root dir, if we probably choose to move all xml files to a subdir named Config for example. hope this help. regards, Helmut [/QUOTE]
