    In fact, i have a silly question, but where did you specify the log path from MP config lol ? @HTPCSourcer
    I can't find it lol

    unless we cannot harmonize everything to correctly use the information as per the mediaportaldirs.xml

    All it needs is for someone to modify the MP settings management code to write a registry key/value - the new filters will read it and write the log files to a different folder - simple :)

    Yep :) that exactly i want to explain but better when a pure English explain it :)

    Easy does it .;) I do read your posts. All that I am saying is that I don't want to enter directory information by two parallel means. As long as this will be the case, there is limited value in starting to manually apply this to tsreader and dshowhelper only.

    You are not looking at the big picture here....
    This is a litttle bit unfair. You should know me better - or I would not have started the thread.

    So to summarize, with your addon, the user set the path manually or with an addon on C# side, the part is auto writed :)

    Yes, exactly :)

    The C++ code should be almost copy-and-paste into the other client filters (the logging is very similar in all of them), so updating them should be fairly quick.

    The config path cannot be changed. It remains local, i.e. in C:\ProgramData\...

    Bah, you changed it from first post ?

    Hello,

    I have changed the standard path for logs (and databases, etc.) to point to my central server. All logs are now created there, except

    So it means that C# need to implement the log path change, if not already implemented then, it will surely introduce regression lol.

    You asked about config...

    In fact it is well explained in the Wiki:

    Create a folder "Team MediaPortal"your local "Documents" folder and copy MediaPortalDirs.xml to it
    Change the path information as you like in this file[DOUBLEPOST=1440353232][/DOUBLEPOST]
    So it means that C# need to implement the log path change, if not already implemented then, it will surely introduce regression lol.
    Possibly. And that's why I suggest to stop the discussion. How many people are there who do you use the mediaportaldirs.xml to redirect directories? Can't be that many. I can live with this nuisance and/or apply the sugegsted workarounds.

    I would see more urgent tasks for MP1 than this one. But surely I don't want to stop anybody from working in this direction.

    Thanks :) ok so mediaportaldirs.xml is read and then something exist in code to read it, so we just need to add a if else to if that file exist then read/write registry based on folder detected and we are good :)
