thumbs tag ignored in MediaPortalDirs.xml (1 Viewer)

[erikture]

Hello!

First I must appologise not sending a bug report, but the tracker didnt let me.

I have tried to use a central database and thumbs folder for my both MediaPortal computors changing the file MediaPortalDirs.xml file. For the database it works fine for MovingPictures but it looks to me that MovingPictures ignores the change of the Thumbs path and uses the default on no mather what I enter for that attribute.

<!-- The Path for the Thumbs, like Music Cover Art, TV Logos, etc. -->
<Dir id = "Thumbs">
<Path>\\HTPC\Public\MediaPortal\Thumbs\</Path>
</Dir>

You can modify these paths via the Advanced Settings Dialog.

Ok!

But I still thinks it is a bug.
Why use the database tag and not the thumbs tag?
I think that you in the advanced setting should be able to change the default value, ie the on in the MediaPortalDirs.xml file. If that value is changed then that value should be the default one to change in the advanced settings. TV-series plugin uses both database and thumbs tag.

Well it uses the value in the XML on initial launch, but after that it just stores it in the database. You are right though this is not very intuitive, we will change it.
