Moving the XBMC folder in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\xbmc to another loca - User 182116 - 2014-09-02 Having installed XBMC and configured all the addons etc, I find that it is taking up more space than I would like. I currently have windows 8.1 and all the programs installed on the C: drive and a secondary D: partition for my data. I would like to move the rather large xbmc folder to the D: drive such that when I run xbmc it will refer to the new location for all the userdata etc. I have read that this can be done via advanced.xml and symlinks (tried but it didn't work) RE: Moving the XBMC folder in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\xbmc to another loca - teeedubb - 2014-09-02 To use the -p swotch you need to have xbmc installed in the directory you want to use and all the user data will be saved in a directory called portable_data. Copy the contents of ...Roaming/XBMC/ to that.

Copy the contents of ...Roaming/XBMC/ to that. Thanks for the info. It will come in handy for something else I am planning. For this, somebody came up with a solution for a move to my D: drive Rename the ......\roaming\xbmc folder to XBMC.old Open a command line as administrator and use the command mklink /D C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC D:\XBMC Move the contents of xbmc.old folder to its new location (D:\XBMC) Delete the xbmc.oldfolder R: Moving the XBMC folder in c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\xbmc to another loca - odoll - 2014-12-31 Hi, I'm using Windows (8.1) Roaming profiles and I want to avoid, that 'unnecessary' data of my 'users' (family members) get sync'ed/cp'ed, each time while they log on/off to their PCs, as the amount of data transfered is slowing down the process. I read the Wiki about Path Substitution via the advancedsettings.xml configuration file, but still don't get it working as expected. First I'm a bit confused as I find examples referring either to special://profile/Thumbnails/ or versus special://thumbnails/. I think the latter is the right path to use? Second, as I want to generically move e.g. the Thumbnails directory from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\Thumbnails to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Kodi\userdata\Thumbnails I tried something Code: <advancedsettings> |
