Set home folder path via cmd line - MasterCATZ - 2012-05-07 I would like XBMC to be able to be pointed to a custum home path with out having to create a sym links do the default location and being able to tell it where to go via a start cmd would be the best way ie) xbmc --homepath-location I am actually quite surprised I could not find any cmd line arguments for xbmc <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>special://bla</from> <to>smb://bla</to> </substitute> does not work with multiple profiles from what I have been able to work out. unless each and every profile is added in separately I am wanting to use an absolute network path so every profile can be accessed my multiple pc's on the network RE: Set home folder path via cmd line - Martijn - 2012-05-07 Did you create an advancedsettings.xml in each profile folder? Don't think this will be added because there will be little support and need for it RE: Set home folder path via cmd line - MasterCATZ - 2012-05-16 still getting issues even with adding in each and every profile / path mostly seems to be because masterprofile setting / string is used even when used with another profile its a real shame <substitute> <from>special://home/</from> <to>smb://Userass@RemotePC/XBMC/</to> </substitute> does not work ( crashes XBMC ) *edit* for some other unknown reason everytime xbmc loads up it makes all my settings back to default ie I create a new profile it modifies the profile.xml file I shutdown xbmc and when I start it again it makes the profile file back as default |
