Hey guys - I've searched on these forums and can't seem to find a solution to this issue.
I have a Pivos DS media player that I've installed XBMC on under linux and everything seems to run fine. Well, apart from randomly resetting my profile when I reboot sometimes, but I guess I have to live with that.
The issue is that I have about 10TB of media I'm trying to reference with a library (including thumbnails, actor bios, the full lot) and the 1GB of internal space rapidly fills up. /dev/mtdblock4 sits on 100% and the device can no longer scrape anything, plus the CPU usage sits on 100% too.
I tried using a substitute path in the advancedsettings file, but it won't seem to save thumbnails across a smb share to a windows machine. I'm not even sure I'm using the right commands either because the wiki doesn't seem to mention anything about changing the location of the library files.
Does anyone have an easy, reliable way of telling XBMC to save all library files to a location other than the root partition? I can plug in a 8GB USB stick and I'm sure that would do the trick, if only I could tell this damn thing to save the files there instead.
