Hi!
Is it possible to have both the Kodi application and it’s application support folder on an external hard drive? How?
Thanks!

just symlink app support folder to external drive I believe, like this:

Code:

mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kodi /Volumes/mydrive
ln -s /Volumes/mydrive/Kodi ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kodi

ln -s /Volumes/mydrive/Kodi ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kodi

Thanks!
I should just type that in terminal?

I just tried to do this to a NFS share on my linux server.
The shares are automatically mounted on the mac inside USER on boot.
 

 ln -s /Users/SOMEMOUNTPOINT/Kodi /Users/mac/Library/Application\ Support

Kodi lods just fine, and all sources and addons works just fine.

But no content has been set on any sources and the library is empty?

I can rename the folder database inside userdata..and set content and scan. This will make a new database on my symlinked location, and work fine.

But I can not use the old database?

Can anyone tell me why
