Media Player - Relocate Metadata to NAS?

Hi,

is ist possible to relocate the Media Player metadata/thumbnail folder (or file?) to an external drive or NAS? I did that with XBMC and I ask myself, if that is possible with aTVFlash MP, too.

 

Greatings,

I was just asking myself the same thing.

Since the metadata is located here: /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Media, will the thumbnails be there too?

I ask because, this way we can make a back up in our computer and restore the preferences back after a firmware restore or somehing.

Is this kind of back up possible?

To backup your settings you just need a copy of this folder:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Media

In there is a folder .thumbnails but I have no idea, if the metadata is stored there.

 

I want to relocate the metadata to my NAS, because I´m getting “out of memory” :slight_smile:

Where exactly are you seeing the ‘out of memory’ issues?

Do you have XBMC installed by chance? Some of the XBMC add-ons can take up A LOT of space, so pruning some of those out would be my first suggestion if you’re out of disk space on the Apple TV.
