FMSS - Can you move the vod folder to another location?

I have my server configured so that the installation is on c:, and the media files are on d:.  To begin with I tested the streaming files in the original installation location and this worked.

I've have now moved the vod folder - D:\applications\:, and updated the FMS.ini file to accordingly look for the applications folder on the 😧 and restarted the server.  The Administration console is correctly identifying the VOD and LIVE applications in the new location, but all the streams have stopped working . Any ideas why?

    The application.xml points to these two variables, which should be in your fms.ini file (they are there by default). So not really sure why they aren't there, unless someones manually removed them.

    You can put them into your fms.ini or you can change the application.xml so instead of

    <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
    <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>
    you have
    <Streams>/;$d:\apps</Streams>
    <Streams>/;$d:\apps</Streams>

    Which variables did you change in FMS.ini?

    VHOST.APPSDIR - stores the directory where all your apps are

    However the vod application looks for it's media in the filepaths pointed at by VOD_DIR and VOD_COMMON_DIR. So if you set these two variables to your d:\ folder and put your flv, f4v or mp4 files in that folder then they should play.

    I set :

    VHOST.APPSDIR = D:\applications

    Where are these other VOD_DIR and VOD_COMMON_DIR settings?  They aren't in my FMS.ini file.

    Do you mean the lines in the application.xml :

    <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
    <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>


    If so, what should the syntax be for this?
