v2.2.25 does not honor moving of userdata/addon_data in advancedsettings.xml

I have been uses 2.2.21 with great success.   Today I Upgraded to 2.2.25 to give it a beta test.

 

The plugin immediately throws and error.  (Attached as errorlog.txt)

I noticed that the path /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.emby/data.txt was looking for a file in the "default" location

 

However, due to a small size of storage on my fireTV I redirect userdata/addon_data to a different location.  specifically /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/

 

It appears that 2.2.25 is not following the substitution from the advancedsettings.xml, like version 2.2.21 did.  (Attached as advsettings.txt)

 

 

To verify this I copied the plugin.video.emby directory back to the default userdata area and the plugin works as expected

 

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.

Edit: This is fixed with the next beta version 2.2.27 which I just released (there was a typo in 2.2.26). Thanks for helping test beta! Let me know if it resolves your issue.

In general it's not a wise idea to redirect your addondata folder as a lot addons can't handle that properly.

Thanks Angelblue it appears to be working.   And to Marcel and Shorty, I agree that moving addon_data is not a great idea but I have been able to stick to well written addons that deal with it correctly or completely ignore it (ok not well written, but they do work).   Im using a AFTV and even though I have a fast SD card, I find that if I can keep almost everything on the internal storage the interactive performance is better.   As such, thumbs and addon_data the two biggest size hogs due to eye_candy on the interface are redirected.

 

Thanks again for the help!
