hey all,

 

just trying it out and found that installing emby theatre installs to the current users appdata/roaming folder.. is there a way to make it install to c:\program files or something else ... is this a beta thing or ... as my media account that the TV is run on is a limited account and I have a remote connection I use an admin to do upgrades and installs on.

Every Theater user needs it's own install... I guess there's some reason for, but still it's weird.

 

I couldn't find a option to change the path. What I did is creating a link with mklink under %appdata% for MediaBrowser-Theater for each user and point it to c:\program files\MediaBrowser-Theater. I gave users Write permissions on the folder under c:\program files to make updating possible. Then I installed Theater, and the files were written to c:\program files\mediabrowser-theater. When there's an update all the users immediately have these updates. Administrator rights are not necessary. I use it all the time and it works fine.
