[Portable Edition] Path settings

Where can I find the path options for the logs, localization, root, ssl, and data folders?

I believe this only applies to a new install.  They are created in whatever location you put the system folder.  Of the ones you listed only ssl path has an option.

It seems like the config files are being ignored. As every time Emby starts it makes folders in the root of my hard drive and from what I can tell in the log it is remaking and downloading things it has done once before, into the wrong location.

 

Windows Home Server 2011 (Just installed and updated last night)

Emby Edition: 3.0.5985.0

 

 

- Emby is extracted to this location and ran using windows service.

 

- Emby root folder

 

- Where I have configured everything I can to store data.

 

- What emby reports its paths as

 

server-63603785243.txt - latest server log

No, it actually makes the config files next to the system folder, so you should treat the root of the extract as the emby root and not the system folder itself.

Could  you explain that a little differently. Granted, I might understand... if I extract Emby to C:\Emby\Core then upon launch it would use C:\Emby as root and things like C:\Emby\logs, localization, ect.. would be made there?

In your second screenshot, it looks like you tampered with the System folder that was extracted out of the zip, when you should have just left it as-is.

I put the system folder in a folder called Portable Server on my desktop.  Then open system folder and start the server.

Oh! I get it now. When I extracted the zip there was a folder called system, which I renamed to Emby and moved. Your intention was people would extract the folder and leave everything alone. The newly created folder for the extraction is the root and the folder inside called System is the primary application.
