Important: This is a required installation step and MUST be done first.
Start >> All Programs >> Recorded TV Manager >> Config MetaData
PATH
The defaultPATH is the path on the local machine where the MetaData files will be saved. See Locating the MetaData XML files.
The PATH is the path to the Recorded TV Manager data files, specifically the Folder List file, folders.xml.
On Windows Home Server networks, the PATH will point to the Software share on the Home Server. Otherwise, the PATH will be set to the defaultPATH on the local machine.
Windows Home Server
This section only applies when the host machine is on a Windows Home Server network with the Recorded TV Manager Add-in installed. For all other cases, ignore this and don't change the name.
Some language versions of Windows Home Server localize the name of the Software share on the Server. See Localizing the Software Share Name.
MetaData
The MetaData Path is the full path to the MetaData XML files.
The MetaData Share is the share name for the MetaData files. See Setup the MetaData Share.
Important Information for non-English versions of Windows Home Server.
Localizing the Software Share Name
Important: This information applies to Windows Home Server (WHS) installations only.
The MetaData Service needs to know the name of the software share on the WHS. The default name of the Windows Home Server software share is "Software". However, some non-English versions of WHS localize this name to something else. For example, on the French version of WHS the name of the software share is "Logiciel".
Enter the localized name for the software share and then click Apply.
Note that if you enter an incorrect share name, the program will not apply the change. Use the exit button in the upper right-hand corner of the window to close the program.
This information is stored in the registry on the local machine:
