Changing the Default Root Folder Location

The root folder is used to store recordings and VOD content. Over time the size of the content in this folder may grow significantly. If this folder is in the same partition as the machine’s operating system and the capacity limit is reached, it may cause risks to the machine itself. It is therefore recommended to change Zixi’s root folder location to a separate partition (not the same partition as the OS). If the partition is filled it will not disrupt or harm the machine’s OS.

To change the default root folder location:

1. Open the ‘broadcaster-info.xml’ file, which is located in the same folder as the Zixi executable file.
   The file includes the following content:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <ROOT_SETTINGS>
   <FOLDER>d:\ts</FOLDER>
   <MANAGED>false</MANAGED>
   <MANAGEMENT-ENABLED>false</MANAGEMENT-ENABLED>
   </ROOT_SETTINGS>
   <TUNNEL>
   <ALLOW>0</ALLOW>
   <MASTER>1</MASTER>
   </TUNNEL>

2. Change the path settings, which is under <ROOT_SETTINGS> and between <FOLDER>/</FOLDER> to a folder or to the root of a separate partition and save the file.
3. The folder location is displayed in Settings > General in the Root Folder field:
