Change vudu download location windows 10 free
To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. Ok so I've got this Vudu To Go app for cloud storage movies I can download and stream and I know where they download to which is a problem for most people. I want them to download on a Transcend drive I have in the SD card slot used for extra storage.
I've read somewhere a guy said you could change it in Windows with a symbolic link using a mklink command. So my question is, if I want to redirect the download location of these movies to this external drive from where they currently download to what must I do? On my drives list, this external drive is named simply "Transcend" and I've created a folder there called "Vudu" that I want them to download to. I've tried:. If anyone could give some advice on this that would be awesome!
Sorry if I've posted this to the wrong forum, in which case you could direct me to the correct one, but I wanted this to go somewhere where people with the knowledge to answer would read. Posted on Mar 2, PM. Page content loaded. Mar 3, PM in response to zaclane42 In response to zaclane First of all, there is no guarantee this will work. A symbolic link is usually as good as a regular file or directory, but not always. I suggest the following:. Mar 3, PM. Mar 3, PM in response to etresoft In response to etresoft.
Thanks for the reply etresoft. I tried the mv command with the quotations and it returns no such file or directory. Any suggestions on something I might be doing wrong?
Mar 4, AM in response to zaclane42 In response to zaclane You will have to copy and paste exactly what you attempted. The command line is very pecise. You can improvise as you attempted. One wrong character, and your hard drive is toast.
Mar 4, AM. Mar 4, PM in response to etresoft In response to etresoft. I put exactly what you wrote and it returned "no such file or directory". Not sure if that means where I'm trying to copy it to or if it can't find the file I'm referring to in the Library. Mar 4, PM. Mar 5, AM in response to zaclane42 In response to zaclane Mar 5, AM.
Apr 17, AM in response to zaclane42 In response to zaclane Etresoft, I am also having this situation. I tried to copy what you have in there, and it tells me no file or directory.
Could you help me out. Apr 17, AM. Apr 17, AM in response to etresoft In response to etresoft. I'm still learning the code, and I am comfortable with having to re-install OS X if I screw something up that bad, I already have that plan in mind, because I believe I will be there at some point by doing something incorrectly.
Well, the first thing you are going to have to accomplish is prove to me that any of those paths actually exist on your system. Type the following commands and then reply with the results. Apr 17, PM in response to etresoft In response to etresoft. These locations need to exist beforehand, as you observed. Apr 17, PM. Jan 13, AM in response to zaclane42 In response to zaclane I am also looking to change the download location and have the movies download to and run from my seagate drive to save space my MacBook Pro drive.
To make them run from the drive I need to redirect the Vudu App as well, I think. I have my iTunes movies running from the external drive because at present I have almost 2TB of movies and tv shows.
Use to build Windows computers but the MacBook stumps me for some reason. So any help would be appreciated. Jan 13, AM. Jun 17, AM in response to zaclane42 In response to zaclane But in case you haven't or others want to know, here it goes. I will also try to combine both the use of Terminal which can be intimidating and normal OS functions to make this work for a broad audience AND I will explain a little about what the Terminal commands are doing to help illustrate where others might be having problems.
So, don't be shocked if this isn't all accomplished in one or two slick Terminal commands, because for most people that can be too much and again I want this to apply to as many people as possible - I will only use Terminal where it makes sense. Objective : You want to change the download location for Vudu-to-Go V2G files on your Mac from the default location on the local HD to somewhere else like an external drive. Good news is you can make this change. Overview : NOTE: Any updates to the application may result in this no longer working and you will need to find another solution.
That should be it. When you launch V2G now it should start to download files in the new location. If you launch V2G now and it does nothing If you have an external volume called "External HD" for instance the then in Step 4 make certain you use the path in quotes, per the note in step 2.

Jun 17, AM in response to zaclane42 In response to zaclane42 etresoft did a great job giving the direction. This link works like an alias or Windows shortcut and in this instance it will make the V2G application see one location when it is actually targeting something else. You will then create the symbolic link from the old to the new download location and you are done. Details : In the Finder, open the drive internal, external, network or directory where you want the V2G files to be downloaded.
For this post, and based on your information, I address external drives in the example but I will not use Transcend rather I will use VolumeName.
