XBMC cache relocation

[Molle]

It seems that the XBMC cache can be relocated on another device with the following option (example):

<advancedsettings>
...
  <pathsubstitution>
    <substitute>
      <from>/data/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/temp/</from>
      <to>/mnt/external_sd/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/cache/</to>
    </substitute>
  </pathsubstitution>
...
</advancedsettings>

With this option the 'cachemembuffersize' option can be safely set to value '0' (i.e. cache to disk without size limit).

Thanks to Lewy for pointing out this option to me.

Hi, I implemented this xml mod with cachemembuffersize set to 0 (unlimited caching) and all the movies cached fine, except for when I launch xbmc, I received an annoying error "unable to load common cache", is there a way to get rid of this message??, everything is working great except for this annoying message. Thanks.

The commoncache plugin used e.g. by IceFilms doesn't seem to like cache relocation.
