Hi Folks!

Part of my project to have a "shared" Freevo installation, I'm trying to figure
out the best way of sharing or not sharing certain stuff.  I'm hoping to get
some clarification on my understanding (or lack thereof) of some of the Freevo
directories.

OS_STATICDIR, FREEVO_STATICDIR
OS_LOGDIR, FREEVO_LOGDIR

As I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong), OS_STATICDIR will default
to /var/lib, and FREEVO_STATICDIR will be either /var/lib/freevo or ~/.freevo
and /var/log and ~/.freevo/log for the LOGDIRs.  Does setting the FREEVO one
override the OS one?  Should both be set?

>From what I understand, the cache directory will go, by default, under
FREEVO_STATICDIR, as will the TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE, TV_LOGOS, XMLTV_FILE,
Favourites, etc.  I'm not certain as to the exact purpose of the overlay
directory though, and how it differs from the cache options.  Could someone
explain it for me?

As for a multi-Freevo environment, I'm figuring that the logs should be on the
local machine, as should the web server cache.  I'm guessing that the
FREEVO_STATICDIR could be shared,  with overrides for things that shouldn't be
shared (in my case, I have one box recording with a Digital cable tuner and
separate XMLTV file from the other analog tuner box.  So, is there anything
other than TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE that shouldn't be shared in that case?  Where are
recordserver lockfiles placed?

Are there any other directories I should be aware of?

Thanks for the help!  I'll roll all this stuff up for a wiki entry soon...

/Mike
