location of Media Library description in MacOSX

If I am correct, the MacOS version of serviio maintains the media library (description) in the application bundle (which can reside anywhere, but normally should be in the [~]/Applications folder.
Loosely speaking, you could call this "self modifying code". The application bundle shouldn't be written to.
The proper place for this is in [~]/Library/Application Support/serviio/,
or if one recognizes that only one copy of serviio should be running on one machine, then it would probably be better to keep it in [~]/Library/Preferences/[serviio/|org.serviio.plist]

This would also simplify updating the app (without the trickery of having to backup and restore the media library in the app bundle).

p.s. If I understand things correctly, for the Windows and Linux versions, the media library description seems to be in the proper place (according to the principles mentioned above, namely in the data space provided for all users, or for the user which has the app installed in his home dir.)

yes, you're correct. There is an open ticket for organizing things on OSX, but it was low priority so far.

Yes, I've only seen a few apps that you mod that way..
On the other hand the whole .plist business has it's issues with multi-users/etc.

This server has solved all my issues, quite happy with the OSX implementation.
I've tried just about every other server multiple times over the years and this one
dropped oobin and did proper flac->multiple-boxes-correct-samplerate-conversation-of-high-rates
where the others were supposed to and don't.
(Btw, noticed that ffmpeg is in the bundle while modding it, to tie into why I mentioned it.)

So, here's though why I needed to even fiddle with it in the first place and I don't see a option/etc.

I would like to not include my iTunes files in the files served and I never did add the directory, but
it's serving them.
(iTunes are low res, CD versions or mp3 and the only directories I have listed are flac
versions of vinyl.)

So, I guess a feature missing is some sort of a server-side order/excluding system, but barring that I
was going to just try deleting the library and starting over.

Now, I would hope there's a easy way to exclude iTunes, but I just don't' see it, maybe I just newbie goofed as
everything else was tooooo easy.

Especially since, tversity, ps3mediaserver, 360server, etc all produced static/bad sample rate conversion for higher sample rates
regardless what kind of flac fluc ing I did. (sigh.)
So, yeah, kooodo's to this server, it was faster and prettier too.

iTunes is not added automatically. Only shared folders are searched for media files.
