Default TVMC/KODI Move Downloads - Where?

I tried the new movie download feature in TVMC/KODI. Seemed to work
fine, but I can't find where on my W7 Home Premium the downloaded MP4
clip is stored. Anyone know? I wanted to remove it using Explorer,
but cannnot fine it.

Maybe the file name is coded?

Thanks

Not a Windows issue. An application issue.

TVMC for Kodi makes video piracy uncomfortably easy

Windows Search (indexer) is setup by default to scan only a few folders.
You may need something that scans across all the file system, like
Mythicsoft's FileLocator Lite or VoidTools' Everything.

Looks like you have to learn the program by reviewing it various user
configurable settings, like the default download path and perhaps the
naming scheme the application employs for the saved file.

The folks over in the forum might know how to use and configure the Kodi
application:

It depends on what is happening at the moment.

For example, if the movie is downloading right now, I would
use Sysinternals Process Monitor, filter on Events such as
WriteFile, and each event has the path of the file being
written.

So when I was fooling around with Win10, and was wondering
where the next 3GB file for Win10 was located, I watched
for WriteFile operations, and I could see a BITSxxx file
getting written. And that's how I was able to narrow down
where the BITS background downloads were going.

On the other hand, if the file is completely downloaded,
it might get moved from whatever is used as a download
folder, to a "final" location as part of whatever structure
that software uses for storing media.

At one time, the %temp% folder was a very popular place
for software to work, but that hardly gets used any more.

If the file is especially big (4 or 7GB), then you might
also spot the location with WinDirStat or similar.

For searches, there is Agent Ransack, but the copy I've got
here, isn't especially fast. But it is more thorough than the
built-in Windows indexing.

And I don't really have any utility that is "100% guaranteed
thorough". They all seem to miss the odd thing, but the thing
is, in some cases, if you discovered those things, you'd be
in trouble. I touched something which was "Access Denied"
while in Windows, by using Linux, and Win7 would no longer
boot afterwards, and the automatic repair could not repair
the damage. And the sad part is, I didn't write to the files.
I only tried to read them. I could tell they were special,
because from Linux, their "sum" was exactly zero.

So if there is something that is Access Denied, occasionally
there's a good reason for it to be protected :-) It's not
just arbitrary rule making.
