MV needs to make several files on your dreambox:

Config
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/conf.bin
Configured: location is fixed

This is a binary file in which MV keeps all the configuration options. I don't recommend trying to edit it by hand

Details Cache
Location: configured in input menu
Default: /var/mnt/usb/mv if available, otherwise /var/tmp/mv Configured: inputs dialog

When MV reads data from all it's inputs, it can store the descriptions on external media so that memory is not filled, but descriptions can still be rapidly accessed.

Language File
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/lang.txt.?? Configured: location is fixed

This file contains most of the (non-error) textual messages which MV presents to the user. Different language files are contained in the archive, and one is selected by the user on install.

After install, MV uses the enigma GUI language setting to try and pick a file. If it cannot, it defaults to the English file (i.e. uses the filename 'lang.txt.en').

Skin File
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/skin.esml Configured: location is fixed

Currently, only for loading (non-channel) MV icons into the active skin.
Icon Map
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/icons.esml Configured: location is fixed

This file maps channel names in the User Bouquet to names of icons in the icons/ subdirectory. Please read the notes in the file for more details on format.

Input Definitions
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/inputs.txt
Configured: location is fixed

The input definitions file defines the possible inputs which may be selected by the user in the inputs dialog. See here for more info. Edit with care!
Favourite Definitions
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/fav.txt
Location configured: location is fixed

When MV reads in programs, it matches them against the definitions found in this file to decide if it should draw the users attention to the program.

Each line of this file is a definition of one favourite. The fields on each line are separated by a single space.

mhwepg
Location: /bin/mhwepg or /var/bin/mhwepg
Location configured: fixed, but you can move it somewhere else and make a symlink.

A binary file used to read MHW EPG data from a transport stream.
Downloaded files
Location: USB/CF/HDD/FLASH
Default: one of the above, depending on what is available
Location configured: inputs menu, subdir given in input definitions file

When MV downloads files, it keeps more recent ones to prevent repeated (slow) download. This is called a cache.
mhwepg output
Location: /var/tmp/mhwepg.out

When mhwepg runs, all it's output goes here. If you're having problems with using MHW, it's worth looking here.

MV text log
Location: /var/tmp/mv.log

Some error messages don't in principle stop you using MV, but would be annoying if they popped up all the time in a message box. MV puts those types of texts in this log file. At the time of writing, it's only certain problems with file downloads.
Post-download Script
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/postdownload.run

Is run after every succesful download, with as argument the downloaded file path. It's stderr/stdout goes to /var/tmp/mv.log.
Post-MHW Script
Location: /var/tuxbox/config/mv/postmhw.run

Is run after every MHW scan, with as argument the path to the scanned data. It's output goes to /var/tmp/mv.log.
