Shinobi is located at /home/Shinobi by default. You may need to be root to run these commands.

1. Open your conf.json file. You can do this either through terminal or the Superuser panel of Shinobi. conf.json is located in the main directory of the Shinobi folder.

2. Add the following parameters at the top of the JSON. 

"videosDir": "/mnt/yourpath",

The value of videosDir, /mnt/yourpath, can be replaced with any absolute path you prefer.

3. Save these changes and restart Shinobi.

Enjoy!
