 == Persistent storage ==
-Since version 0.13-8For certain operations, kissdx will need a place to store its own files. The persistentstoragepath option should be used to set up a persistent storage area for kissdx.
+* '''Since version 0.13-8'''
 The persistent storage area is currently used to support the Streaming history feature and the Picture Caching feature. Those features can be used even without a persistent storage area, in which case kissdx will save data in hidden folders in the media repository instead. Read-only media repositories (like CD and DVD drives) will then disable these features, because kissdx can not save data in those locations. To avoid these limitations and keep your media directories clean, configure persistentstoragepath to point to a writable folder on the server.

-Since version 0.14A PID file can be written by kissdx on startup. This will let users and other programs see which process is currently the kissdx daemon process. This file is not needed by any kissdx component. The file will be deleted when kissdx is terminated in a controlled fashion.
+* '''Since version 0.14A'''
 Default value: If the option is omitted, kissdx will not write a PID file.

 == Streaming history ==
-Since version 0.12-4The streaming history feature is activated by specifying a value other than 0 for the max_recent_files option. This will make kissdx show an extra history folder in the root of each media repository. Selecting this folder on the player will display a list of the files that were most recently played, providing direct access to play them again.
