Where does Serviio store its temporary data?

Does Serviio use the "/var" or "/var/db" directory to store its temporary data before writing it out (permanently) to the serviio directory?

What Serviio files are stored in the "/var" directory (or any of its subdirectories)? Give me the exact names and exact location of where these Serviio files are stored in the "/var" infrastructure.

This is important, because I have software that I want to try with Serviio and if Serviio does store its files (temporarily) in the "/var" directory, then we are talking about a whole different ballgame.

Does somebody have a list of where these Serviio files are temporarily stored?

Re: Where does Serviio store its temporary data?

Did earlier version of Serviio use "/var" or "var/db" to store the Serviio library?

I have only used Serviio 0.5.2, but I have read articles across the internet saying that the Serviio library is temporarily stored in the "/var/db" directory. Did older versions of Serviio used to store data in the "/var" or /"var/db" directories?

nope serviio has always stored it library in the same place inside the serviio directory and as zip stated there is NO tempory directory of any kind.
