# AllowedEngineOutputDirectories

A list of directories that Media Server engines are permitted to write output to. Media Server engines can only write to directories that appear in the list, and their sub-directories.

A rolling buffer encoder can always write to the default RootPath that is configured in the rolling buffer configuration file. However, if a user wants to specify an alternate path for a new rolling buffer (by setting the `RootPath` parameter in an AddStream action), the path must be included in this list, or be a sub-directory of a path that is included in this list.

The paths that you specify must be absolute, and you cannot specify the working directory (that contains `mediaserver.exe`).

Type: | String (list)
Default: | Media Server can write to any directory. OpenText recommends that you set this parameter.
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Paths
Example: | `AllowedEngineOutputDirectories0=C:\MediaServer\output AllowedEngineOutputDirectories1=E:\MediaAnalysisOutput`
