Code:edit2: you can modify the config-file of sibplayer too. it's located under ~/.config/sibplayer/SiBPlayer.conf go there with x terminal and use vi to change the path manually.
(you could even try to just delete this file and see what happens. if SiB doesn't do anything at all afterwards just uninstall and install newly. that SHOULD work.)
Did not spot the file/folder in mass storage so think I need to delete it from within the phone.
Got a simple walk through for me so I can learn something new today?

To remove the SiBPlayer.conf start the X Terminal and type the following (case is important):
rm .config/sibplayer/SiBPlayer.conf
If you start SiB afterwards it will recreate the file with the default search folder (/home/user/MyDocs/Videos)
rm .config/sibplayer/SiBPlayer.conf

when you start a terminal your "at home" or short ~ ^^
"cd .." -> go to parent folder
"cd foldername" -> open folder with name 'foldername'
"ls" -> list of files/folders in actual folder
"ls -a" -> same as above + show hidden files/folders
attention: linux is case-sensitive! so "folder" isn't the same as "Folder"
so type in "cd .config/sibplayer/"
(use the tab shortcut after .c and /s to autocomplete ^^)
to remove the file use "rm SiBPlayer.conf"
(here you can use tab after S as well)
to edit the file use "vi SiBPlayer.conf"
once the file is open hit Escape.
then tap i on your keyboard (stands for insert).
navigate with cursors to the place you want to write and just write.
when you're finished tab Escape again and ":wq!" (for write&quite+force).
(as you can imagine Escape triggers between option-mode and edit-mode)
you can install a non-terminal editor too - as the next posting will say - but vi is pure linux. *laughing*
EDIT: of course someone was faster, but i think this could give you a short instruction to the terminal navigation. ^^

To modify that file, I recommend yo install 2 apps.
1. rootsh
2. leafpad
Then launch to xterminal app.
From the prompt, type the following.
root
leafpad /home/user/.config/sibplayer/SiBPlayer.conf
It will launch leafpad app with that file.
You can modify the file like notepad then just save. Done.
You can now close the app and also xterminal.
--
To delete that file:
rm /home/user/.config/sibplayer/SiBPlayer.conf
FYI - Just like DOS prompt in WIndows, you can press "Tab" to complete the paths for quicker navigation and less syntax errors.
1. rootsh
2. leafpad
Then launch to xterminal app.
From the prompt, type the following.
root
leafpad /home/user/.config/sibplayer/SiBPlayer.conf

I also did not want to take any risks and delete that file first before knowing what would happen so I just uninstalled the application. Was going to delete the file after and then install it again + reboot.

Just a heads up:
SiB does not seem to work any more with the latest QT4.6 updates (today, I think). When opening it, it just stays loading for some seconds and closes then.
When starting it from xterm it gives this:
And I think this is exactly what Quim today wrote in the "QT for Maemo 5 goes beta" announcement (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41328):
I hope this can easily be fixed 
Best regards,
Corwin

Code:
./sib: symbol lookup error: ./sib: undefined symbol: _ZN22QMaemo5KineticScrollerC1EP19QAbstractScrollArea
QMaemo5KineticScroller is not needed anymore and was removed. To override scrolling behavior or to disable it altogether, QAbstractKineticScroller can be used
Best regards,

Now I'm scared to update my QT to 4.6 on my N900.
If I update it and if SiB becomes broken, can I downgrade QT again?
