RPI (openelec 5.08) advancedsettings.xml - Keebler - 2015-04-05
i finally updated to the helix OS.
my advancedsettings.xml file only partially works.
NONE of the path substitutions work.
matter of fact as soon as i use the path substitution i get a boot loop.
i have read and re-read the wiki, and i am at a loss as to what i am doing wrong..
i am using an sql database on a remote server (which is not causing any issues thus far)
only the path substitutions. - please help
CODE
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/sources.xml</from>
<to>smb://{username and password}@192.168.1.85/_drive/xbmc/userdata/thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/sources.xml</from>
<to>smb://{username and password}@192.168.1.85/_drive/xbmc/userdata/sources.xml</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
</advancedsettings>
note: the 192.168.1.85 is the server's IP address followed by the folder tree to the file i am wanting to use.
thank you in advance

1 - a debug log would be helpful.
2 - hopefully you have the leading <advancedsettings>
3 - why are you mapping sources.xml to thumbnails?
4 - you've obfuscated the *format* of how you use your username and password (in addition to obfuscating your username and password)
5- did you read section 1.6 of http://kodi.wiki/view/MySQL/Sync_other_parts_of_Kodi

I suggest you read it once more, in particular the text in the orange box...
