Favourites.xml issue - MickK62 - 2017-03-14 First up let me say fantastic skin - easy to use with a mouse and pleasant on the eyes. I find it much nicer than Estuary. I seem to have a problem with favourites.xml - specifically, Black Nova crashes and gets corrupted because it can't find my path substituted favourites.xml file located on my server - instead it looks in the local profile directory, As I'm not a skinner, I'm not sure whether it's Black Nova or an addon script it uses. This is the relevant section in the kodi error log: Code: 10:36:35.463 T:8264 NOTICE: ADDONS: Using repository repository.xbmc.org And this is the snippet of my advancedsettings.xml file that has the path substitution: Code: <pathsubstitution> For reference I am using Kodi 17.1 RC1 with a MySQL setup (individual DB's located on a local MySQL server). I have also put user playlists and favourites on the local server so users can move from device to device without having to redo playlists & favourites.[/php] Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in the script somewhere? Favourites.xml issue - Tgxcorporation - 2017-03-14 I think this is not a skin issue (you can try with another skin), but a general Kodi issue. You'd better ask in the general support section: http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=111 RE: Favourites.xml issue - trogggy - 2017-03-14 The skin is using script.favourites - path subs won't work within addons, so script.favourites is looking in userdata and can't find favourites.xml - this will happen on any skin that uses script.favourites. Hacky workaround - stick another favourites.xml in userdata (you could maybe run a python script on startup to sync this with the pathsubbed one); something else I haven't thought of. Or don't pathsub favourites would be the easy option. RE: Favourites.xml issue - MickK62 - 2017-03-14 Thanks guys, I'll just remove path subs. |
