What are the permissions of the settings.xml?
SSH in and run:
ls -l ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/skin.aeon.nox.silvo/settings.xml

I just wanted to update real quick on something I just discovered.
(this is using Videodevil, an "adult" addon, but there is a support forum here on this site, so I assume it's not been blacklisted...)
Running Jarvis, Milhouse Build ~1024 I couldn't get any video's to play. Each and every one would give me an error about failing and to check the logs. I'm troubleshooting another issue with the Aeon MQ6 Skin, and as a solution I uninstalled that skin and went back to the default Confluence one. Now when I tried to play a video, it gave me a little more details in the popup warning. It said:
'module' object has no attribute 'PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER'
Now I got that error on multiple streams from multiple sources in the Videodevil addon. As part of my troubleshooting Aeon, I downgraded from Jarvis to the latest official OpenELEC build which is running Isengard 15.2 RC. Just to see what would happen, I loaded up the Videodevil addon again, and this time it played fine. So I believe something in the Jarvis builds of Milhouse, the loading and/or configuring of the DVD Player is at fault. Hope this narrows something down. Since I got called into work today, I wasn't really able to troubleshoot this further and get you those logs I promised. Unless I'm called in tomorrow, I should have the entire day off (minus a few 20-30 minutes to do some shopping [it's my payday!]) to work on this.

Yes, these builds are based on VideoPlayer which is a future replacement for DVDPlayer. The addons you are using will need updating to be compatible with versions of Kodi that are now based on VideoPlayer. I guess I should make that clear in the first post.
Edit: Clarified in first post that these builds are VideoPlayer based and some add-ons will need updating.

I just started playing with Kodi and Raspberry Pi like 2-3 weeks ago. Even if you included a blurb about that, I wouldn't know what it meant! So if I understand correctly, the Milhouse builds of Jarvis do not include the DVDPlayer modules and are replaced with a better software. That's great. I'm glad we figured it out. Now comes the tricky part.. (again, remember I don't know much of anything!) Is it possible to manually add these modules back into Kodi as an addon, or are they a base level feature that need to be added before compiling the build altogether? If it flat out needs to be rebuilt - don't bother. I'll ask a different question.. Is it possible to go into a "failing" addon's script file and simply change where it calls for DVDPlayer to VideoPlayer?
If nothing else, I'm sure these will be fixed eventually once Jarvis is officially being released and not a bleeding edge daily build.
Now if I can just figure out what part of Jarvis is causing the Aeon MQ6 (v3.0.0) skin to not properly display OpenWeatherMap's icons I'd be happy! According to all the troubleshooting done, it's a problem with how the skin is working with Jarvis specifically on Raspberry Pi's. The skin works great in Android and Windows systems, and the earlier build of the skin works fine in Jarvis. So I think it might be something else that needs fixed. Not knowing much about programming, I really don't see a fix coming soon.

I remember looking at the big rename diff and noticing PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER being replace with PLAYER_CORE_VideoPlayer, so that part needs actual written code.
I believe it's just an overlooked grep and there was no intention to break existing add-ons. I think we should deprecate PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER, but it should be added back and return the same value as PLAYER_CORE_VideoPlayer.
(Will look at it later today.)
Edit: Not saying that updating the add-on once VideoPlayer is merged is not an acceptable option, of course.

Wasn't sure about the swig stuff thought that was auto-generated but if both VideoPlayer and DVDPlayer can be supported in Python that would be great. Would be best to submit any PR to FernetMenta's master - thanks. (Although no guarantee he'll accept it - if not but it's small/unintrusive then maybe we can just cherry pick for the time being).
