Second Kodi user profile resets skin settings
#1
Hi Marcel,
have you seen this before?
I have a second user profile in Kodi. When i switch from master user to this profile, many skin settings are always reset to default for this profile. Mainly the home screen layout type and the osd settings.

I have the same problem - my skin settings are getting reset after I've added a second profile for my wife. She uses Aeon Nox as her skin.
Strange thing is that it doesn't happen every time she logs in to her account, more like 3-4 times a week.
My only solution so far is backing up my skin settings every day and restoring every time my wife "resets" my settings with her profile. Big Grin

Either way - I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this problem (well...I'm not glad that you have this problem, but...you know) because I've thought that I'm getting insane or that my wife resets my settings on purpose. Big Grin

I believe this has something to do with the way you configure your profiles.
The first profile (the default) is the master profile.

When creating new profiles you must create new profiles besides the master profile.

I have the same problem - running Android. My 2nd profile always looses its configuration, and resets to default - happens on all skins, It is skin independent.

Really annoying, as I have a 2nd profile for the kids...and like to add all the non-relevant stuff

Thanks ronie! This has been mentioned a few times now as an issue. Good to know it's on the radar.
