Hi,

Can anyone shed some light on the local favourites file?
Can anyone post a sample file?
Where should it be stored?

TIA,

Bart

You can create and store favourites files with the DMS channel list editor. See http://en.dvbviewer.tv/wiki/Channel_List_Editor

*local* favourites files should be stored on the device that runs Kodi. You need to copy it from the DMS directory.

The idea of the *local* file is to have different favourites on different clients/users.

Thanks!
Unfortunately, *local* is a rather vague location. Where does the add-on expect it to find?

Ah, sorry. I found out that I can specify the location myself.
