Hi All
Well I did a full update and messed up my XBMC 9.11 Live install
. It now just boots up and keeps cycling the large XBMC logo and mouse icon OFF/ON non-stop
.
If I have to do a re-install, what directories and files do I want to backup so I can ensure I keep my library, sources etc?
Thanks
/home/xbmc/.xbmc <- stores all data for xbmc
but before reinstalling, you could try renaming /home/xbmc/.xbmc/guisettings.xml -> /home/xbmc/.xbmc/oldsettings.xml or something, that way xbmc starts with it's default settings, in case there is something wrong in you settings.

Thanks a lot for the tip, I will give that a try!
to even go further if something fails, rename the entire .xbmc folder to .xbmc-old or something, if guisettings.xml renaming don't do any difference.

That seemed to be the life saver
.
I just renamed it, it created a new one and booted fine. I just setup all my settings again and all looks well. Thanks a lot!
