not reading advancedsettings.xml in userdata dir? - cjordahl - 2015-07-26 It appears that Kodi 15.0 is not reading my advancedsettings.xml file from my userdata directory. Is this a bug? Can I correct it with settings somewhere? (For now I will move my advancedsettings.xml file to /usr/share/kodi/system/) Here are snippets from my log files, from current version as well as two older versions. It is clear my previous two versions loaded the file correctly (from special://profile/advancedsettings.xml), but current Kodi 15.0 does not attempt to load it.

RE: not reading advancedsettings.xml in userdata dir? - tallpr24 - 2015-07-29 hi guys. first time posting here. i have just upgraded my adroid box from 14.2 to 15.0 and now it looks like kodi is not reading my advancedsettings.xml. None of my movies will buffer the way they did on 14.2. here is a copy of my file : <advancedsettings> <network> <buffermode>1</buffermode> <cachemembuffersize>357286400</cachemembuffersize> <readbufferfactor>20</readbufferfactor> </network> </advancedsettings> the only reason i use the advance settings file is for buffering. here are the permissions i have for the file. any help with this will be greatly appreciate it. RE: not reading advancedsettings.xml in userdata dir? - tallpr24 - 2015-07-29 i also tried changing it the permissions to rw-r--r-- but that did not work. RE: not reading advancedsettings.xml in userdata dir? - tallpr24 - 2015-07-29 i was able to fix my problem by copying the Advancedsettings.xml to the following path /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata the only thing i did different is install the kodi 15 from the google play store. in the past when installing from downloaded file it was going to a different path. Please pass this info on to others as i know many will have this problem if installing form google play store. after i did this, everything works great, no buffer issues and kodi is now reading my Advancedsettings.xml the way it did before i upgraded from kodi 14.2 |
