Just Upgraded to Jarvis, Can't Access System Menu - djmcnz - 2016-07-22 Hi there, I've just upgraded to Jarvis from a previous version (probably as old as 14.x, probably too old) and now I can't access "System" or "Exit Kodi". In my previous setup those two options were only available when "S" was pressed, they were not accessible through a menu (intentionally). Now "S" does nothing and I can't find a way to get to System. Other hotkeys all seem to work. As a consequence I can't change my skin or update my menus. Foolishly I didn't take a backup and I should have when I saw an alarmingly obscure set of options in the installer (I unchecked them all and only installed the Kodi core files). Everything else seems to operate normally. How do I access "System" in Jarvis assuming I can't do so through a menu option? I checked the "v16 Upgrade FAQ" and had a quick search of the forum but couldn't find the answer. Regards.

Thanks for the reply, I can't get to System and confused this with Settings. I need to know how to get to System and will edit my original post. RE: Just Upgraded to Jarvis, Can't Access System Menu - AshG - 2016-07-22 what skin are you using?

Silly as it sounds I don't recall but suspect it's Titan because guisettings.xml which was updated yesterday (according to the file system) includes "<skin>skin.titan</skin>". Goes to show just how stable and capable Kodi is that I haven't had to change anything in almost 2 years and have forgotten the specifics of my setup! My profile however (kodi/portable_data/userdata/addon_data/) only has "skin.ace.extrapack" and "skin.titan". In skin.titan there's only one file "settings.xml", nothing else. If I can't use Titan (or whatever I'm using) I'll need to go back to an earlier version of Kodi because my current skin is/was perfect for my needs. But my priority is getting my "S" key functionality back. Thanks for any advice. RE: Just Upgraded to Jarvis, Can't Access System Menu - trogggy - 2016-07-23 Stop kodi. Change that line in guisettings.xml to <skin>skin.confluence</skin> Restart kodi. RE: Just Upgraded to Jarvis, Can't Access System Menu - AshG - 2016-07-24 Titans settings are in a sub menu. Which sometimes can be a bit trickey to get to if you have widgets enabled e.g in progress movies, latest added etc.. on my set up you need to find a menu item without any widgets e.g video or photos then click down. You may then see the settings clog in the power menu... but i guess this very much depends on how your Titan skin is configured. Either that or you can do what Troggy suggested... i was going to suggest renaming guisetting.xml Kodi will then just create a fresh new one. RE: Just Upgraded to Jarvis, Can't Access System Menu - djmcnz - 2016-07-24 Thanks all. (2016-07-23, 02:18)trogggy Wrote: Stop kodi. Yes, that enabled me to get in, update the Titan addon and proceed. Thanks you. ![]() RE: Just Upgraded to Jarvis, Can't Access System Menu - trogggy - 2016-07-24 Welcome. ![]() |
