For editing kodi's config & XML files, ALWAYS use Notepad++ (standard Notepad will mess up end-of-line characters). It goes without saying () to make a backup copy of anything before making changes.

I am a Linux user, and would be using Mousepad for editing files.

Do you happen to know if Mousepad would work ok or not?

Hmmm... not sure, mrsfixit. I was referencing Notepad++ in the context of Windows users.

Sorry I can't give an authoritative answer, the only Linux I know is from hacking at OpenELEC ! And as you can read in previous posts... my youtube trouble is yet unsolved Tongue

This is a question for experienced Linux people...

Ahh, i found a program MobaXterm that fits my needs for accessing the ext3 filesystem via ssh.
Now i'm totally not a coder but when i see uukrul's patch i think its not just editing the new keys in the login_client.py?
Its like it needs to replace info from xbmc_system_version.py and replace/edit files in login_client.py

do you have to run this code in something? sorry for the noobish questions...

Figured I'd ask anyway, nothing to lose... ;-)

I'm in the same boat as dsenseb, I'm also using a RPi. So I'll be following this thread very closely to see if he makes any progress.

It surprises me that no one has adopted this add-on yet, as it is so popular.

Waiting, and hoping, for now... :-)

Not sure about Mousepad, but Gedit works well. How are you accessing the files on the RPI? Are you inserting the SD into your linux machine or are you accessing the RPI via FTP server?

Just SSH in and use nano.

If you are coming from a windows machine or Mac I would actually make those changes locally and scp them to your pi. Winscp is good for windows no idea about mac

JasonPell · 2016-01-17, 00:30

We should add these keys as variables to settings strange it was never done would have made a lot of sense

Fugu is the mac equivalent of winscp. or go to console and do scp manually. either or.

scp is built into OSX

Hi,
I think I am in right place.
I reinstalled my kodi on amazon TV. I used a lot search youtube option which stayed in memory. Mostly there were cartoons for my 2 years old daughter. After reinstallation and restoring my kodi addons I am unable to search anything. My wife is pissed, my baby cries, I am really frustrated. Please help me guys what to do.
I get all the time message: "your request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your..."
