Why do I keep losing my shortcuts? Every time I start XBMC my video shortcuts are gone, not all the time but most of the time.

Elaborate. What do you mean by video shortcuts? Favorites? Bookmarks? Don't forget to also include a
debug log (wiki) so we can see what is going on under the hood.

I mean I go into system and create shortcuts for example ice films, they are they under the video tab, but when I reboot or switch off the box they are no longer there when I restart XBMC.

do you have xbmc setup to automatically start with android?
if so then try disabling that, and just start xbmc manually when android starts.
i had this problem on my android atv1200 and it seems that xbmc is being launched before android has got all of xbmc's required files ready. like the guisettings file for example. just waiting an extra 5 seconds or so before clicking on the xbmc app seems to sort the issue.

I've experienced a similar thing on both Kodi 16 and SPMC. Happens when I didn't properly shut down the app first after making changes to the UI.
If I want to make sure my changes stay, I have to make sure to exit out of the Kodi through the app. Then when I re-open it, the settings have stuck.
If I make changes and then happen to force close Kodi for whatever reason, like restarting or updating Kodi while it's open, then any of the changes I just made will disappear.

Im also having a similar issue along with a few others. I just posted a thread a minute ago with my problems along with shortcuts being deleted.

I am experiencing the same problem on my Amazon Firestick. Change all the setting and layout with the add ons I want, I close kodi and reopen it and it opens as if it's the first time and reverts back to default settings.

hi guys,
I found a solution for this. I hope it will work for you.
in kodi goto system - profiles - login - autologin - choose master user

I had the same issue. I found that if I EXIT kodi before shutting down or re-booting (by this I mean using the off button at the bottom left of the screen) I do not lose all my shortcuts or adjustments I have made.
