Banned? Interesting. Any idea what it does?
There was one time years back when I followed a tutorial on getting a program called Media Center Master to work with XBMC. I think it was supposed to look up the art on the fly or pull from a torrent site. I never got it to work, and I just figured it got overwritten years ago.
Could other XML files like my guisettings.xml, favourites.xml, or advancedsettings.xml also be affected?

I'm using CoreElec with KODI so sadly I don't think I have access to that stuff. At least, if I stick the SD card on my PC I don't... was trying to edit the add-on for TMDB to increase the 10 poster limit to something more. I've been using Kodi 18 for years, but my new box is, well, newer, so I am able to install 20.3 and it works, but having a few issues with changes I don't much like. Some movies are downloading just the worst poster art and none are useable. Refresh seems to bring the same artwork back in again vs randomly bringing different art. Was mentioned to save jpg and nfo files but that's a lot of work for a big database.

It sounds like you had quite an experience with the Kodi 20.3 upgrade on your Development PC. It's always nerve-wracking when your sources appear to be empty initially. Good thing you verified the sources.xml file was still intact.
As for the missing "add-ons" icon, it can be frustrating when things don't match your Media PC. Sometimes, updates or settings might differ between devices. You might want to check your Kodi settings to see if the "add-ons" icon can be enabled or if there are any specific configurations needed for your Development PC.

I exited Kodi and verified that the sources.xlm file was still intact.

Key with portable mode, is to launch -'Only'- with the shortcut that has the -p designation and path and that excludes the 'run' just after installation.
