Editing the guisettingd.xml file - ok nice idea, I never knew that was possible (to quick swap it selected skin).

-- move folder method:. In times past, I've done this, however, my File Manager UI was also botched and I couldn't see my files if I tried.

Accessing the Xbox one Kodi files remotely seems.. more locked down than in other platforms (correct me if I'm wrong), which restricted me pushing and pulling files to it to an extent. Eg--. Similar but not the same: I have a usb stick in the Xbox, I used it to display backgrounds in the Kodi UI. I was doing a bit of backup to the usb the other day. (Some files I had stored in the userdata folder in my Xbox Kodi) -- and, using the file manager in Kodi, I could create new folders on the stick, but not copy any files to it? I found that strange.


But in any event, it's done now, I've got a new 18.6 install, I've got Eminence2Mod installed.

I've downloaded AS 2.1.5 , but now, bizarrely, it's not even showing up in:
Settings->Player->Music->Visualisation

So now it's even stranger! :-O

That might be down to access rights / ownership permissions of the USB stick being set to the user account you set the stick up with on your PC which the Xbox won't have any clue about, especially if it was done with a "local" account, rather than a Microsoft account. So the Xbox may not have write access. Then again, it might be down to drive partition type / formatting. It is possible to format USB sticks as NTFS drives which will also support advanced NTFS capabilities (including permissions), but I think it's better to keep USB sticks as FAT32 for cross-compatibility (from my own experiences) between differing systems / OS types unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise.

I don't "do" consoles (can't get on with handheld game controllers), so can't advise as to any potential issues on the Xbox, Sorry.

Solved it.  When using external storage (eg USB stick)  Kodi xbox one seems set up to read media off such storage (eg jpg, mov, mp4, mkv, mp3, mp4  etc), as such it doesn't seem to like non  'media' files to and from the USB storage.    So it won't let you copy any .XML file either.     I renamed the XML  to .MP3  and it copied to the stick fine.    While I investigated other ways to transfer the file, I couldn't not get Kodi Xbox One's SFTP support to work, I wonder if it's not working.
