If you can't create a valid settings2.xml without a direct path, it makes sence you can't create a valid channel.xsp without a direct path also.
CHANNELS_LOC
also affects the vars..
GEN_CHAN_LOC
MADE_CHAN_LOC
plus as you stated ChannelList.py and some others..
This isn't completely true... Prior to Jan 25th XBMC Gotham did not allow any access to json from addon_data.
Which is why users were having problems, this issue was resolved. Hence my changes...
Why is it you think there is write issues?? I haven't seen any issues with writing files.
You're misunderstanding the direct path issue. It only applies to Json (which needs a direct path inorder to pass security)... nothing else.
Json in Gotham has security restrictions... now that addon_data is on the whitelist... channels can be parsed and created.
