All settings revert to defaults. This has happened on two FTVs running Gotham stable. I tried restoring a backup guisettings.xml that I had stashed somewhere else on the box using XBMC file manager but that had no effect. My settings were not restored. So I tried renaming guisettings.xml to guisettings.xmlold and restarted XBMC. I then deleted guisettings.xml and renamed guisettings.xmlold back to guisettings.xml and resarted XBMC again. But my settings were not restored. Is this a permissions problem because we don't have root? Im a little worried because this seems to happen too often with no way to backup guisettings using the file manager.
Edit: I copied the guisettings.xml file to my Mac and deleted it on the FTV. I restarted the FTV and saw that my settings were gone of course and deleted it again. I quit XBMC and copied it back from the Mac to the FTV and launched XBMC. The guisettings were restored. Its looking like a permissions problem to me. I'm surprised no one else has gotten corrupted guisettings or otherwise lost them.
I hate to quote myself but this has happened again twice since yesterday, one on a brand new box. I can't believe this hasn't happened to anybody else.
