You can use any skin. Try going portable.

Maybe the proboscis is getting too large, or it's my eyes, but I can't find the portable version to download.

The search box is your friend ....

Ok, got it running, but exactly what do I copy over so that when it runs (I DID copy over userdata) it boots like what I have installed?

its the same installer, you just install it in a folder somewhere, then when installed create a shortcut to the kodi executable but put add -p to it, like this:

"X\KODI\kodi.exe" -p

Its this -p switch that makes it portable. Its loads better using kodi like this as full backups are much easier.

Essentially this -p switch tells KODI to store the userdata locally in this folder instead of in your profile, here is the location:

X:\KODI\portable_data\userdata

Yeah as I was perusing the thread and other threads, I literally stumbled onto the small problem I was having - I didn't copy over into portable_data, I just copied over. So blew off the directory and reinstalled and copied INTO the RIGHT subdirectory - all is well know, kinda.

I'll work on madVR later, but how do I set this to passthrough ALL audio? I have the ac3filter decode and send out AAC in AC3 format that my receiver can decode. It can decode all others by itself. This seems to passthrough everything, but the ac3filter isn't seeing the output from a AAC.

Are all these filters internal?
