My favorite skin!! Thank you for developing.
You're losing changes you make during a session but not losing them altogether? That doesn't sound like it's necessarily a skin problem, sounds more like it (kodi) isn't shutting down properly - for whatever reason.
Is kodi exiting gracefully, or are you having to force it when you lose settings like that?
I think, btw, you could save settings mid-session if you map a couple of buttons or favourites to unload skin and reload skin (built-in functions). Pretty sure that causes a write. Hacky, but...
Troggy, some more feedback for you. Been working fine with all my settings being retained. My Minix was powered off for around 6 hours yesterday, turned it on last night to watch a couple of shows and the settings were gone ... again. 30 seconds later after a quick copy/paste they were back and all was perfect again.
Watched it for around 70 minutes when there was a slight electricity/power blip. The Minix was powered off (like pulling the power lead) along with the amplifier.
I restarted the Minix and Kodi and everything was still there, no settings loss despite the incorrect exit of Kodi and the Minix, perfect!
So I am not convinced it's the saving of settings during Kodi shutdown that causes the settings to be lost.
By the way I have reinstalled Helly's Repo and now I am using the latest version of Xonfluence
But I am no expert!
