Sorry to bring up the old "losing settings" chestnut again but I have had the problem for some time now and have created a settings.xml backup for when things do disappear. This means I get them back quickly and over write the incorrect file. I also know my Xonfluence settings.xml file is around 58kb! So after losing the settings and restarting Kodi again, I swap my 58kb file for the 48kb file Kodi has created.
I note that my Xonfluence can close very quickly and there is apparently no saving of settings. Today it took around 4 or 5 goes to 'save' settings after getting the weather to show in place of the Kodi logo in the top left hand corner. I would adjust the setting, close Xonfluence down and it closed almost immediately. A Kodi restart would see the Kodi logo still in the top left hand corner again. I would readjust the setting again, shut down (again it would shut down quickly), restart and the Kodi Logo would still be there! Change the setting again etc etc etc. Then after 4 or 5 tries the shutdown took around 15 seconds and I guessed my settings had eventually been saved! .... and I was right.
I quickly created a new backup of my settings.xml file.
It therefore appears that when using Xonfluence there is a problem with the settings file always being saved correctly on my Minix Neo X8-H box. There isn't a problem at all on my second box, a Tronsmart. The file seems to save there perfectly each time.
It would be good if I could 'force save' my settings.xml in Xonfluence. Can this be done?
