I started to play around with the <pathsubstitution> features in an effort to make life easier for me when wiping the builds and adding new ones.. My goal being just to push advancedsettings.xml over and be done..

This is the pathsubstitution segment from the advancedsettings.xml file.. if I uncomment the passwords and/or the mediasources.xml sections, XBMC no longer starts.. the debug log doesn't show squat for a reason, either. What am I doing wrong? Thankfully, the sources substitution works.. I don't know if the profiles.xml subs actually does anything.. I was trying to figure out a way to read the "masterlock" info from a centralized config file.. not sure that's feasible though, since those settings appear to be strewn across lots of files.. one being the guisettings.xml, which shan't be centralized..

Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?

Code:

<pathsubstitution>
                <substitute>
                        <from>special://profile/sources.xml</from>
                        <to>smb://user:[email protected]/xbmc/userdata/sources.xml</to>
                </substitute>
                <substitute>
                        <from>special://profile/profiles.xml</from>
                        <to>smb://user:[email protected]/xbmc/userdata/profiles.xml</to>
                </substitute>
<!--
                <substitute>
                        <from>special://profile/passwords.xml</from>
                        <to>smb://user:[email protected]/xbmc/userdata/passwords.xml</to>
                </substitute>
                <substitute>
                        <from>special://profile/mediasources.xml</from>
                        <to>smb://user:[email protected]/xbmc/userdata/mediasources.xml</to>
                </substitute>
-->
        </pathsubstitution>

Wondering if the special:// paths do not work on AFTV. Can you try something like

Code:

/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/

This will be a wonderful solution for a device with limited storage capacity. Let us know if you get this working.

BTW, here is another thread on the issue http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=181063

What worked for me (on Gotham) was to use the xbmc "special" protocol. In my case... special://thumbnails. That worked like a charm... however, when I tried to apply this same pathsub to a second profile it failed.

I tried special://thumbnails in the advancedsettings.xml on that profile as well as special://profile/thumbnails which, by their definition, should have pointed directly to the active profile.

NOTE: This does introduce a little lag when pulling up thumbnails/fanart while browsing. But to save a ton of space on a limited storage device... it's worth it to me.

If anyone knows how to get this working for a profile other than masterprofile, I'd really like to know.

Can you post your advancedsettings.xml for others to replicate? I can live with the little lag, if I can save space on AFTV.

Using Yatse for a remote and it shows the adjustments and mute but that's it. No actual change.

You create/edit the file locally on whatever pc/laptop then adb push it to your ftv:
adb push advancedsettings.xml /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
